Safety and Efficacy of Heterologous FMT by SQIMC-md Capsule in Mild-moderate Ulcerative Colitis Patients (SQIMC-md)

August 8, 2019 updated by: Tongji Hospital

Safety and Efficacy of Heterologous Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) by Standardized Quantitative Multi-donor Intestinal Microbiota Capsule (SQIMC-md) in Mild-moderate Ulcerative Colitis Patients-a Multi-center Double-blind RCT Trial

This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of heterologous fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) by Standardized Quantitative multi-donor Intestinal Microbiota Capsule (SQIMC-md) in mild-moderate ulcerative colitis patients who fail to achieve clinical remission over 4 weeks after full dose 5-Aminosalicylic acid(5-ASA). Intestinal microbiota transplant for FMT will be prepared from multiple healthy donors and prepared by standardized procedure with fixed quantitative dosage. This strategy might offer a novel and safe therapeutic approach for these patients before step up to corticosteroid, immunosuppressant or biologics therapy.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

All candidates for mild-moderate ulcerative colitis treated in Dept. Gastroenterology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College of HUST, the second Xiangya Hospital of central south university and the first affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University will be screened for study inclusion and exclusion criteria. All consenting patients will 2:1 randomized into SQIMC-md treatment group or Placebo group. Three dose of SQIMC-md capsule will be orally administrated on day1, day2 and day3. Follow-up will be performed every 4 weeks and last for 12weeks. Full dose of 5-ASA is orally administrated simultaneously during the study. Clinical data and outcome will be collected and documented in electronic case reported form (eCRF).

FMT DONORS:

Potential healthy adult stool donors (between 18 and 28 years of age) will be recruited by the research staff. They will be asked to volunteer for the screening and regularly supply stool samples according to the study protocol.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical response rate at week 8 after SQIMC-md treatment.
Time Frame: 8 weeks

Assess efficacy of SQIMC-md FMT treatment with the aid of the Mayo score for Ulcerative Colitis clinical disease severity and response rate at week 8 after SQIMC-md treatment.

Mayo score (Disease activity index) for Ulcerative Colitis. Total range for complete Mayo score 0-12 (sum from 4 subscales below) and partial Mayo score 0-9 (sum from 1,2 and 4 subscales below):

Each subscale for mayo score:

  1. Stool frequency: 0-3
  2. Rectal bleeding: 0-3
  3. Mayo endoscopic score: 0-3
  4. Estimation from physician: 0-3

Clinical response rate is defined as a decrease of ≥ 3 points and at least 30% from baseline in the Mayo score, with an accompanying decrease of ≥ 1 point in the subscore for rectal bleeding or an absolute subscore ≤ 1 for rectal bleeding
8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Time Frame: 12 weeks
safety of SQIMC-md FMT treatment by recording the incidence of adverse events.
12 weeks
clinical response rate at week4 and week12

the remission rate at week12
Time Frame: 12 weeks
the remission rate at week12 with the aid of mayo score or partial Mayo score. Clinical remission rate at week 12 after treatment (clinical remission is defined as a Mayo score of ≤ 2 points and no single score > 1 point
12 weeks
Mean (or median) decrease of fecal calprotectin
Time Frame: 12 weeks

12 weeks
Mean (or median) change from baseline in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire （IBDQ） total score and subscore at week 12

IBDQ includes 32 questions. The questions are grouped into four categories (subscore): Bowel symptoms (B), Systemic symptoms (S), Emotional function (E) and Social function (SF). Response options are consistently presented as seven-point scales (1-7). Total score is defined as the sum of subscore of four categories.
