Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, two-centre, double-blind, parallel-arm, randomised, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the impact of FMT on patients with active Crohn's disease.

Description:

The study will be conducted in two parts. The first part will involve all patients undergoing an optimisation phase, followed by randomisation into either intervention or placebo arms of the induction phase of the study. For patients achieving a pre-determined clinical response threshold at week 8 they will be re-randomised into the maintenance phase of the trial for a further 44 weeks. FMT will be anaerobically prepared, freeze-thawed for administration.
