It's interesting stuff though, I hope they're onto the right thing. I was perusing through their site and found the following in their April 2016 newsletter:

Research Update
The Vaccine
We are excited to announce that The Jenner Institute, Oxford have completed GMP manufacture of the first component of the Vaccine, with sufficient Vaccine produced to complete Phase I and Phase IIa trials. The second component of the Vaccine is in GMP manufacture at IDT in Germany and work is progressing well.
A Phase I trial in healthy human volunteers is expected to begin in Oxford in Sept this year. Recruitment of healthy volunteers has not yet begun but anyone who is interested in taking part can register with Oxford Vaccine Centres Healthy Volunteers database here to receive regular updates. Participants in the Phase I trial need to be:
- A healthy person aged 18-50 years old.
- A UK resident living within striking distance of Oxford.
- Willing to make a time commitment of 5-10 morning visits to the Jenner Institute over a 6 month period.
A Phase II trial in 20 patients with Crohn's disease is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2017. This trial is not yet
open for recruitment.
Exciting stuff. If any of our UK IBD friends across the pond are involved, then I want lots of updates
