About this study

Fecal microbiome of donor and recipient will be analyzed before and after fecal microbiota transplantation in IBD patients.

Read the detailed description

Fecal microbiota transplantation will be performed to the IBD patients, and microbial analysis will be done for donor and recipient feces. Fecal microbiota transplantation will be done twice via colonoscopy, with one month of duration. During the early stage of Fecal microbiota transplantation, recipient feces will be analyzed for the intestinal microbiota frequently.

Clinical outcome will be assessed 1month, 2month, 6month, and 1 year after the transplantation.

Relevance of intestinal microbial change and clinical outcome after transplantation and factors associated with successful clinical outcome will be investigated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fecal microbiome transplantationProcedure or surgery

    Fecal microbiota transplantation will be performed through colonoscopy to the IBD patients. Donor feces will be extensively screened for other diseases. Colonoscopy will be done at FMT center of Severance Children's Hospital twice with a month of duration. Recipients will be admitted the day before colonoscopy, and they will be discharged after a day of observation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical remission

    For Ulcerative Colitis patients Patients 18 years old and under: Pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index (PUCAI) less than 10.

    It ranges from 0 to 85, with a higher score indicating greater severity of disease Patients over 18 years old: Partial Mayo score same or less than 1 It ranges from 0 to 9, with a higher score indicating greater severity of disease For Crohn's Disease patients Patients 18 years old and under: Pediatric Crohn's disease activity index (PCDAI) less than 10 It ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating greater severity of disease Patients over 18 years old: Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) less than 150 It ranges from 0 to over 600, with a higher score indicating greater severity of disease

    Measured: 6months after the Second FMT

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Microbiome analysis by using relative abundance at phylum and genus level, beta diversity

    • Microbial changes (increase of microbial diversity and improvement of firmicutes/bacteriodes ratio) in an early stage after FMT by using Relative abundance at phylum and genus level
    • Microbial stability after FMT for one week (change in beta diversity)

    Measured: Before, day 0~28 of 1st FMT, day 0~28, 60, 90, 180 of 2nd FMT

  2. Clinical response using disease activity index

    Measured: 6 months after the Second FMT

  3. Endoscopic healing

    Measured: 4 weeks after the First FMT

  4. Adverse events

    Any adverse events thought to be related to FMT will be measured throughout the follow-up period after FMT.

    Measured: 6 months after the Second FMT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fecal microbiome transplantation in people with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 16 Jan 2019. 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 South Korea. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical remission (time frame: 6months after the Second FMT). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 16 Jan 2019.
