Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

fecal microbiota transplantation

Arm Description

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Comparison of microbiome pre and post transplant
We will analyze and compare the microbiome (bacterial populations) present pre- and post- transplant of the recipient. We will also analyze the microbiome of the donor and compare it to the donor microbiome pre- and post-FMT.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Adverse event frequency
Number of patients with reporting adverse events with type and severity of adverse events reported
Tolerance of procedure
Tolerability of colonoscopic FMT on Day 0 and Day 7 assessed by Tolerability Questionnaire

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The investigators are conducting an open-label study of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for adult patients with mildly-moderately active ulcerative colitis. In this pilot study the investigators will evaluate the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of a single application of FMT delivered colonoscopically. The investigators will also characterize the impact of FMT on the microbiota of the recipient and determine if it correlates with the microbiota from the FMT donor.
