Fecal transplant for severe diarrhea after pancreas removal
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether transferring healthy bacteria from donor stool (FMT) into your gut can help control severe diarrhea after total pancreas removal. It may offer a new option when standard treatments haven't worked.

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.
This early-phase study tests whether stool/fecal microbiota transplant (a fecal transplant) can help people who develop significant diarrhea or colitis after immune-checkpoint therapy. It aims to reduce bowel inflammation and improve symptoms, while carefully checking for infections.
This trial tests whether a treatment called fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) — transferring healthy gut bacteria — can help relieve diarrhea and colitis caused by immunotherapy drugs. If you have melanoma or kidney cancer and are experiencing diarrhea after immunotherapy, this study may offer a new option.
This trial tests whether putting stool (fecal microbiota) from a donor into your bowel can improve symptoms in people with IBS who are not IBS-C. It may help by changing the gut bacteria that can influence IBS symptoms.
This trial tests whether a fecal transplant (transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor) can help people with severe acute pancreatitis. It is for adults who are about 2 weeks past the onset of the disease and have started to recover but still have fluid buildup in the pancreas.
This trial tests whether a fecal transplant (a stool donation from a healthy person) can help patients with advanced stomach cancer respond better to treatment. If you qualify, you would receive the transplant through a colonoscopy, possibly along with other standard therapies.
