Ryan Balfour Sartor (Lead Principal Investigator)
Enteric commensal bacteria have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ionizing radiation-induced intestinal injury by studies in germ-free and antibiotic-treated mice by Dr. Sartor’s laboratory. The hypothesis of this study is that binding and inactivating bacterial products and inflammatory mediators by orally delivered AST-120, a novel, high capacity oral absorbent, can prevent and treat total body radiation-induced enteropathy and its systemic consequences.
