Fecal transplant for sepsis recovery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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 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.
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a stool-based treatment) to improve symptoms and safety in people with certain gut and immune conditions. It aims to see whether changing gut bacteria can help you feel better.
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 transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's stool (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve bowel problems like frequent bowel movements or trouble controlling gas or stool, which are common after rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment helps you feel better and improves your quality of life.
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.
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.
