NCT ID NCT05758961

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to collect 100,000 fecal samples from adults living in France to better understand the gut microbiome—the community of bacteria in our intestines. Researchers will analyze how diet, lifestyle, age, and health conditions like diabetes, obesity, and Parkinson's disease relate to differences in gut bacteria. The goal is to create a detailed map of gut microbiome diversity, which could help scientists develop future treatments or prevention strategies.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could reveal how gut bacteria vary with diet and disease, potentially guiding future treatments for conditions like diabetes, obesity, and Parkinson's.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to cures, and findings might not apply to people outside France.
