Gut bacteria and diverticular disease study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might be related to diverticular disease (pouches in your colon). If you have had diverticulitis, researchers want to see if your gut microbiome is different from people without the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to sign a consent form agreeing to be in the study.
- You must be placed into one of the study groups by the researchers.
- Your diverticulitis episode cannot have been in the right or transverse colon.
- You cannot have taken antibiotics in the last 6 weeks (except for emergency antibiotics started in the hospital or within 24 hours of sample collection).
- You cannot have had a bowel prep (like for a colonoscopy) in the last 3 weeks.
- You must not have colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two treatments for a diverticulitis complication where a pus-filled pocket (abscess) forms near the colon. You either receive antibiotics alone or a procedure to drain the abscess, and researchers will see which leads to better outcomes.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) in people with chronic gut conditions. Researchers want to understand how gut bacteria differ in these conditions to help improve treatments.
This study looks at how changes in gut bacteria (the microbiome) relate to inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease. It may help researchers understand what might improve symptoms or disease control.
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.
This trial tests if mild diverticulitis (a small infection in the colon) can be safely treated at home without antibiotics. If you have this condition and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to avoid a hospital stay.
This study looks at how gut bacteria might affect colon health. If you are between 50 and 75 and scheduled for a colonoscopy, you may be asked to provide a stool sample before the procedure to help researchers understand the link between gut bacteria and colon findings.
