Study summary

A national data registry of patients receiving fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) or other gut-related-microbiota products designed to prospectively assess short and long-term safety and effectiveness

Read the detailed description

This registry will prospectively enroll 4,000 patients who undergo FMT at 75 sites throughout North America. Information on FMT methodology employed (e.g., screening of donor and recipient, preparation, FMT delivery) will be collected from each site. The indication for FMT as well as baseline information on recipient will also be collected. Following FMT, patients will be followed at regular intervals up to 10 years post FMT. This will include follow-up information from the patient's healthcare provider at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after FMT as well as direct communication with patients at least annually up to 10 years after FMT. Follow-up information collected will be designed to assess potential short-term and long-term safety and effectiveness.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Incarceration
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2027, 119 months after the start.

Of 26 observational studies under Clostridium Infections, half reached primary completion within 31 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22. This study's planned 119 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 21, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
