Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators will perform a multicenter, 2:1 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of AMR in patients with diarrhea predominant-IBS (IBS-D) diagnosed according to Rome III criteria and the IBS-QOL questionnaire. Central supply and quality control of donor material will be used to control bias.

Primary endpoint is improvement of IBS-SSS (Severity Score System) compared to baseline. Secondary endpoints include changes in IBS-QOL, short term safety and one year follow up to control long term effects, safety and changes in and acceptance of donor microbiome after AMR using16S rDNA sequencing and quantitative diversity analysis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study assesses allogeneic microbiota reconstitution (AMR) as novel treatment to improve symptoms and quality of life of patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

The investigators will perform a prospective multicenter, 2:1 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of AMR in patients with IBS-D diagnosed according to Rome III criteria and the IBS-QOL questionnaire.

The experimental intervention is an infusion of donor feces via gastroscopy. The placebo intervention is an infusion of sterile saline via gastroscopy.

Planned number of patients included in the study: 42 patients Planned per-protocol group: 33 patients
