Summary

NCT02108821

Primary goal:

-To determine the safety of fecal transplant by colonoscopy and retention enemas for induction followed by maintenance retention fecal vs. placebo enemas in children and young adults with uncomplicated mild-moderately active Crohn's disease.

Secondary goals:

* Assess efficacy of this induction regimen followed by maintenance fecal or placebo transplants in responders. The efficacy will be assessed by clinical evaluation and fecal calprotectin that is a non-invasive biomarker.
* Correlate subject's baseline microbiome findings with likelihood for response to FMT induction therapy.
* Follow the chronological microbiome shifts after transplant and correlate with response using clinical and calprotectin assessment in the two groups.

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation via colonoscopy for the first transplant in all subjects. This will be followed by 2 fecal enema transplants for all subjects 7 days (+/- 3 days) after colonoscopy. All subjects will be assessed 1.5 months (+/- 2 weeks) after colonoscopy. The subjects who are deemed responders based on a drop in PCDAI=12.5 or higher will be randomized to receive fecal or placebo enemas at 1 monthly (+/- 2 weeks) enemas at 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 months after colonoscopy. All subjects will be assessed at 4.5 and 6 months (+/- 2 weeks) following colonoscopy. The study will be completed at 6 months (+/- 2 weeks) following colonoscopy.
