December 20, 2019 updated by: Anthony Lembo, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

A Pilot Study to Evaluate Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Engraftment in Irritable Bowel Syndrome

This is a randomized pilot study to characterize engraftment of a donor's microflora onto patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea following fecal microbiota transplantation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
stable engraftment of donor microbiota
Time Frame: 10 weeks
Stable engraftment will be defined with the Jensen-Shannon Divergence (JSD) between the bacteria community measured in the donor and recipient. Engraftment scores will be defined by the ratio between the JSD in comparison between the recipient and donor and the recipient and other healthy donors not providing material for their FMT.
10 weeks
