Trial summary

There are many limitations in the current treatments of Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). Some patients have no or little reaction to the traditional drugs. Now the investigators realized that the intestinal microbiota is closely associated with the development of IBD. Read more about this study

About this study

There are many limitations in the current treatments of Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). Some patients have no or little reaction to the traditional drugs. Now the investigators realized that the intestinal microbiota is closely associated with the development of IBD. In recent years, a retrospective study showed that the overall efficiency of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for IBD was 79%, the overall remission rate was 43%, which opened a new chapter in the treatment of IBD. So the standardized fecal microbiota transplantation is considered to be simple but effective emerging therapies for the treatment of IBD. In this project the investigators intend to carry out a single-center, randomized, single-blind clinical intervention study. The investigators plan to recruit patients with IBD (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease) in China. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, one group will be given treatment of standardized fecal microbiota transplantation, the other will be simply treated with traditional drugs, followed up for at least 1 year. The investigators aim to determine the efficiency, durability and safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for IBD treatment, and further to explore which major microbiota may effect in this project.

Read the detailed description

In this projects the investigators aim to re-establish a gut balance of intestinal microbiota through Standardized Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for IBD (UC and CD). We have established a standardized isolation, store, and transport steps of fecal bacteria from donated fresh stool in the laboratory. Then the bacteria will be transplanted to mid-gut by capsule. Patients in this study will be assigned to receive standardized FMT three times or not and would be followed up for at least 1 year. The clinical symptoms, sign, blood tests, endoscopy and questionnaire will be used to assess the efficiency, durability and safety of Standardized FMT at the start and end of the projects. At last, we will use 16S-rDNA to estimate the change of intestinal microbiota.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical remission: the modified Mayo score and endoscopy

    Clinical remission defined as modified Mayo score≦2 (range 0-12). The endpoint of follow-up is the time of clinical recurrence. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: up to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing fecal microbiota capsule in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Ulcerative Colitis Type, run by Zhongshan Hospital Xiamen University 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 3 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 14 Nov 2023. 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 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.

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 Yanyun Fan, Doctor (18759212670, trudy@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical remission: the modified Mayo score and endoscopy (time frame: up to one year). 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 14 Nov 2023.
