Fecal transplant for sepsis-related lung injury
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if transferring healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help people with acute lung injury caused by sepsis. It aims to reduce inflammation and improve breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung injury from an infection, with low oxygen levels.
- You can eat on your own or receive liquid nutrition through a feeding tube.
- You do not have conditions that make fecal transplant unsafe, such as severe bleeding or blockages in the gut.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a very weak immune system, like from advanced HIV, leukemia, or strong immune-suppressing drugs.

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 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 transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor to patients can help heal severe intestinal damage that occurs after bone marrow or stem cell transplants. The goal is to reduce pain, inflammation, and other complications from this serious side effect.
This study tests whether putting healthy donor stool into the gut of people with sepsis can improve their recovery. It aims to see if this treatment helps reduce the chance of dying or getting worse in the ICU.
This trial tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool into the lungs can help treat a severe pneumonia caused by a bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. It may offer a new option for people whose infection is not responding to standard treatments.
This study tests whether giving patients a special preparation of healthy donor stool (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can help with feeding intolerance, which is when the gut cannot handle food or nutrition given through a tube. If this works, it may improve nutrition and recovery for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit.
