First seen Jan 15, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool into the gut can help people with ulcerative colitis achieve remission without steroids. About 150 adults with active or steroid-dependent colitis will receive either real fecal transplants or a sham procedure. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms, but it is not a cure—patients may still need ongoing management.
