What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Cumulative decolonization rate in the treatment and control groups after completion of BM111 administration

    * Decolonization is defined as meeting any of the following criteria: * A reduction of ≥10² CFU (≥99.0%) from baseline, or a reduction from baseline confirmed on two occasions during the study period ② Three consecutive negative results for CRE or VRE detection

  2. Changes in microbiome characteristics (e.g., diversity, microbial composition) in the treatment and control groups after completion of BM111 administration

    Analysis data on changes in microbial community characteristics (e.g., diversity, microbial composition) for each subject

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

  3. Reduction rate of CRE/VRE CFU per gram of stool after completion of BM111 administration

    Reduction rate(%) of CRE/VRE CFU per gram of stool after completion of BM111 administration

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

  4. Decolonization rate at Week 1, Week 4, and Week 8 after completion of BM111 administration

    Decolonization rate(%) at Week 1, Week 4, and Week 8

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

  5. Cumulative engraftment rate of BM111 effective strains

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

  6. Recurrence rate in subjects who achieved successful decolonization after completion of BM111 administration

    Recurrence rate(%) in subjects who achieved successful decolonization after completion of BM111 administration

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

Other outcomes
