Oral stool-based microbiome treatment for healthy aging
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system 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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether a special diet can help restore good bacteria in your gut after you receive a fecal transplant (a procedure that puts healthy bacteria from a donor into your gut). You'll be asked to take capsules or receive a transplant, and some participants will follow a certain diet to see if it improves gut health.
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 a treatment that puts healthy bacteria into your gut along with prebiotics (food for good bacteria) to help with long-lasting constipation that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This trial tests whether a stool transplant, which introduces healthy bacteria into the gut, can improve symptoms and quality of life in older adults with a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping function is preserved but filling is impaired. It may help because the gut bacteria can affect inflammation and heart health.
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 delivering healthy bacteria from a donor's stool (called a microbiota transplant) through a capsule can help people with cirrhosis and a history of hepatic encephalopathy. The goal is to improve brain function and reduce the risk of further confusion episodes.
