Fecal microbiome transplant to treat malnutrition after GI surgery
This trial tests whether “washed microbiota transplant” (a treatment using processed gut bacteria) can improve malnutrition in adults who developed it after certain upper gut surgeries. It may help by restoring helpful gut bacteria, but you must meet several medical and safety checks.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05590351Recruiting

BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT05709769Recruiting
Radiation-related nutrition therapy guided by scan features
This study looks at whether using scan “patterns” (radiomics) to detect malnutrition risk can guide nutrition therapy for people treated for cervical cancer. It may help improve tolerance of treatment and outcomes by targeting nutrition early.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05723718Recruiting
Testing body-water measurements in people with stomach cancer
This trial uses a painless machine to measure your body composition (mainly fluid and muscle) using bioelectrical impedance. It’s looking at people with stage II–III stomach cancer who are receiving standard “multi-treatment” care, to see whether these measurements are useful during treatment.
LublinAges 18–100 - NCT05774314Recruiting
Community health workers helping reduce child malnutrition
This study looks at whether community health workers and local savings groups can improve child nutrition and reduce malnutrition. It may help families who are already part of specific community support programs get better guidance and support.
