About this study

Official title: Evaluation of The Effect of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on Ulcerative Colitis and Its Mechanism

Ulcerative colitis is a common digestive system disease, the incidence is increasing in recent years.It is reported that the occurrence and development of ulcerative colitis is closely related to imbalance of intestinal flora .Moreover,intestinal mucosal immunity may be related to intestinal flora. Fecal microbiota transplantation as a new technology to rebuild intestinal flora has been used for several disease,but the efficacy of ulcerative colitis by fecal microbiota transplantation needs to be further explored.

Read the detailed description

Patients who meet the inclusion crit ulcerative colitisby will be separated into two parts depending on accepation or refuse of Fecal microbiota transplantation.Blood specimen from patients will be collected to analysis intestinal mucosal immunity.

  • Fecal Microbiota TransplantationOther

    Also called Fecal Microbiota Transplantation(FMT)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events

    According to the inclusion criteria, the patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. Before and after the fecal microbiota transplantation, patients were asked about the history of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea and so on,at the same time, monitoring heart rate, respiration, pulse, blood pressure is necessary and determinating liver function, renal function, electrolytes, blood coagulation, blood lipids, endotoxins and other biochemical tests to evaluate clinical efficacy.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Improvement of clinical symptoms of the treatment

    We evaluate the improvement of clinical symptoms of the treatment through Clinical Symptom Score of ulcerative colitis and Endoscopic Rachmilewitz Scoreto.

    Measured: 4 week

  2. The influence of interleukin-10 after the treatment

    Inflammatory factors such as interleukin-10 in the blood of patients with ulcerative colitis and indicators of disease activity such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein are often elevated, we want to study the change above indicators before and after treatment, reflecting the improvement of Inflammation of ulcerative colitis and study the effect of its activity.

    Measured: 0-4 week

  3. Intestinal mucosal immunity

    Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease, it is closely related to the secretory SIgA, and content of serum secretory SIgA of ulcerative colitis patients often decreased. By measuring serum secreted SIgA before and after the treatment of to reflect the immune function of ulcerative colitis.

    Measured: 4 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Normal Saline in people with Ulcerative Colitis and Intestinal Bacteria Flora Disturbance, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03016780, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2017.
