Testing a gut bacteria treatment for calcium oxalate kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a specific gut bacteria can help people with calcium oxalate kidney stones. It looks at whether the bacteria can change how the body processes oxalate, which may reduce stone formation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 80 years old.
- You have a body mass index (BMI) above 18.5.
- You have had at least one calcium oxalate kidney stone.
- You are not already carrying the study bacteria naturally.
- You are willing to eat a fixed diet for the study and to stop vitamins, supplements, and probiotics for 2 weeks before and during the study.
- If you take medications to prevent stones, your dose must be steady for 2 weeks before and during the study.

This study looks at how your gut absorbs oxalate, a natural substance in many foods that can lead to kidney stones. By eating special diets and pausing certain supplements, researchers can measure your oxalate absorption. This may help find better ways to prevent kidney stones.
This study looks at how the body makes oxalate (a natural substance that can form kidney stones) in people who have had calcium oxalate stones. You will eat a special diet and stop supplements for a short time to help researchers understand stone formation.
This study looks at people age 18+ who have a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones and who have a specific AGXT gene change found on genetic testing. It involves following a controlled diet for five days, which may help researchers understand how diet affects kidney stones in this group.
This study looks at how your body absorbs oxalate, a natural chemical that can contribute to calcium kidney stones. If you’ve had calcium stones—especially with high urine oxalate—it may help researchers find ways to reduce future stone risk.
This study looks at how your body handles citrate and oxalate, two substances related to kidney stones. You can join whether you've had kidney stones or not, as long as your citrate and oxalate levels are not too high or too low.
This pilot study looks at how certain gene changes may contribute to calcium oxalate kidney stones. You may be asked for a blood sample and a questionnaire, whether you have a history of stones or not (as a comparison group).
