NCT ID NCT05373784
First seen May 11, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) — a treatment that restores healthy gut bacteria — can reduce repeat attacks of uncomplicated diverticulitis. Ten adults with a history of diverticulitis will receive FMT and then be tracked for flares, ER visits, antibiotic use, and need for surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective enough to warrant larger studies.
