Human milk sugars for gut health in Antarctica
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether natural sugars found in human milk (called HMOs) can improve gut health and the immune system. Researchers are looking for healthy adults who are willing to travel to Antarctica for the study.

This study looks at how healthy adults digest and absorb sugars found in breast milk. It may help researchers understand how these sugars work in the body.
This study examines how working at high altitudes (where there is less oxygen in the air) affects employees at an astronomical observatory in Chile. Researchers want to understand health impacts and develop better support for people working in these extreme conditions.
This trial tests how a high-fructose diet affects your gut bacteria and overall metabolic health. It is for people who already know they don't absorb fructose well (fructose malabsorbers) and want to understand how this sugar impacts their body.
This study tests a special supplement added to preterm infant feeding. The supplement contains beneficial sugars found in breast milk, which may help babies digest better and grow. It is for premature babies who have started small feedings but are not yet fully feeding.
This trial studies how special cells in breast milk from mothers with metabolic diseases (like obesity or diabetes) affect infant development and lung infection response after a nutritional intervention. It aims to understand if improving mother's diet can strengthen baby's immune system.
This early (Phase 1) study tests how adding specific dietary supplements affects “protein glycosylation,” which means how sugar molecules attach to proteins in your blood. It’s meant to see how the supplements change these blood measurements and whether the approach is tolerable in generally healthy adults.
