Fecal transplant to prevent infections after liver transplant

Fecal Microbiota TransplantationOrthotopic Liver TransplantationMulti-drug Resistant Bacteria

Treatments studied

Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.

This study tests if giving a fecal transplant (a procedure that transfers healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into your gut) before a liver transplant can lower the risk of serious infections after the surgery. It might help strengthen your immune system to fight off germs.

NCT06475430Not yet recruiting
Fecal transplant for bowel problems after rectal cancer surgery

This trial tests whether transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's stool (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve bowel problems like frequent bowel movements or trouble controlling gas or stool, which are common after rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment helps you feel better and improves your quality of life.

Healthy bacteria transfer for confusion after liver shunt

This study tests whether giving a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) – putting carefully screened donor bacteria into your colon – can help prevent repeated episodes of confusion and memory problems (hepatic encephalopathy) that can happen after a liver procedure called TIPS. The goal is to improve your thinking and quality of life by restoring healthy gut bacteria.

Fecal transplant to change gut bacteria in C. difficile infection

This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (a procedure that transfers healthy stool bacteria) can change a person’s gut bacteria after repeated C. difficile infection. It may help reduce recurring infections by restoring a healthier balance of gut microbes.

Fecal transplant to treat complications of liver cirrhosis

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.

Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions

This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
