First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates healthy volunteers who donate stool for fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), a procedure used to treat certain gut disorders. Researchers aim to identify factors that lead to valid donations, such as donor health and lifestyle, to streamline the donation process. Up to 400 healthy adults aged 18–50 will be followed for up to 12 months to see how many make at least one valid donation.
