This trial tests an experimental oral vaccine, WRSs2, designed to protect against Shigella sonnei, a common cause of severe diarrhea. Healthy adults aged 18-49 receive either the vaccine or a placebo, then are later exposed to the live bacteria in a controlled setting to see if t…

This study tested a new vaccine called Shigella4V2 to protect infants against shigellosis, a severe diarrheal disease. Researchers gave the vaccine to 110 healthy 9-month-old babies to check its safety and how well it triggers an immune response. The goal is to find the best dose…

This study tests a new vaccine called Shigella4V, designed to protect against shigellosis, a severe diarrheal disease. Researchers are giving the vaccine to healthy adults, children, and 9-month-old infants to check its safety and whether it triggers a strong immune response. Dif…

This study tested a new vaccine designed to protect against severe diarrhea caused by Shigella bacteria. The vaccine was first given to adults in Europe, then to adults, children, and infants in Africa. Researchers checked for side effects and measured immune responses to find th…

This phase 2 trial tested the oral cholera vaccine Vaxchora in 34 healthy adults to see how well it triggers protective antibodies and immune cells. Participants received a single dose, and researchers measured antibody levels, B cells, and T cell responses. The goal is to unders…

This early-stage study tested a new oral vaccine designed to protect against two bacteria that cause severe diarrhea: Shigella and ETEC. Fifty-three healthy adults received the vaccine to check for side effects and to see if it triggers an immune response. The goal is to develop …

This study tested a new Shigella vaccine in 200 healthy African infants to see if it can prevent severe diarrhea. The vaccine was given in two doses, and researchers measured immune responses and safety. The trial is now complete, and results will show whether this approach is pr…

This study tested a new vaccine called ShigETEC in healthy adults and children in Bangladesh. The vaccine aims to protect against two bacteria that cause severe diarrhea: Shigella and ETEC. Researchers gave three doses of the vaccine or a placebo to 196 participants to check if i…

This study tested whether a daily dose of Travelan (IMM-124E) tablets could prevent moderate-to-severe diarrhea in healthy adults deliberately infected with ETEC bacteria, a common cause of travelers' diarrhea. Sixty-three volunteers took either Travelan or a placebo for 7 days. …

This study tested a new drug called VR-AD-1005 for treating severe diarrhea caused by cholera. The drug aims to reduce fluid loss and the need for antibiotics, which could help fight antibiotic resistance. 150 adults with cholera took part, and researchers measured stool output a…

This study tested whether an oral rehydration solution (ORS) with added calcium works better than standard ORS for adults with severe watery diarrhea, including cholera. Researchers measured stool output, diarrhea duration, and other symptoms in 396 adults. The goal is to find a …

This trial tests whether giving children a single dose of the antibiotic azithromycin right after a household member tests positive for cholera can prevent them from getting infected. The study enrolls children aged 1 to 15 who share cooking facilities with a cholera patient. Res…

This study tested whether a mix of two probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Limosilactobacillus reuteri) could shorten diarrhea in children aged 1 to 6 with acute infectious diarrhea. 145 children were randomly assigned to receive the probiotics or a placebo. Researchers mea…

This study aims to find out which germs cause summer diarrhea in children who visit the emergency room. Researchers will collect stool samples from children aged 0 to 16 and test them for viruses, bacteria, and parasites. The goal is to better understand the causes of these infec…

This trial investigates why many children with diarrhea do not receive oral rehydration salts (ORS), a simple and inexpensive treatment that can prevent most diarrhea-related deaths. Researchers will send anonymous standardized patients to private healthcare providers, posing as …

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…

This study tested a mobile app called OASES that guides nurses and clinical officers in rural Uganda through emergency care steps for severe diarrhea, breathing problems, and seizures. About 15 clinicians used the app during simulated patient scenarios to see if it helped them fo…

This study looked at whether having better sanitation helps the oral rotavirus vaccine work better in babies. Researchers followed 261 infants in low-income areas of Maputo, Mozambique, comparing those with improved sanitation to those without. They measured immune response and c…
