Gut supplement to boost recovery after ICU stay
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a supplement made from a natural gut bacterium (Akkermansia muciniphila) to see if it helps you recover faster after being in the ICU with sepsis. The supplement is taken by mouth after you leave the ICU.

This study tests a treatment that changes the gut bacteria of adults in the ICU who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if it helps prevent harmful germs from growing in the gut, which might lead to better recovery.
This study looks at how gut bacteria affect severe infections in the ICU. It tests whether the microbiome can be a source of sepsis and a target for treatment. If you are critically ill or a long-term sepsis survivor, you might help find new ways to prevent infections.
This study looks at the bacteria in the gut of patients with sepsis in the ICU. It aims to understand how these bacteria change during critical illness, which could lead to better treatments.
This trial is testing whether adding a special fiber to tube feeding can help keep your gut bacteria healthy and reduce the risk of infections while you are critically ill. It is for people in the ICU who are already getting nutrition through a tube.
This study tests whether putting healthy donor stool into the gut of people with sepsis can improve their recovery. It aims to see if this treatment helps reduce the chance of dying or getting worse in the ICU.
This study looks at how your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
