Dear Partners,

As we enter the New Year, we want to express our deep gratitude for your unwavering commitment to patients with Clostridioides difficile, an insidious disease that can strip people of their health, dignity, and independence. We are grateful to work alongside partners like you, who show up for these patients every day.

We know that treatment progress has not reached everyone. Vulnerable children and adults with severe and fulminant disease remain at risk of being left behind, and we want to be clear: we are not stepping away from them.

The OpenBiome Foundation remains committed to ensuring patients have safe access to investigational FMT where it is needed most and to supporting our partners who provide that care with courage and compassion. Together, we will continue moving forward to advance research, close the treatment gap, and ensure that no patient is left behind in 2026.

Thank you for standing with patients, and with us. Wishing you good health, happiness, and a joyful New Year.

Warmest regards,

The OpenBiome Foundation Team
