What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance and Presence of Absence of Specific Bacterial Species Found in Microbiome Sequencing
The identification of bacterial species residing the gut flora will be processed by next generation sequencing followed by metagenomic analysis. Bacterial diversity will then be evaluated in parallel with relative abundance of targeted species within and among individual microbes. For example, in examining the class clostridia looking at the species Clostridioides difficile and seeing what proportion of the Clostridia is represented by C. difficile.
Measured: One year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by ProgenaBiome at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance and Presence of Absence of Specific Bacterial Species Found in Microbiome Sequencing (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jun 2025.
