Investigation of Fecal Microbiota Transplant in Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction Patients
China10 participantsStarted 2018-01-01
Plain-language summary
Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction (CIPO) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder that primarily affects the movement of the intestines, leading to symptoms that resemble a true bowel obstruction but without a physical blockage. This condition is characterized by impaired motility of the gastrointestinal tract, which can result in severe symptoms and complications. In previous studies, the investigator found that sequential microbiota transplantation therapy can improve clinical symptoms of chronic pseudo-obstruction. Building on this foundation, the current study further investigates the effects of sequential interventions involving intestinal cleansing, small intestine bacterial treatment, fecal microbiota transplantation, and nutritional therapy on the short-term and long-term clinical symptom improvement in patients. Additionally, the investigator aim to elucidate the changes in gut microbiota phenotypes before and after treatment.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
