Summary
The investigators postulate that by determining a patient's baseline microbiome and manipulating it through fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) may improve response rates to vedolizumab in Crohn's disease (CD) patients.
Primary objective: To determine whether manipulation of gut microbiome by FMT pre vedolizumab treatment is safe and results in higher remission rates in CD patients.
Study design: A randomized double blinded controlled clinical trial. Study population:CD patients 18-65 YO, men and women, with mild-moderately active disease determined by the Harvey-Bradshaw index (HBI) of 5HBI15, who were found eligible to commence treatment with vedolizumab.
Study procedure: Study participants will receive FMT within a week prior to first vedolizumab infusion.
All patients will be followed for 46 weeks in 8 visits at the IBD clinic in the GI department of the Tel Aviv Medical Center.
Description
Study design: A randomized double blinded controlled clinical trial.
Study population:
CD patients 18-65 YO, men and women, with mild-moderately active disease determined by the Harvey-Bradshaw index (HBI) of 5HBI15, who were found eligible to commence treatment with vedolizumab (screened for tuberculosis and hepatitis B and without an active infection or an abscess) will be enrolled in the study.
Follow-up: All patients will be followed by physician assessment, sample collection, anthropometric measurements and questionnaires during the scheduled visits at weeks 2, 6, 14, 22, and at week 46, on which they will undergo a colonoscopic examination as part of their regular clinical followup.
Side effects (SE): will be monitored by phone, 3 days post intervention and at vedolizumab infusion visits at weeks 2 and 6. Also, patients will receive direct contact details of both the study coordinator and the study PI.
