About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Pilot Study Assessing the Efficacy of Fecal Microbial Transplantation for Clinical and Endoscopic Characteristics of Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis Patients

The investigator is hypothesize that an intensive FMT regimen will have superior efficacy the treatment of inflammatory disorders of the pouch (pouchitis and CLDP).

Read the detailed description

Study Design:

An open label non-controlled clinical trial.

Study population:

Patients aged 18 to 80 years with a confirmed diagnosis of UC , who underwent IPAA.

Recruitment of the study population:

Patients will be enrolled at the Pouch Clinic of the Tel Aviv Medical Center Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center and at the Department of Colorectal Surgery.

Study procedure:

The study includes six visits to the IBD clinic and phone calls between visits. At baseline, after 8 weeks and after one year of intervention, all patients will undergo pouchoscopy which will be recorded and scored for pouch endoscopic score (Appendix 2). In all three procedures, samples will be collected for future analysis.

According to their endoscopic evaluation at baseline, patients will be categorized as those with an inflamed pouch (cuff, afferent loop, pouch inlet, J-pouch, pouch outlet or pouch mid-line scare) or non inflamed pouch (irritable pouch patients) according to a pouch endoscopic score (PES) and the modified pouch disease activity index endoscopic domain (mPDAI).

Baseline pouchoscopy will include FMT, followed by capsule FMT after 1 week (15 capsules), and after 4 weeks of the study.

All patients will undergo clinical followup at week 4 of the study (mPDAI clinical domain, PCS and PGA) and a second pouchoscopy after 8 weeks.

Clinical follow up will be performed at week 12 of the study, and an annual endoscopic follow up will be preformed at 52 weeks or per personal indication.

Data collection at baseline and follow-up visits will include:

  1. Clinical assessment:
  • Pouch clinical score (PCS)
  • mPDAI - clinical domains
  • Physician Global Assessment (PGA)
  • Pouch endoscopic score (PES)
  1. Collection of biological samples:
  • Stool for analysis of calprotectin level and microbiome
  • Urine for analysis of metabolomics
  • Serum for analysis of complete blood count (CBC), serum levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), albumin, creatinine, liver enzymes
  • Tissue samples collected during pouchoscopy at baseline and followup - samples will be collected from the cuff, pouch body and pouch inlet.
  1. Anthropocentric measures will be assessed (weight, height)
  2. Complete study questionnaires:
  • A validated lifestyle and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ)
  • Three day food diary
  • Quality of life questionnaire (SF-12)
  • Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) Measurement Information System (PROMIS)
  • Life style questionnaire

Safety assessments:

will include history taking, vital signs, physical examinations and laboratory analysis during each visit. Patients who discontinue the trial treatment will continue to be followed as per protocol. Follow-up will be discontinued in patients who withdraw informed consent or are lost for follow-up. All adverse events will be registered as: unrelated, possible related, likely related or definitely related to the intervention. SAEs will be communicated immediately to the IRB.

What participants receive

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

  • Fecal Microbial TransplantationBiological

    1. At baseline, the fecal fluid from 3 different donors, 150 ml, will be delivered via pouchoscopy after which the patient will roll in to the right lateral position and stay in that position for at least 15 minutes. Prior to the procedure, the patient will fast for 12 hours and preform two fleet enemas as preperation.
    2. FMT at 7 days and 4 weeks will be delivered via ingestion of 15 capsules containing 650 µL of fecal fluid from 3 different donors (the same three donors as at baseline).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fecal Microbial Transplantation in people with Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 3 inclusion and 15 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 7 Apr 2020. 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 Israel. 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

Contact Naomi Fliss, PhD (97236974924, naomifl@tlvmc.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

safety of fecal microbial transplantation in pouch patients by disease exacerbations (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Apr 2020.
