Gut bacteria and diverticular disease study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut may be linked to diverticular disease, a condition where small pouches form in the colon. By understanding this link, doctors hope to find better ways to manage or treat the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have diverticular disease and are assigned to one of the study groups.
- You have not had an episode of diverticulitis in the right or transverse part of the colon.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the 6 weeks before the study (except for those given in the emergency room or within 24 hours before samples are taken).
- You have not had a bowel prep (cleansing) in the 3 weeks before samples are taken.

This trial compares two treatments for a diverticulitis abscess (a pus pocket in the colon): draining it with a needle through the skin versus using antibiotics alone. The goal is to see which approach works better and helps you recover without surgery.
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 study looks at ways to improve treatment for a mild form of diverticulitis (a sudden infection of small pouches in your colon) that is confirmed by a CT scan and is on the left side. It aims to find better ways to manage the condition in routine care, which might help you recover with fewer complications.
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.
