Fecal transplant for severe acute pancreatitis recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and had organ failure or complications that improved within 48 hours.
- It's been about 2 weeks since the pancreatitis started, and you have fluid buildup in the pancreas that is getting better.
- You have a feeding tube in place for nutrition.
- You do not have active bleeding in the gut, intestinal fistula, ongoing infection, or need long-term antibiotics.
- You are not pregnant, do not have a weak immune system, and do not have cancer or severe mental illness.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can help prevent infections in people with moderately severe or severe acute pancreatitis. You may qualify if you are between 18 and 75, have had pancreatitis for 15 to 21 days, and already have a feeding tube in place.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic called Bifidobacterium longum can help people with acute pancreatitis recover better. The study compares the probiotic against a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient) to see if it reduces inflammation and complications.
This trial tests whether taking capsules with healthy donor bacteria (fecal transplant) can help people who have severe diarrhea after surgery to remove part or all of the pancreas. The treatment aims to restore gut balance and reduce diarrhea.
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 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.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool into the gut can help children and young adults with ongoing digestive issues after a stem cell transplant. It may improve symptoms like diarrhea or the need for feeding tubes.
