Stool transplant as first treatment for kids with Crohn’s
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria from stool into the colon can work as a first treatment for children newly diagnosed with mild-to-moderate Crohn’s disease. It may help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms, and it requires regular colonoscopy to monitor progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between ages 3 and 15
- You should not have any known genetic disease that affects health
- Your Crohn’s diagnosis must be new, and it should be mild to moderate based on doctor scoring (PCDAI and SES-CD)
- You must not have changed Crohn’s medicines or doses in the 7 days before the transplant
- You must be willing to have regular colonoscopy during the study

This trial tests whether transferring stool microbes (called fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) can improve Crohn’s disease in children who have not gotten better with usual treatments. If you qualify, the study will check symptoms and colon imaging/score changes over the study follow-up.
This study tests whether a combination of fecal transplant (transferring healthy bacteria from a donor) and dietary changes can help control disease activity in people newly diagnosed with Crohn's. It is for those with mild to moderate symptoms who have not yet taken any Crohn's medications.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a transplant of beneficial gut bacteria from a donor) to help people with Crohn’s disease that is causing narrowing (strictures) and/or abnormal tunnels (fistulas) and who need bowel surgery. You may qualify if you’re an adult, planning ileal/ileocecal surgery, and can complete the colonoscopy while not on certain gut-altering medicines.
This Phase 3 study tests whether transplanting stool bacteria can help people with Crohn’s stay in remission after they stop an anti-TNF medicine. It may help some patients who are currently doing well but need to come off anti-TNF treatment.
This study tests if a standardized fecal transplant is safe and helpful for adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who are already on maintenance therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce inflammation in the digestive tract.
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether a fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) can reduce active inflammation in people with Crohn’s disease. It’s designed for people who currently have signs of active bowel inflammation and can attend regular procedure visits.
