Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy of antibiotic pretreatment on the efficacy of WMT in the treatment of chronic constipation in adults: a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study


Description:

All included in the standard but do not accord with standard of any rule out subjects will be included in this study. Demographic characteristics, complete spontaneous bowel movements(CSBM), Constipation assessment scale (CAS), Patient-Assessment of Constipation Quality Of Life(PAC-QOL) and clinical outcomes were collected. After the treatment, the efficacy and safety were evaluated during the follow-up period.

Use of anti-infective drugs (antibiotics, antifungal, antiviral) within 14 days before enrollment, or need anti-infective treatment at enrollment evaluation; 17. Drugs and supplements that affect gastrointestinal motility and function cannot be stopped during the study, including but not limited to: antibiotics such as erythromycin; Drugs that modulate the intestinal microecology, such as probiotics such as Bifidobacterium; The parasympathetic nerve inhibitors, some scopolamine and atropine, belladonna, etc; Muscle relaxants, such as succinylcholine; Antidiarrheal agents such as loperamide, smecta; Opioid preparations; Drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion; 18. Pregnant or lactating women, or refusing to use an effective contraceptive method within 3 months after the last dose of treatment; 19. 3 months prior to dosing involved in drug interventional clinical trials; 20. Suffering from malignant tumors; 21. There were other circumstances that the investigator considered inappropriate for participating in the study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Response rate of complete spontaneous bowel movements(CSBM) Overall CSBM respondents defined in the study of drug treatment in patients with the number of weeks of at least 50% of the time meet the CSBM weeks response week (4/8). Response was defined as a CSBM of at least three times in the week and an increase of at least one CSBM from baseline. CSBM was defined as the number of voluntary bowel movements with complete defecation sensation without taking remedial laxatives or manual assistance. One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT
Primary The extent of change observed in Constipation assessment scale (CAS) of participants The CAS consisted of 8 items, including abdominal distension, changes in exhaust volume, decreased frequency of defecation, watery stool, rectal obstruction or pressure, rectal pain during defecation, thinness of stool, and unsuccessful defecation. Each item was scored from 0 to 2 according to the severity of symptoms. Each item score was summed, with 0 as no constipation and 16 as the most severe constipation. One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT
Primary The extent of change observed in Patient-Assessment of Constipation Quality Of Life(PAC-QOL)of participants The Constipation Quality of Life Scale (PAC-QOL) contains 28 items, including physical discomfort, anxiety, psychosocial discomfort, and satisfaction. It reflects the impact of constipation on daily life in the past two weeks. One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT
Secondary The extent of change observed in stool properties of participants Bristol stool form scale(BSFS) was used, which can be divided into seven types. One-week post-WMT
Secondary Rate of Adverse Events The rate of adverse events after antibiotic pretreatment One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT
