Standardized Microbiota Transplant Therapy in Crohn's Disease (NCT06631586)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Crohn's disease (CD) develops because of a disruption of homeostasis between the gut microbiota and the host immune system resulting in excessive inflammation in the intestinal tract. Current drug therapies for CD are directed at the immune system. The emergence of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for the treatment of recurrent C. difficile infections (rCDI) has opened a frontier of restorative therapies targeting the gut microbiome. This study aims to assess if two forms of encapsulated FMT material (MTP101C and MTP101S) can effectively engraft in the ileum and colon of individuals with CD. This study will also assess how the impact of CD phenotype impacts engraftment. Finally this study will explore symptom and endoscopic changes before and after these two therapies.
