First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests whether transplanting healthy stool bacteria (fecal microbiota transplantation) can help control ulcerative colitis, a chronic gut disease. About 85 adults with active colitis will receive either the transplant or a placebo. The main goal is to see if a larger trial is possible, not to prove a cure.
