Update: MEBO Metabolomic Profiling Research Study

Update on the
MEBO Metabolomic Profiling Study

On August 18, 2016, The status of the MEBO Metabolomic Profiling Research Study, NCT02683876 was changed from 'Recruiting' to 'Active, not recruiting.' This means that we are not taking any more volunteers for this study at this time. However, if you wish to be put on a wait list in case the results merit that the study continue forward, please express your interest in doing so via email at, maria.delatorre@meboresearch.org. Please do not call on the phone, as it is not always manned with a volunteer. MEBO has a wholly volunteer staff and no one has volunteered to answer the phones at this time. Your email will be answered in the order in which it was received. Thank you for your consideration to this matter.

As of today, Sept 11th, the University of Alberta lab has received 10 samples in good condition, 2 kits were returned as undeliverable to address given, and the lab is still waiting for the 15 outstanding samples. Everything is at a standstill due to the 15 outstanding samples. If you are an active participant in this study and have already received your kit, please return your samples as soon as possible because analysis of all the samples will be carried out once all have been received by the lab. The sooner you send in your samples, the faster we can move forward with the study. If you have changed your mind and do not plan to ship your sample, please let us know so that we can take this into account. Thank you.

Since this is an exploratory study, there is no guarantee that significant results will arise from it, but as MEBO has stated in the MEBO Mission, we are committed to pursue research not only into TMAU, but also to try to discover other causes of uncontrollable body and/or breath odor conditions.

MEBO Research’s Mission is to initiate formal scientific research into rare genetic metabolic diseases, particularly those resulting in systemic, difficult to control body malodor and halitosis conditions, including but not limited to Trimethylaminuria. In addition, studies will be initiated to analyze and categorize gut microbiota and to characterize the genes that the microbes are expressing in an effort to identify and understand microbial communities that could produce malodor symptoms, and to identify effective targeted course of treatment to control symptoms, and preferably cure the condition of our international body odor community.

I thank all the volunteer participants in this program for their contribution to this cause.
