First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This early study tests whether taking a capsule of healthy gut bacteria (microbiota transplant) can improve hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic skin condition causing painful boils. The study will enroll 16 adults with the disease to see if the transplant changes gut and skin bacteria. It is a very early phase trial focused on safety and bacterial changes, not yet on curing the condition.
