WPP-201 bacteriophageVenous leg ulcersIThis study found no safety concerns with
the bacteriophage treatment [57]
NCT00663091
T4 phage cocktailDiarrheaI/IIOral phages showed a safe gut transit in
children but failed to achieve intestinal amplification
and to improve diarrhea outcome, possibly due to
insufficient phage coverage and too low E. coli
pathogen titres requiring higher oral phage doses [58]
