The purpose of this study is to find out whether SER-155 may be a safe first treatment that causes few or mild side effects for people due to irEC.
The study is designed to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the intramuscular administration of a CS6 based vaccine (CssBA) against ETEC co-administered with double mutant labile toxin (dmLT) in preventing moderate-severe diarrhea (MSD) following challenge with ETEC strain B7A in healthy adults. Approximately 72 adult participants, divided into 4 cohorts of 18, will be randomized 1:1 to receive vaccine (45 micrograms CssBA with 0.5 micrograms dmLT) or placebo (normal saline) on an outpatient basis. All participants will receive 3 intramuscular (IM) doses of vaccine or placebo at 3-week intervals (days 1, 22 and 43). Following vaccination, participants will be followed as outpatients for safety using a memory aid from the time of each vaccination through 7 days post each vaccination. Approximately 28 days (plus or minus 1 day) after receipt of the 3rd dose of study agent, participants meeting challenge criteria will be admitted to an inpatient unit and be administered an oral dose of 1 x 10\^10 cfu (colony-forming unit) of ETEC strain B7A. Five days after challenge, participants will be treated with ciprofloxacin, except in cases of known allergy or intolerance. Participants will be discharged from the inpatient unit when they have completed their 3-day antibiotic course and are able to care for themselves. After discharge from the inpatient unit, participants will return for clinic visits and have a phone visit to provide any updates on medication, medical history and AE/SAEs. The primary objectives are: 1) Estimate CssBA+dmLT efficacy in preventing moderate-severe diarrhea (MSD) following challenge with ETEC strain B7A in healthy adults. 2) Evaluate the safety of intramuscular injection of CssBA+dmLT.
The purpose of this research is to study the added benefit of treating IBS symptoms with a medication called mirtazapine in treating IBS symptoms when paired with a low-FODMAP diet compared to a low-FODMAP diet alone. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. These are short-chain carbohydrates that can cause digestive distress in some people. You have been asked to take part in this research because you have symptoms of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome that may respond to treatment with a combination of a medication called mirtazapine and a low-FODMAP diet.
This trial studies how well fecal microbiota transplantation works in treating diarrhea or colitis (inflammation of the intestines) that is caused by certain types of medications (called immune-checkpoint inhibitors) in patients with genitourinary cancer. Fecal microbiota transplantation may effectively reduce the incidence of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced diarrhea/colitis.
The purpose of this study is to assess effect of the DSF probiotic on fecal bile acid levels in patients with BAM.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm phase 2 study of etrasimod plus corticosteroids versus placebo plus corticosteroids for the treatment of IMDC CTCAE v5.0 grade ≥ 2 due to ICI therapy alone (α-PD-(L)1 monotherapy or combined with another ICI, such as α-CTLA-4 or α-LAG-3) or ICI plus an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that in the opinion of the treating physician requires treatment with corticosteroid-based immunosuppression and does not require immediate secondary immune suppression, such as vedolizumab or infliximab (or equivalent). IMDC is one of the most common Immune Related Adverse Events (irAEs) from treatment with ICI. Current guidelines recommend steroid treatment for IMDC CTCAE grade ≥ 2, which requires temporary or permanent cessation of ICI therapy. Corticosteroids may interfere with the anti-tumor activity of ICIs and are therefore not co-administered. Strategies are needed to both reduce the dose and duration of corticosteroids needed for IMDC treatment and minimize the duration off ICI therapy before re-administering ICI (for those patients in whom it is deemed safe to rechallenge).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if the study drug, CIN-103, can help reduce the symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D) in adult patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To evaluate the efficacy of CIN-103 on symptoms of IBS-D when given to patients with IBS-D compared to a placebo. * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CIN-103 when given to patients with IBS-D compared to a placebo Participants will attend the following visits: * Screening Period (1 Visit) * Baseline Period (1 Visit) * Will complete daily diary and other Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) as described in the protocol to assess eligibility for continued participation. * 12-Week Treatment Period (5 Visits) * Study drug taken twice daily by mouth. * Will complete daily diaries and other PROs as described in the protocol. * Follow- Up Period (1 Visit) Researchers will compare CIN-103 Dose 1, CIN-103 Dose 2, and placebo, to evaluate the clinical response to multiple dose strengths of CIN-103 relative to placebo on abdominal pain and stool consistency along with safety and tolerability.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare amino acid-fortified oral rehydration therapy (ORT) to the standard of care ORT in pediatric patients with acute gastroenteritis (AGE). The main questions it aims to answer are: * can amino acid-fortified ORT reduce the duration and severity of AGE compared to standard of care ORT? * can amino acid-fortified ORT increase the secretion of antimicrobial peptides in the gastrointestinal tract compared to standard of care ORT? Participants will be assigned to the experimental treatment (amino acid-fortified ORT) or the standard of care ORT and their disease severity, duration, and stool antimicrobial peptide content.
A randomized placebo controlled, phase 2 study of budesonide in subjects with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ACST). The study includes a run-in period with 20 patients.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how to improve treatment of patients with diarrhea predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D) symptoms.Included patients will be requested to answer online surveys and will undergo treatment with rifaximin. Hydrogen breath testing and biologic samples collection will also be completed during the study.
