Fecal microbiome transplant to treat malnutrition after GI surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether “washed microbiota transplant” (a treatment using processed gut bacteria) can improve malnutrition in adults who developed it after certain upper gut surgeries. It may help by restoring helpful gut bacteria, but you must meet several medical and safety checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You previously had upper-gut surgery that changes the normal pathway (examples include Billroth-II or Roux-en-Y)
- You have malnutrition based on nutrition screening scores (NRS-2002 score 3+ and PG-SGA score 4+)
- You can give written informed consent
- You are not currently expecting a short survival (less than 3 months)

This trial studies if a special, cleaned-up version of fecal transplant (called washed microbiota transplantation) helps treat malnutrition in adults. It is for people who have already had this transplant and have either lost a significant amount of weight or have a low body mass index (BMI).
This study tests whether a combination of a stool transplant (washed microbiota transplantation) plus liquid nutrition through a feeding tube can help people with gastroptosis who are also malnourished. The goal is to improve stomach function and nutrition.
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 trial tests a treatment called washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), which involves giving healthy gut bacteria to patients who have had an organ transplant and are experiencing gut problems, infections, or rejection. The goal is to see if this can help improve their symptoms and overall health.
This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (Washed Microbiota Transplantation, or WMT) can help people who have gut problems like diarrhea, constipation, or infection after receiving a solid organ transplant. It aims to restore healthy gut bacteria.
This trial tests a treatment called washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), which aims to restore healthy gut bacteria to help reduce chronic diarrhea. WMT involves processing donated stool and delivering it to the patient's gut, and it may offer a new option for people who haven't found relief from other treatments.
