Fecal Transplant for Hepatic Encephalopathy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can reverse hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in cirrhotic patients who continue to have breakthrough episodes of HE despite maintenance therapy with lactulose and/or rifaximin or metronidazole.

Clinical Trial Description

Subjects receive FMT from a single donor by colonoscopy at week 0 and by enema at weeks 1-4. HE is measured by Inhibitory Control Test (ICT) and Stroop test as well as fasting serum ammonia levels. ;
