Trial summary

Chronic intestinal pseudo obstruction(CIPO) is a serious motility disorder with life-threatening condition, and it is often related with bacterial overgrowth. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) results in restoration of the normal intestinal microbial community structure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Treatment of Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction: a Preliminary Study

Chronic intestinal pseudo obstruction(CIPO) is a serious motility disorder with life-threatening condition, and it is often related with bacterial overgrowth. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) results in restoration of the normal intestinal microbial community structure. The investigators planned to observe the efficacy of FMT in the treatment of a series CIPO patients. Patients received FMT on 6 consecutive days through nasojejunal tubes and followed up for 8 weeks after treatment. Rate of clinical improvement and remission, feeding tolerance of enteral nutrition, CT score of intestinal obstruction, and gastrointestinal quality-of-life index(GIQLI) were evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. the tolerance of enteral nutrition (EN) through nasojejunal tube

    We defined feeding intolerance (FI) as inability to deliver the amount of nutrient as a proportion of 'energy requirements', with values of 80% chosen, or a certain amount (750ml) per 24h.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. the time oral intake started

    The time when oral intake (both fluids and solid food) started was noted.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. symptomatic relief

    The occurrence and severity of each of these symptoms: pain, nausea, vomiting and bloating (each scored as 0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = medium, 3 = severe, or 4 = could not be worse) were recorded by nurses blinded to the intervention on a daily basis.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. scoring evaluation of abdominal CT

    We use a computed tomography scoring system to evaluate the severity of obstruction.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fecal microbiota transplantation in people with Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction, run by Jinling Hospital, China 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2017. 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. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

the tolerance of enteral nutrition (EN) through nasojejunal tube (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 2 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 9 Aug 2017.
