Fecal transplant study for people with frequent kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether transplanting donated stool microbiome (fecal microbiota transplantation) can change gut bacteria and help reduce harm from frequent kidney stones. You would provide urine and stool samples and have follow-up checks to watch for side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 to 69 years old
- You’ve had kidney stones recently, and the stone type is mainly calcium-oxalate (at least 50%)
- Your 24-hour urine shows either high urine calcium (over 225 mg/day) or high urine oxalate (over 40 mg/day, but also below 80 mg/day)
- Your kidney function is fairly preserved (eGFR at least 60)
- You can give informed consent and do study tasks like visits, 24-hour urine collections, and repeated stool collection
- You agree not to join another kidney-stone treatment study at the same time

This pilot study looks at how certain gene changes may contribute to calcium oxalate kidney stones. You may be asked for a blood sample and a questionnaire, whether you have a history of stones or not (as a comparison group).
This study looks at whether a specific gut bacteria called Oxalobacter formigenes can help people who form calcium oxalate kidney stones. You will eat a controlled diet and provide samples to see how your body handles oxalate, a substance that can lead to stones.
This study looks at how problems in the gut can lead to kidney stone risk, especially in people with inflammatory bowel disease or after certain weight-loss surgery. Your participation may help researchers understand the gut–kidney connection and identify why stones happen.
This trial is testing a new type of temporary tube (stent) that dissolves on its own after being placed in the ureter following kidney stone surgery. It looks at how safe and well the stent works to keep the ureter open while healing.
This trial tests whether a stool transplant (fecal microbiota transplantation) can help manage active ulcerative colitis. You would receive a transplant from a healthy donor to see if it improves your symptoms.
This trial screens people as potential donors for a fecal microbiota transplant program used for ulcerative colitis. It checks safety and eligibility so the transplant process is as safe as possible for people with active disease.
