Trial summary

In recent years, researches illustrate that multifactorial diseases such as functional gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune diseases, metabolic, behavioral and neurological diseases are associated with an abnormal microbiome structure-dysbiosis, which means the imbalance of the microbiome community.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Patients With Intestinal Dysbiosis -A Pilot Study

In recent years, researches illustrate that multifactorial diseases such as functional gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune diseases, metabolic, behavioral and neurological diseases are associated with an abnormal microbiome structure-dysbiosis, which means the imbalance of the microbiome community. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), the infusion of faeces from a healthy donor to the gastrointestinal tract of a recipient patient aiming to alter the intestine microbiota, is recommended to be performed in Clostridium difficile infection(CDI) as the most effective therapy. It also being used experimentally in the treatment of the disease states linked to dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota. However, the efficacy and safety of FMT to treat the dysbiosis-associated diseases is still in its infancy. To further verify the indications above, more data is required to be collected through studies.

What is being measured

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

  1. The efficacy of FMT in patients with gastrointestinal symptom will be assessed by the change of Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale(GSRS).

    Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale(GSRS) is a measure of gastrointestinal symptom severity in five clusters (pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and early satiety).The items are scored between 1 and 7, where 1 corresponds to "no discomfort at all" and 7 to "very severe discomfort" from the symptom. The participants will be asked to filled in the scale in several time points from baseline to 12 months after FMT.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE) V4.0

    Measured: 1 year
