Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Ulcerative Colitis Using Dai and Han Donors

11. september 2026 opdateret af: Yinglei Miao, First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Ulcerative Colitis Using Healthy Donors From Yunnan Dai and Han Nationalities: A Randomized Study to Screen Core Metabolites and Key Microbiota

This study is a randomized clinical trial evaluating fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for ulcerative colitis (UC) using healthy donors from two ethnic groups in Yunnan, China. UC is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease causing colon inflammation and ulcers. FMT transfers gut bacteria from a healthy donor to a patient to restore healthy intestinal microbiota.

Previous research suggested that FMT using donors from the Dai ethnic group (a minority nationality in Yunnan with special dietary habits) may achieve better results than Han Chinese donors for UC. This study aims to confirm this finding and understand why.

The investigators will recruit 200 UC patients (ages 18-60) and randomly assign them to two groups (100 each). One group will receive FMT from healthy Han donors; the other from healthy Dai donors. Patients will receive three FMT infusions via endoscopic intestinal tubing. Treatment effects will be assessed at 12 weeks using clinical scores (Mayo score), endoscopic scores (MES), inflammatory markers (fecal calprotectin, CRP, ESR), and intestinal barrier function tests.

Stool samples will also be analyzed using metabolomics and metagenomics to identify key gut bacteria and metabolites linked to better outcomes, and laboratory experiments will be performed to verify how they reduce intestinal inflammation.

The goal is to identify optimal donor characteristics for FMT in UC and uncover mechanisms that may lead to more personalized microbiota therapies.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This randomized, parallel-group clinical study investigates the efficacy and mechanisms of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using healthy donors from the Dai nationality versus Han nationality for treating ulcerative colitis (UC).

Background: UC is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease characterized by colonic mucosal inflammation. FMT has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy by reconstructing intestinal microbiota. Preliminary findings indicate that FMT using donors from the Dai ethnic group in Yunnan Province (who have unique dietary and lifestyle habits) may achieve superior clinical remission compared to Han donors. This study aims to validate this observation and identify the core metabolites and key gut microbiota responsible for the enhanced efficacy.

Study Design: A total of 200 UC patients (aged 18-60 years, Mayo score 3-10, left-sided colitis) will be enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups (n=100 each): (1) FMT with healthy Han donors; (2) FMT with healthy Dai donors. Donors will be healthy individuals aged 18-23 years screened according to AGA guidelines.

Intervention: Patients will receive FMT via transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) at 60 mL per infusion, once every 3 days for a total of 3 times.

Outcome Measures: Primary efficacy is clinical remission at week 12 (Mayo total score ≤2, no individual subscore >1, endoscopic subscore decreased by ≥1 from baseline). Secondary endpoints include Mayo score, MES, histopathology (HE staining), fecal calprotectin, CRP, ESR, and intestinal mucosal barrier function.

Mechanistic Investigations: Donor and recipient stool samples will be collected before FMT and at weeks 1 and 12 post-FMT. Metabolomics (LC-MS/MS, GC-MS) and metagenomic sequencing will identify differential metabolites and key bacterial taxa. Co-occurrence and metabolic complementarity networks will identify keystone species. Correlation analysis will reveal functional microbial groups. In vitro and in vivo experiments will validate the anti-inflammatory effects of identified key bacteria and metabolites.

Significance: This study will elucidate why Dai donors may confer superior FMT outcomes and identify transplantable microbial signatures and bioactive metabolites for UC therapy.

Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Han Donor FMT Group
Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) receive fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from healthy Han donors aged 18-23 years. FMT is administered via transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) at 60 mL per session, once every 3 days, for a total of 3 sessions. Only mesalazine is used before and after FMT to exclude drug interference. Clinical efficacy will be evaluated at 12 weeks post-FMT.
Donor stool (60 g) is processed using the CleanFMT method with GenFMTer system, including filtration, centrifugation, washing, and resuspension in sterile normal saline (1.5× volume). The final product is 200 mL fecal suspension, administered via TET at 60 mL per session, once every 3 days, for 3 sessions total.
