Fecal transplant for people with cirrhosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
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 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 trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can help people with alcohol-related cirrhosis who are still drinking. It aims to see if FMT can reduce alcohol cravings and improve liver health.
This trial tests whether a fecal (stool) transplant from a healthy donor can help people with both PSC and inflammatory bowel disease. It aims to see if the treatment can improve liver health and reduce inflammation. You must have early to moderate liver scarring and be on stable medications.
This trial tests whether a stool (fecal) transplant from a screened donor can help remove antibiotic-resistant gut bacteria (MDRO) that keep coming back in your stool tests. It aims to reduce colonization that makes follow-up and treatment harder.
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 fecal microbiota transplantation (a controlled transfer of stool bacteria) is safe in people with severe alcoholic hepatitis. It aims to see if the treatment is tolerable and what risks may come with it, in addition to watching how liver illness changes.
