Efficacy and Safety of Proteolytic Activity-Guided Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (PRAGMAT Trial)
The purpose of this study is to learn the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using stool from a donor with low proteolytic activity and containing the bacteria Alistipes putredinis in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and high proteolytic activity. Proteolytic activity is the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids.

Conditions
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Diarrhea
Interventions
- Donor Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
- Autologous Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
Primary outcomes
- Percentage of responders — 12 weeks
Number of subjects receiving the donor fecal microbiota transplantation identified as a responder defined as a decrease of ≥50 points in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Score (IBS-SSS) from baseline. The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Score scale has a possible range of scores from 0-500. Mild cases are classified as a score of 75-175, moderate cases are classified as a score of 175-300, and severe cases are classified as a score of \>300.
