Pioneering poop pills: doctors test Freeze-Dried gut germs in surgery patients

NCT ID NCT06692179

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety and practicality of giving patients a freeze-dried preparation of healthy gut bacteria (from donor stool) before they have part of their colon removed. It will involve 40 adults scheduled for surgery for conditions like early-stage colon cancer or severe diverticulitis. The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe and if the donor bacteria successfully take hold in the patient's gut after surgery.
