About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and tolerability of NTR-101 in adult participants suffering from acute alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH).

The drug is intended for use in the treatment of AH where the presence of specific strains of E. faecalis play a contributing role.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Are multiple doses of NTR-101 in participants with acute AH safe and well tolerated? What medical problems do participants have when taking NTR-101? Researchers will administer the drug and monitor participants in an inpatient center.

Participants will:

Be administered multiple ascending dose frequencies of NTR-101 every day for 7 days.

Stay in the clinic for 9 days (7 days of treatment) and present to clinic once every week for checkups and tests for 35 days.

Keep a diary of their symptoms until the checkups and tests are completed.
