Fecal transplant to treat irritable bowel syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether transferring stool bacteria from a healthy donor (fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It may help by changing the gut bacteria that can influence digestion and gut discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign a consent form in writing
- You are between 18 and 74 years old
- You have IBS that matches the Rome IV symptom definition
- You can safely have an endoscopy (a scope to view the bowel)

This trial tests if a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can help young adults with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) who also have symptoms of anxiety or depression. FMT involves putting processed stool from a healthy donor into your gut to improve digestive and mental health at the same time.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a stool-based treatment) to improve symptoms and safety in people with certain gut and immune conditions. It aims to see whether changing gut bacteria can help you feel better.
This trial tests whether transplanting stool bacteria into the colon (fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve ulcerative colitis symptoms in people with active, moderate to severe disease. If you qualify, the study team will also check that it’s safe for you and that you can safely undergo a scope exam.
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation, which is transferring stool bacteria from a healthy donor to help rebalance gut microbes. If you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that hasn’t improved after several standard treatments, this study may see whether it reduces your symptoms and is safe.
This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) — transferring healthy stool bacteria into your gut — can help people with severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that hasn't improved after trying at least two other treatments.
