Study summary

The study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation by automatic methods in the treatment of moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis. There are two groups according to FMT pathway ( through a naso-jejunal tube or transendoscopic enteral tubing). Patients were followed up until 2 weeks after the final FMT in hospital.

Inclusion criteria

  • Eligible patients required a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis made by a primary gastroenterologist based upon history, physical exam, laboratory/radiological studies and gastrointestinal histology. All patients were age ≥ 18 year old at the time of enrollment. They had moderate to severe symptoms with a mayo score between 6\~12 and an endoscopic subscore ≥2. Patient medication for UC could not have changed for at least one month prior to FMT.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Active or history of intraabdominal abscess, acute abdomen or other clinical emergencies requiring emergent management, pregnancy, prior history of FMT, prior history of TNF inhibitors use, or other serious systemic disease.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    FMT through a naso-jejunal tube

    The purified fecal microbiota was delivered into the intestine through a naso-jejunal tube.

    Other: FMT through a naso-jejunal tube

  • Active comparator
    FMT through TET

    The purified fecal microbiota was delivered into the intestine through a transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) which is fixed to the cecum with clips under endoscopic guidance.

    Other: FMT through TET

Interventions

  • OtherFMT through a naso-jejunal tube

    Prepared feces by automatic methods, then the purified fecal microbiota was delivered into the intestine through a naso-jejunal tube.

  • OtherFMT through TET

    Prepared feces by automatic methods, then the purified fecal microbiota was delivered into the intestine through a transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) which is fixed to the cecum with clips under endoscopic guidance.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. clinical response

    reduction in the Mayo score of ≥3 points and ≥30% from baseline, with a decrease in the rectal bleeding subscore of ≥1 point or a subscore of ≤1

    Time frame: 2 weeks after FMT

Secondary outcomes

  1. clinical remission, safety and progression of disease

    clinical remission: Mayo score ≤ 2, with no subscore \> 1; progression of disease: measured by initiation of anti-TNFα or colectomy. Adverse event severity and relatedness was graded using NIH criteria.

    Time frame: 2 weeks after FMT
