About this study
Official title: A Pilot Study of Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) and Its Effects in Patients With Crohn's Disease With Moderate-to-High Risk of Colonization of Adherent-Invasive E. Coli (AIEC)
The goal of this pilot study is to test whether Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) would be an effective antibacterial treatment for managing Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) colonization in Crohn's disease (CD) patients.
It aims to assess the safety of FMT in patients with clinically inactive or mild to moderate CD and to determine the presence of AIEC before and after FMT.
Participants will receive FMT via colonoscopy and have a follow-up colonoscopy at the end of the study.
Read the detailed description
Experimental and observational data suggest that intestinal inflammation in Crohn's Disease (CD) arises from abnormal immune response to intestinal microbiota in genetically susceptible individuals. Genes that regulate innate immune response, intestinal barrier function and bacteria killing of intracellular pathogens have been associated with an increased risk for developing CD in Caucasian populations. The search for specific pathogens in CD has identified in the intestinal mucosa of patients several candidates. One with much supporting evidence is the adherent invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC). Since its discovery in 1998, several groups have reported a higher prevalence of AIEC in CD patients compared to healthy subjects and confirmed their pro-inflammatory potential. A growing body of work indicates that different host environments can select such AIEC pathobiont. AIEC colonization in mice leads to strong inflammatory responses in the gut suggesting that AIEC could play a role in CD immunopathogenesis.
Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) represents a clinically feasible way to restore the gut microbial ecology and has proven to be a breakthrough for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. Clinical trials are being conducted to evaluate its use for other conditions including inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and hepatic encephalopathy. Efficacy of FMT on CD endoscopic lesions and AIEC colonization remains to be demonstrated.

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?
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?
Adverse Event (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05611866, which also lists 15 linked publications.
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 1 Jun 2023.
