Fecal transplant study for bowel injury after radiation
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether transferring stool bacteria (a fecal microbiota transplant) can improve “radiation enteritis,” a bowel problem that happens after radiation treatment. It may help restore gut bacteria and reduce symptoms after your radiation therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You were diagnosed with radiation enteritis using a colonoscopy after you finished radiation treatment.
- You are not currently pregnant or nursing.
- You are able and willing to have a scope procedure to look inside your upper stomach (gastroscopy).
- You do not have an active stomach or gut infection right now.
- Your heart or lung condition is stable enough that you do not have severe heart/lung failure.

This trial tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor to patients can help heal severe intestinal damage that occurs after bone marrow or stem cell transplants. The goal is to reduce pain, inflammation, and other complications from this serious side effect.
This trial tests a treatment called “washed microbiota transplant,” which transfers healthy gut bacteria to help relieve intestinal problems that started after cancer therapy. You might benefit if you’re an adult with certain ongoing stomach or bowel symptoms after standard cancer treatment, and your body is stable enough for the procedure.
This study tests whether a standardized stool-based treatment (fecal microbiota transplantation) can help people with Crohn’s disease. You may qualify if your Crohn’s diagnosis has been stable and you’re willing to receive the fecal transplant.
This study tests whether a fecal (stool) transplant can help heal rectal damage caused by pelvic radiation. The treatment may decrease bleeding and improve symptoms for people whose supportive care hasn't worked well.
This study tests whether a fecal transplant (transferring healthy bacteria from a donor into your gut) can improve bowel control problems that sometimes happen after rectal cancer surgery. If you have ongoing trouble with leakage or urgency, this treatment might help.
This early-phase study tests whether stool/fecal microbiota transplant (a fecal transplant) can help people who develop significant diarrhea or colitis after immune-checkpoint therapy. It aims to reduce bowel inflammation and improve symptoms, while carefully checking for infections.
