16 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is designed to compare effects of aldafermin, (NGM282), 1 mg, and placebo given daily by subcutaneous injection on bowel functions and hepatic synthesis and fecal excretion of bile acids in patients with diarrhea associated with bile acid malabsorption (BAM).

The study objective is to assess the growth of infants fed an experimental formula for the nutritional management of chronic diarrhea.
Growth and Tolerance Infant Study
The study objective is to assess the growth, tolerance and efficacy of a complete amino acid-based medical food in children with chronic diarrhea.
Growth and Tolerance Infant Study
The objective of this study is to test alternative treatment strategies to reduce the frequency of chronic diarrhea among HIV positive individuals. 60 percent of patients with HIV disease in the U.S. will have diarrhea at some point in their illness. Although in general many of the opportunistic infections (OI's) associated with HIV have decreased due to new "drug cocktails", many of these drugs, however, have diarrhea as a side effect. In Asian countries, acupuncture (including moxibustion) has been widely used for the treatment of various gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. However, there are no published studies that test treatment protocols using acupuncture or moxibustion on patients with HIV experiencing chronic diarrhea.
HIV Infections
To assess the efficacy of Saccharomyces boulardii (a nonpathogenic yeast) in producing a significant reduction in diarrheal symptoms in HIV-infected patients with chronic diarrhea.
Diarrhea, HIV Infections
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug Crofelemer in the treatment of non-HIV patients with chronic idiopathic diarrhea; to determine the prevalence of identifiable causes of chronic diarrhea in a non-HIV patients; to assess the diagnostic yield, in terms of identification of treatable etiologies, of commercially available diagnostic evaluations in adult, non-HIV patients with chronic idiopathic diarrhea, that is, evaluate which tests, among the standard diagnostic tests commonly conducted as part of the evaluation of chronic idiopathic diarrhea, are most likely to identify a treatable cause of the diarrhea; and to analyze the relationship between chronic idiopathic diarrhea and health-related quality of life and assess the impact of crofelemer treatment on health-related quality of life.
Chronic Diarrhea of Unknown Origin
To compare with a randomized trial (n=15 per treatment group), effects of colesevelam and placebo treatment, on colonic transit, bowel functions, permeability and tight junction expression in rectosigmoid mucosa of IBS-D with Bile Acid Malabsorption.
Chronic Diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea, Bile Acid Malabsorption
The primary objective is to obtain stool samples from subjects diagnosed with , and displaying signs and/or symptoms of IBD and/or IBS will be evaluated in this study. Eligible subjects require a diagnostic colonoscopy with possible biopsy and clinical evaluation.

This research study is testing an investigational research product called TRX103 as a possible treatment for individuals suffering from Crohn's Disease (CD). The primary purpose of this study is to learn how safe and effective different doses of TRX103 are when administered to individuals with CD.
Crohns Disease
MP-101 will be evaluated in this study to see if it is safe and tolerable.
Short Bowel Syndrome, Short Gut Syndrome, SBS, Short Gut
MP-101 will be evaluated in this study to see if it is safe, tolerable, and can help people with Short Bowel Syndrome. This study will also find out if taking MP-101 can improve the symptoms of Short Bowel Syndrome and reduce the number of times subjects experience bowel movements.
Short Bowel Syndrome, Short Gut Syndrome, SBS, Short Bowel, Short Gut
Approximately 300 patients will be entered into this study taking place throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. This study aims to determine if an investigational drug is safe and effective for treating the symptoms of C. difficile-associated diarrhea and lowering the risk of repeat episodes of diarrhea. The investigational drug will be evaluated in comparison to current standard antibiotic treatment, so all patients will receive active medication. All study-related care is provided including doctor visits, physical exams, laboratory tests and study medication. Total length of participation is approximately 10 weeks.
Clostridium Difficile-Associated Diarrhea, Clostridium Enterocolitis, Clostridium Difficile Diarrhea, Antibiotic-associated Colitis, Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea
This is a prospective, descriptive, observational research study designed to observe and document the clinical practice by domain experts, and how the knowledge of new findings that are published in the medical literature affect clinical decision making. The study will evaluate risk factors and co-variants, including genetic variants that are associated with disease progression such as pain, inflammation, organ dysfunction, disability and quality of life.

This protocol provides for the availability of spiramycin under compassionate-use conditions for the treatment of chronic diarrhea due to cryptosporidium in patients with a compromised immune system, thus deriving additional information regarding its safety and efficacy profile.
Cryptosporidiosis, HIV Infections
This research trial studies the mechanisms of idelalisib-associated diarrhea in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, indolent non-hodgkin lymphoma, or small lymphocytic lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement. The cancer treatment drug idelalisib triggers diarrhea in some patients. Studying stool, blood, and tissue samples in the lab from patients who are given idelalisib may help doctors learn more about the side effects and may help to treat them in future patients.

To improve the safety of diagnosis and therapy for a set of conditions and undifferentiated symptoms for hospitalized patients, the investigators will employ a set of methods and tools from the disciplines of systems engineering, human factors, quality improvement,and data analytics to thoroughly analyze the problem, design and develop potential solutions that leverage existing current technological infrastructure, and implement and evaluate the final interventions. The investigators will engage the interdisciplinary care team and patient (or their caregivers) to ensure treatment trajectories match the anticipated course for working diagnoses (or symptoms), and whether they are in line with patient and clinician expectations. The investigators will use an Interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess impact on diagnostic errors that lead to patient harm. The investigators will perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations using implementation science principles to understand if the interventions worked, and why or why not.
