Bile acid breakthrough: could a Decades-Old pill stop c. diff in its tracks?
NCT ID NCT06884748
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether adding Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) to standard antibiotics can prevent Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection from returning. About 30 adults with C. diff and risk factors for recurrence will take UDCA three times daily for up to eight weeks alongside their usual antibiotics. Researchers will monitor stool tests and symptoms to see if UDCA reduces recurrence and the need for more antibiotics.
