Fecal transplant trial for worsening liver failure
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a transfer of healthy gut bacteria from a donor) to help people with worsening liver failure. It may help by changing gut bacteria, which can affect complications like confusion, fluid buildup, infections, and kidney problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 65 years old
- A doctor has diagnosed you with liver failure based on the study’s criteria (rapidly worsening yellowing plus blood clotting problems and/or specific blood test levels)
- You can and will sign informed consent
- You do NOT have certain serious conditions (for example severe heart failure, serious lung disease like COPD, or prior stroke)
- You do NOT have active serious infections or certain bleeding (for example gastrointestinal bleeding or septicemia)

This trial tests whether a fecal transplant (transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor) can help people with severe acute pancreatitis. It is for adults who are about 2 weeks past the onset of the disease and have started to recover but still have fluid buildup in the pancreas.
This trial studies whether transferring healthy gut bacteria (from a donor sample) can improve outcomes for people with liver cirrhosis who have worsening complications. It may help by changing the gut microbiome, which can influence inflammation and liver health.
This study tests whether stool from healthy donors can help people with advanced liver disease (cirrhosis) who have had complications like fluid buildup. You would receive the transplant through a colonoscopy or enema.
This trial tests whether giving a fecal transplant (a procedure that replaces the bacteria in your gut) can help people with advanced liver cancer whose current treatment has stopped working. It may help boost your immune system to fight the cancer.
This trial tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria (from donor stool) can improve outcomes in people with cirrhosis. If you have mild to moderate cirrhosis, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplantation) can help your liver cancer become sensitive again to treatment that has stopped working. It may help reverse drug resistance and improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer.
