Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) — transferring gut bacteria from healthy donors — can prevent infections in people with moderately severe or severe acute pancreatitis. About 150 adults will receive either FMT liquid or a placebo through a feeding tube. The goal is to see if FMT reduces serious infections like infected pancreatic necrosis or pneumonia.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) liquid from healthy donors
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to prevent life-threatening infections in people with severe pancreatitis.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. FMT carries a small risk of transmitting infections or causing digestive discomfort.
