Oral stool-based microbiome treatment for healthy aging
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This early-stage study tests whether changing the gut bacteria using an oral stool-based treatment (called oral FMT) can improve health in older adults. It aims to see if this approach affects aging-related changes, including gut and body function.

This study tests whether a special nutrient supplement combined with a simple exercise routine can improve health markers linked to living longer. It is designed for adults who are starting to feel less strong or energetic but are not yet frail.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria (microbiota) combined with prebiotics can help people with long-term constipation that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. It may offer a new option for those who have tried laxatives and other therapies without relief.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria can help older adults with heart failure that has a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Researchers think the gut microbiome may play a role in heart function and hope this treatment could improve symptoms and quality of life.
This study looks at whether gut bacteria (intestinal flora) are linked to frailty in people age 65 and older. It will also test an intervention to see if changing gut bacteria can help reduce frailty.
This trial tests a probiotic supplement called iVS-1 to see if it can slow biological aging in healthy adults aged 40-75. Researchers want to learn if this probiotic may help support health as you age.
This study tests whether taking probiotics can improve gut health and overall wellness in older adults. It is looking for people aged 60 and older who are already active in a physical activity program.
