Fecal transplant capsules for clearing drug-resistant bacteria from the gut
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking capsules containing processed healthy donor stool (fecal microbiota transplant) can safely remove certain drug-resistant bacteria (like CRE, ESBL-E, and VRE) from your intestines. It may be an option for people who have these bacteria in their stool but are not currently being treated with antibiotics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether taking capsules containing freeze-dried healthy donor stool can improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that haven't gotten better with usual treatments. It aims to see if this approach is safe and helpful for people with moderate to severe IBS.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can eliminate hard-to-treat bacteria in the gut, such as ESBL or carbapenem-resistant bacteria. If it works, it may reduce future infections and antibiotic-resistant illness.
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 a stool-based treatment (fecal microbiota treatment) to help remove “carbapenem-resistant” bacteria living in the gut. If you carry these bacteria without being sick, the goal is to reduce or stop that colonization.
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (transferring healthy bacteria from a donor) can help clear multidrug-resistant bacteria from your body. It may be an option if you have such bacteria and are looking for a way to remove them.
This trial tests if capsules containing fecal microbiota can prevent further Clostridioides difficile infections in people who have had at least two recurrences. If you've had multiple C. diff infections and your symptoms go away with antibiotics, this treatment might help keep them from coming back.
