First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests whether taking capsules of processed donor stool (fecal transplant) can lower the risk of serious infections and hospital visits in people with liver cirrhosis. About 300 adults with alcohol-related or fatty liver cirrhosis will receive either the transplant or a placebo and be followed for two years. The goal is to see if this approach can strengthen the immune system and reduce complications.
