  • Dina Kao on a trial of lyophilised sterile faecal filtrate versus lyophilised conventional donor stool for recurrent Clostridiodes difficile infection

    Dina Kao on a trial of lyophilised sterile faecal filtrate versus lyophilised conventional donor stool for recurrent Clostridiodes difficile infection
    Nov 28 2025

    Can bacteria-free, sterile faecal filtrate match conventional faecal microbiota transplantation for recurrent C difficile infection? Dina Kao (University of Alberta) unpacks a landmark multicentre trial that tested this hypothesis, and we discuss what it tells us about the role of living organisms in the therapeutic effects of microbiota-based therapies.

    Premysl Bercik on a double-blind crossover trial of gluten and wheat in IBS
    Nov 20 2025

    Do wheat or gluten trigger IBS symptoms?

    We spoke to Premysl Bercik about a randomised, double-blind, sham-controlled crossover trial that challenged adults with IBS—who reported benefit from a gluten-free diet—with wheat, gluten, or a gluten-free sham to test symptom and behavioural responses.

    Julia Mayerle on the validation of plasma multimetabolite signatures for patients at risk of or with suspected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
    Jun 19 2025

    Can a multi-metabolite blood test improve early pancreatic cancer detection? We spoke to Julia Mayerle about the METAPAC study, which sought to validate the ability of plasma metabolic signatures to find resectable tumors and reduce unnecessary invasive procedures in high-risk patients.
