FMT for Multidrug Resistant Organism Reversal

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Infection With Multi-drug Resistant Organisms
Interventions
Biological: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)
Registration Number
NCT02312986
Lead Sponsor
Washington University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

This proposed protocol involves the use of the fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to suppress or reverse colonization with multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO) in subjects with recurrent MDRO infections due to organisms of likely enteric origin.

FMT will be performed on subjects with a history of at least three recurrent infections due to MDRO; at least two recurrent, severe infections due to MDRO requiring hospitalization; or at least two recurrent infections due to MDRO for which only antimicrobials with rate limiting toxicities are available.

The objective of this protocol is to determine if fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) will be able to prevent additional recurrences of infections due to MDRO by suppressing or reversing enteric colonization with MDRO.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective pilot study of fecal microbiota transplantation in patients with a history of recurrent MDRO infections. Subjects who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria and provide written, informed consent will provide a pre-FMT stool sample. The FMT will be administered by enema in the outpatient setting by trained personnel. Patients will provide stool samples 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months post-FMT. The subjects will also be monitored for potential adverse events, recurrence of MDRO infections, infections that may be related to FMT, and worsening of existing comorbidities or development of new comorbidities.
