Old drug, new hope: can a gallstone pill stop a dangerous gut infection?

NCT ID NCT06884748

Summary

This early-stage study is testing if adding a bile acid pill called Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) to standard antibiotic treatment can prevent C. difficile (C. diff) infection from returning. It will enroll 30 high-risk adults who have just been treated for C. diff. The goal is to see if this safe, existing drug can help keep the infection from coming back, which is a common and serious problem for many patients.
