MBK-01 for recurrent diverticulitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests MBK-01, capsules made from healthy gut bacteria, to see if they can help people who keep getting diverticulitis. If you've had three or more bouts in the last three years, this study might offer a new treatment option.
