Can a drug and probiotic combo turn back the clock on aging?
NCT ID NCT07363057
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing whether a combination of a drug (GI-102) and a probiotic supplement (GIB-7) can improve markers of aging in the immune system. The study includes 15 healthy adults and cancer survivors aged 18 to 80. Participants will receive either the active combination or a placebo for 8 weeks, and researchers will measure changes in immune cells, sleep quality, and safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GI-102 (efzilonkofusp alfa) plus GIB-7 (synbiotic formula)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a treatment that slows or reverses some aspects of immune aging, potentially improving health in older adults and cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-phase trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination therapy is new, and side effects or lack of effectiveness are possible.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Must be aged between ≥18 and ≤80 years old at the time of informed consent. 2. At the discretion of the Investigator, must be in a state of general health that is not severely compromised (ie, no life-threatening illness or disability). 3. Participants with a history of cancer may be included only if they meet one of the following: 1. Participants have been disease-free for ≥2 years; OR 2. For those diagnosed within 2 years: * The cancer was treated with curative intent (eg, surgery, anti-cancer agents including chemotherapy) * Participants have been in remission for ≥12 months * Participants are not on any active cancer treatment except maintenance therapies (eg, endocrine therapy or bisphosphonates) * Participants must have received systemic anti-cancer therapies without immunotherapy for their cancers 4. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP; see definition in Section 5.3) must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from 14 days prior to Visit 2 until 180 days after the last dose of study medication (GI-102 or GIB-7). Fertile men must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception from 14 days prior to Visit 2 until 90 days after the last dose of study medication (GI-102 or GIB-7). Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Severe and poorly managed chronic diseases, such as advanced cardiovascular disease, kidney failure requiring transplant or dialysis, uncontrolled diabetes, detectable malignancy (≤ 2 years), severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or untreatable, terminal cancer as judged by the Investigator or history of life threatening infection (eg, meningitis). 2. Dependent on walkers or wheelchairs; severe difficulty or inability to perform activities of daily living independently or inability to perform study measures required to test muscle function (an amputee is eligible if participants can walk without walkers or wheelchair) as judged by the Investigator. 3. Major surgery within the past 6 months or scheduled during the study period, including severe orthopedic diseases requiring joint replacement surgery. 4. History of substance abuse or dependency or history of recreational IV drug use over the last 5 years (by self-declaration). 5. Female participants who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding during the study period. Participants undergoing perimenopause or the menopause transition are eligible.
