About this study

Official title: Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for the Treatment of Steroid Resistant/Dependent Acute Gastrointestinal Graft Versus Host Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiome transplantation in patients with steroid resistant/dependent acute gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The patient will cease antibiotics treatment 1 day before FMT, and stop taking food 6 hours before FMT. Patients will be given Ondansetron intravenously 1 hour before FMT. Patients will be injected 200~300 ml fecal microbiome fluid to left colon by Colonoscopy or duodenum through duodenal tube by gastroscopy. If patient's condition is stable or improved within 1 week, second FMT may be performed 1 week later, up to 4 times will be performed if patient response. If patient's condition is not improved after the second FMT, ceasing FMT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing fecal microbiome transplantation in people with Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm, run by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 2 sites 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 23 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

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?

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?

Response rate (time frame: 12 weeks within FMT). 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 23 Apr 2024.
