Poop pills vs antibiotics: new hope for gut infections?

NCT ID NCT05266807

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) after standard antibiotics works better than antibiotics alone for treating a first or first-return C. diff infection. About 220 adults with severe or non-severe C. diff will take either antibiotics followed by FMT capsules or just antibiotics. The main goal is to see if FMT helps prevent the infection from coming back within 8 weeks.
