Can a national registry unlock the safety secrets of fecal transplants?
NCT ID NCT06311006
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is building a large national registry to track the safety and effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in patients with Clostridium difficile infections. It will follow adult patients receiving FMT as part of their routine care, as well as stool donors, to monitor for complications and disease recurrence. The goal is to gather real-world data that can help evaluate and improve the safety of this treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could provide crucial safety data on FMT, potentially supporting its wider use and improving guidelines for treating recurrent C. difficile infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. It relies on routine care data, which may be incomplete or vary across centers.
