Project description:Interventions: Open label Phase 1b proof of concept study to test for dysbiosis in small cohort of people identified as at risk for developing colorectal cancer (CRC) based on the background of conventional adenomatous polyps, and the potential of a light infection with hookworm to improve microbial richness and diversity.
All participants will receive in total 20 hookworm larvae (L3) to be applied by the study nurse as two doses of 10x L3 to the skin approximately 4 weeks apart. The L3 will be applied to a non-adherent dressing which will be placed on the forearm of the participant. The dressing will need to remain in place for the remainder of the day, and disposed of at night.
Analyses of blood and rectal mucosal immune responses, mucosal and faecal microbiomes will be undertaken pre and 12 months post hookworm infection.
The fidelity of the hookworm intervention will be monitored by participant reported incidence of a rash at the inoculation site (the first week after inoculation) and laboratory tests for the typical immune response (eosinophilia) and the presence of parasite eggs in faecal samples taken at the post-inoculation clinic visits.
Primary outcome(s): A composite primary outcome including measurements of bacterial species richness (number of observed operational taxonomic units, OTUs) and bacterial species diversity (Shannon Index) in faecal and colon biopsy specimens, determined by shotgun metagenomic sequencing[Week 52 post hookworm inoculation]
Study Design: Purpose: Prevention; Allocation: Non-randomised trial; Masking: Open (masking not used);Assignment: Single group;Type of endpoint: Efficacy

Project description:Gut microbes elicit specific changes in gene expression in the colon of mice. We colonized germ-free mice with microbial communities from the guts of humans, zebrafish and termites, human skin and tongue, soil and estuarine microbial mats. We used microarrays to detail the differences in global gene expression in colon tissue that are caused by the different microbial communities 28 days after gavage into the germfree animal.
