About this study

Official title: Profiling Fecal Samples to Optimize Selection of Stool Donors for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) represents a promising therapeutic in numerous clinical situations associated with dysbiosis. Today, this procedure is recommended in patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections but beneficial effects of FMT have also been described in other diseases associated with intestinal dysbiosis …. A donor effect which could be related to the inter-individual variability of microbiota and microbiome leading to specific metabolic capacities may influence the efficacy of the procedure.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) represents a promising therapeutic in numerous clinical situations associated with dysbiosis. Today, this procedure is recommended in patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections but beneficial effects of FMT have also been described in other diseases associated with intestinal dysbiosis …. A donor effect which could be related to the inter-individual variability of microbiota and microbiome leading to specific metabolic capacities may influence the efficacy of the procedure. The aim of our study is to measure fecal biochemical, microbial and immunological parameters that are known to influence gut homeostasis in a group of 40 healthy donors to establish a referential profile of human stools to optimize donor profiling, beyond the infectious parameters, to increase the success rate of FMT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dosage of fecal samples with search for differentiated fecal profiles.

    16S genomic analysis of microbiota will be performed for the evaluation of alpha and beta diversities of microbiota.

    Results will be aggregated to define differentiated faecal profiles in healthy volunteers.

    Measured: At 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Dosage of fecal biomarkers with search for differentiated fecal profiles.

    Fecal biomarkers such as calprotectin will be dosed. Results will be aggregated to define differentiated faecal profiles in healthy volunteers.

    Measured: At 12 months

  2. Quantification of colonic inflammation in mouse model.

    The quantification of colonic inflammation by myeloperoxidase assay using a sandwich ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

    Mouse model : authorization APAFlS#7600-20l60620l6336853 v3

    Measured: At 15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Questionnaire and fecal sample collection in people with Fecal Microbiota Transplantation, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 14 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dosage of fecal samples with search for differentiated fecal profiles. (time frame: At 12 months). 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 3 Jul 2023.
