ACT supports the production and distribution of a microbial restoration product that is saving lives and driving breakthrough research.

Treatment

Our mission is to save lives through microbial restoration. Through our partnership with the University of Minnesota Microbiota Therapeutics Program, we developed the first stool donor program and are the only academic program in the world that is manufacturing therapeutic microbiota in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice protocols, a requirement for all pharmaceutical products. To date, we have produced over 13,000 capsules used to treat C. difficile patients and to target illnesses in clinical trials across the country.

Clostridium difficile is an antibiotic resistant infection that infects roughly 500,000 patients each year. ACT’s partnership with the University of Minnesota treats C. difficile patients locally and provides therapeutics to providers around the United States. Our therapeutics have treated over 1,000 patients with a 98% success curative rate against recurrent C. difficile infections.

I was diagnosed and treated for cancer. As part of my treatment, I had lots of antibiotics....then C. diff. After the fecal microbial transplant, I improved! I could sleep again (after getting up to have constant diarrhea every 15-30 minutes during the course of C. diff). I am so grateful to Dr. Khoruts and his team for giving my life back to me!

Jade's Crohn's Disease Story

I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 2014. I developed antibodies to many of the biologics used to treat the condition. I had a bowel resection in 2016 and was disease free for 3 years after that. When my disease returned, it returned somewhere difficult to treat. A new medication and innovative procedure put me in remission again. I was then recruited for this [Intestinal Microbiota Transplantation] study. New medications and ways of treatment are being developed all the time. In the 10 years since my diagnosis things have improved so much. Having IBD isn't fun - but it is the best time to have it. You can still have a life, even if it looks a bit different.

Roger's Story

Initially I had 3 separate UTI infections that were due to a catheter that had been in place for 1 week following a broken ankle surgery. These infections were cause by a drug resistant E. Coli that had been treated by multiple antibiotics during the course of treatment. Due to the use of the antibiotics, I developed 2 separate bouts of C. Difficile infections. I received just one treatment of IMT. It helped greatly in regaining my quality of life.
