Gastrointestinal mucositis

This study tests a new cholera vaccine (OSP:rTTHc CCV) in 390 healthy adults and children aged 1 to 45 in a region where cholera is common. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe and triggers a strong immune response. Some participants get the vaccine with or without an adjuva…

This study in Nairobi, Kenya, is testing whether giving the oral cholera vaccine Euvichol-S at longer intervals (3 months or 12 months) works as well as the standard 2-week schedule. Over 1,000 healthy participants aged 1 year and older will be randomly assigned to one of three d…

This study tests a new oral cholera vaccine (Biovac OCV-S) to see if it works as well as a currently approved vaccine (Euvichol-Plus). About 2,824 healthy people aged 1 to 45, including some adults living with HIV, will receive two doses. Researchers will check immune responses a…

This early-stage study tests a new vaccine called IVT Shigella-04 to see if it is safe and helps the immune system fight Shigella bacteria, a major cause of severe diarrhea. About 60 healthy adults aged 18 to 49 will receive two shots of either the vaccine or a placebo. Researche…

This large Phase 3 trial tests whether VE303, a capsule containing 8 harmless bacteria, can prevent repeat Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infections. About 852 people who have had at least one prior C. diff infection will take VE303 or a placebo for 14 days. The main goal is …

This study looks at whether giving antibiotics to children with a certain type of Shigella infection (non-dysentery watery diarrhea) helps them recover faster and grow better. About 700 children in Bangladesh and Zambia will receive either azithromycin or a placebo. Researchers w…

This early-stage study tests a new imaging agent called 18F-4FN for PET scans to safely detect inflammation in the body. It involves 55 adults with cancer who are on immunotherapy or have suspected inflammation. The goal is to see if this agent can highlight areas of inflammation…

This study tests whether whole genome sequencing (looking at all DNA) finds more answers than whole exome sequencing (looking at just the protein-making parts) for children with long-lasting diarrhea and gut problems. About 180 children will be randomly assigned to one test or th…

This study tests a program called CHoBI7, which teaches handwashing, water treatment, and safe water storage to diarrhea patients and their families in Bangladesh hospitals. Researchers want to see if this program reduces diarrhea and improves hygiene behaviors compared to standa…

This study tests whether a one-time infusion of amimestrocel, made from donated umbilical cord cells, can prevent severe mouth and gut sores in people receiving a stem cell transplant. About 22 adults will get the infusion before their transplant, and researchers will monitor for…

This study tests whether providing targeted water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) supplies and education to households of cholera patients can reduce the spread of diarrhea. About 2,900 people in South Kivu, DRC, will take part. The goal is to see if these simple measures can pre…

This study aims to see if a 7-day water, sanitation, and hygiene program can reduce cholera infections in neighborhoods where a cholera patient lives. About 3,140 people will take part, focusing on homes without running water. The program provides practical tools and education to…

This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement called BioAmicus Complete can help infants with colic, constipation, diarrhea, and eczema. 140 babies will receive either the probiotic drops or a placebo (sunflower oil) for 25 days. Researchers will track changes in stool, c…

This study tests whether adding amino acids to the standard rehydration drink can help children aged 6 months to 5 years recover faster from acute gastroenteritis (stomach flu). About 72 kids with mild to moderate diarrhea will receive either the fortified drink or standard oral …

This study aims to collect medical data and biological samples (blood, urine, stool, and tissue) from up to 4,000 adults with known or suspected gastrointestinal diseases. Participants receive standard medical care at the NIH, and any extra samples or leftover tissue from procedu…

This study in Bauchi, Nigeria, is testing whether giving free Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and zinc directly to homes can increase how often these treatments are used for children under 5 with diarrhea. Over 100,000 children are taking part, with some areas receiving the medicine…

This study looks for immune markers that show whether a person is protected from cholera after vaccination or natural infection. About 1,200 people will receive either a cholera vaccine or a typhoid vaccine (as a comparison) and give blood samples over two years. The goal is to f…

This pilot study is measuring prednisolone levels in 120 people with inflammatory diseases like thyroid eye disease, vasculitis, COPD, asthma, and others. Participants take high-dose prednisolone as part of their routine care, and researchers take timed blood samples to see how t…

This study looks at 320 adults who are about to start strong immune-suppressing therapy and have already had at least two COVID-19 shots. Researchers want to find out if giving a COVID-19 booster right before starting therapy or waiting six months provides better protection. Part…

This study will test 10,000 people in Cambodia for 57 different infectious diseases, including dengue, flu, and malaria. Researchers want to understand how these diseases spread and who is at risk. The goal is to give local health authorities the information they need to create b…

This study follows 368 mothers and their babies in Zimbabwe from pregnancy until the child turns 3. Researchers want to understand how malnutrition, poor water and sanitation, and gut problems affect child growth, infections, and development. They will measure gut bacteria, immun…

This study looks at 60 children with congenital diarrhea and enteropathy (CODE) in China. Researchers will collect medical history, blood, and stool samples to find biological markers and build a risk prediction model. No new treatment is being tested; the goal is to better under…

This study will follow 1,200 Australian adults traveling to Southeast Asia to find out how often they get travelers' diarrhea and which germs cause it. Participants will report symptoms and provide stool samples for testing. The results will help plan future studies on ways to pr…
