What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial asks whether a specific probiotic strain, Bacillus coagulans BC4U, can temporarily boost immune activity in healthy adults. Participants receive three different doses of the probiotic and a placebo on separate visits, with blood tests measuring immune signaling and cell activity. The goal is to see if the probiotic enhances immune surveillance and communication compared to placebo.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Bacillus coagulans JBI-YZ6.3 (BC4U), a probiotic supplement
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement that supports everyday immune readiness and surveillance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early proof-of-concept study in healthy adults, so results may not apply broadly. The immune effects measured may be modest or short-lived.
