NCT ID NCT03524352
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) from a healthy donor can delay or prevent pouchitis, a common complication after ulcerative colitis patients have their colon removed and a pouch created. About 42 adults who have had this surgery and have had pouchitis before will receive either FMT or a placebo. Researchers will track how long it takes for pouchitis to return.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
fecal microbiota transplant (FMT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new way to prevent pouchitis flare-ups in people with ulcerative colitis who have had pouch surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. FMT also carries risks like infection or digestive upset.
