Fecal transplant for long-term ulcerative colitis treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can safely and effectively treat mild to moderate ulcerative colitis over the long term. FMT involves transferring stool from a healthy donor to restore a healthy balance of gut bacteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 80 years old.
- You have had ulcerative colitis for at least 3 months.
- Your symptoms are mild to moderate (Mayo score 4–10 or partial Mayo score 2–7).
- You have inflammation in your rectum that is at least 5 cm long and visible with a scope.
- You agree to participate and sign the consent form.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 2 weeks or steroids above 20 mg in the last 4 weeks.
- You are not currently using biologic medications (like Humira, Entyvio, Xeljanz, or Stelara).

This trial tests whether a stool transplant (fecal microbiota transplantation) can help manage active ulcerative colitis. You would receive a transplant from a healthy donor to see if it improves your symptoms.
This trial tests whether transplanting stool bacteria into the colon (fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve ulcerative colitis symptoms in people with active, moderate to severe disease. If you qualify, the study team will also check that it’s safe for you and that you can safely undergo a scope exam.
This trial tests whether one or multiple fecal transplants from a healthy donor can help treat both a recurring C. diff infection and active ulcerative colitis. It aims to find the best schedule for the procedure.
This trial studies whether transferring healthy stool bacteria into the gut (fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) can improve symptoms in children with ulcerative colitis. It may help by changing gut bacteria, especially for children who are newly diagnosed or who didn’t respond to standard treatments.
This trial tests if a fecal transplant combined with dietary changes can help control symptoms in people with active ulcerative colitis who haven't responded well to standard treatments or advanced therapies.
This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transfer (a stool-based therapy) can improve outcomes when added to starting a new biologic medicine for ulcerative colitis. It compares fecal transplant versus placebo (a sham treatment) to see if symptoms and inflammation improve faster or more strongly.
