Brief Summary

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

This study is a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FMT in patients with moderate to severe acute pancreatitis.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a single center, randomized controlled trial. After the start of the study, 80 patients with acute moderate to severe acute pancreatitis were randomly selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into an intervention group (n=40) and a control group (n=40) to explore the safety and efficacy of FMT in preventing late complications of acute moderate to severe acute pancreatitis.

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo

Physiological saline placebo will be injected through a nasojejunal nutrition tube once a day for five days.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Physiological saline placebo will be injected through a nasojejunal nutrition tube once a day for five days.

FMT

FMT bacterial solution will be injected through a nasojejunal nutrition tube once a day for five days.

After intestinal preparation (via nasal feeding of inulin or oligofructose 24 hours before FMT), the subjects underwent 5-6 consecutive FMT treatments (injecting 100ml of standard bacterial solution 1/d into the nasojejunal nutrition tube, with a minimum of 2.5 \* 1012 CFU of viable cells per 50mL of bacterial solution).

FMT intervention can be performed when the subject's intestinal function is restored and SIRS indicators are significantly relieved compared to before.

During the research period, long-term use of probiotics, antibiotics, and other foods and drugs that interfere with and damage gut microbiota is prohibited. Subjects need to be informed in advance before taking any medication.

All subjects need to complete relevant examinations before enrollment. Conduct a comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation during treatment, after treatment, and one week after treatment.
