Summary
This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool into the colon can help people with ulcerative colitis achieve long-term symptom control without steroids. Thirty participants aged 10 to 80 will receive the transplant via colonoscopy or capsules. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce inflammation and keep the disease in remission for up to 48 weeks.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to manage ulcerative colitis without long-term steroids, potentially reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. FMT is generally safe but can cause temporary digestive discomfort or, rarely, infection.
