Fecal transplant for alcohol use in cirrhotics
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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.
This trial tests a new way to give a fecal transplant (called washed microbiota transplantation) to adults with long-term diarrhea. The goal is to see if it helps improve stool consistency and reduce how often you need to go to the bathroom.
