C. Diff Study
This is a 6 Month Study in Omaha, Nebraska
Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) is a common bacterial infection that affects the digestive tract, causing symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. Research indicates that CDI affects millions of people worldwide, with a significant impact on healthcare systems due to its recurrence and complications. CDI can lead to severe complications such as pseudomembranous colitis and toxic megacolon, especially in vulnerable populations like elderly individuals and those with weakened immune systems.
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LMN-201, an investigational drug that might prevent CDI reinfections by controlling or removing the “bad” bacteria. This study drug is swallowed as capsules. The capsules hold proteins carefully grown in spirulina, a blue-green algae rich in nutrients.
The potential benefits to participants would be study-related medical care at no-cost and knowledge gained about their condition. On a wider scale, there may be general benefits to society because the investigational treatment may become a future treatment option.
Commonly Asked Questions About This Study
Why should I participate in this study?
People choose to participate in clinical trials for a variety of reasons, including receiving compensation for their efforts, no-cost medical exams, the chance to play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new medical treatments before they are available to the wider public, and help others by contributing to the future of medical science.
Are clinical studies safe?
There are plenty of misconceptions about what happens on a clinical research study. These are just that: myths. Your safety is our number one priority. Drug development is highly regulated with strict safety and ethical guidelines and we take those regulations very seriously. Your health is constantly monitored by specialized physicians with several years of experience.
Do I have to pay to participate in clinical studies?
Participating in our studies won’t cost you a dime. In fact, we compensate you for your efforts during the clinical trial. Our research staff also provides all study-related medication and care at no expense to you.
What if I change my mind about participating?
Our clinical studies are always voluntary. You are free to withdraw your consent at any time. Once you’ve already started the clinical study, our doctors may need you to come back for a visit, just to check that the drug is out of your system.
