An Open-Label Phase I Clinical Trial of Vancomycin Followed by Fecal Microbiota Transplant for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

This is an open-label clinical trial to evaluate the Safety of fecal microbiota transplant following a 10 day treatment with Vancomycin in adult subjects with Parkinson's disease. Subjects in the study are required to meet with the study clinician on 11 occasions: two (2) visits for informed consent and baseline assessment, one (1) visit prior to FMT for colonoscopy instructions and exam, one (1) visit for the fecal microbiota transplant procedure by colonoscopy at an outpatient surgical center, seven (7) visits for post-FMT assessment. There are also daily phone calls in the week following the FMT, and weekly phone call visits (during weeks in which there is not a physical visit) to check up on how the subject is doing, any change in medications, side effects, and answer any questions.
