Brief Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy of antibiotic pretreatment on the efficacy of WMT in the treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome in adults: a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study

Conditions

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Keywords

Irritable bowel syndrome; washed microbiota transplantation; antibiotic pretreatment; randomized controlled trial; transendoscopic enteral tube

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scales（GSRS）

  Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) included 5 items: abdominal pain (3 items), reflux (2 items), dyspepsia (4 items), diarrhea (3 items) and constipation (3 items). The severity of each symptom was assessed using a 4-point Likert scale, with a score of 0 indicating no symptoms and a score of 3 indicating very severe symptoms.

  One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT

• IBS Symptom Severity Scaleand(IBS-SSS)

  IBS symptom severity scale (IBS-SSS) consists of five items, which assess the severity of abdominal pain, the frequency of abdominal pain, the degree of abdominal distention and discomfort, the satisfaction of bowel habit and behavior, and the impact of intestinal symptoms on life. Each item was divided into 5 levels, increasing by 20 points, and the total score was 500 points. A score of 75 to 175 is mild, 176 to 300 is moderate, and more than 300 is severe.

  One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index（PSQI）

  One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT

• Self-rating Anxiety Scale（SAS）

  One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT

• Self-rating Depression Scale（SDS）

  One-week, Four-week and Eight-week post-WMT

You may qualify if:

• Voluntarily signed the informed consent, age 18 years old or more, men and women all can;
• According to the Roman IV standard diagnosis of IBS: recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort, weekly attacks within the past 3 months at least 3 d, accompanied by the following two and two or more:
• (1) associated with defecation; (2) changes in defecation frequency; (3) changes in stool characteristics (appearance).
• The following symptoms were not included in the diagnostic criteria but supported the diagnosis: (1) abnormal bowel frequency: bowel movements less than 3 times per week or more than 3 times per day; (2) the excrement characters and abnormal: dry bulb dung or hard dung, or paste dung/dilute waste water; (3) bowel effort; (4) Defecation urgency, endless defecation, mucus excretion and abdominal distension.
• \. The subjects or their legal representatives gave informed consent, fully understood the purpose of the study, were able to communicate well with the researchers, and understood and complied with the requirements of the study.

You may not qualify if:

• The patient was accompanied by other mental disorders besides anxiety and depression.
• Combined with the results of colonoscopy within the past 24 months, the patient has an organic lesion of the digestive tract (e.g., tumor, inflammation, anal fissure, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, intestinal adhesion, intestinal tuberculosis, etc.).
• Has a history of major surgery within 3 months or a history of severetrauma, and recovery is not completely;
• \. There are contraindications to colonic transendoscopic intestinal tubeimplantation, such as severe intestinal stenosis, obstruction, deep ulcer,and high risk of operation perforation; Severe ulcers or a large numberof pseudopolyps exist in the fixed area of titanium clips, which are notsuitable for fixation. The subjects' behavior was seriously uncontrolled.
• \. Any of the following abnormalities in cardiac function and performance:a. According to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiacfunction classification, cardiac function grade # or above;b. new onset myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoriswithin 6 months;c. ECG showed QTc prolongation (QTc≥ 450ms in men and≥470ms in women);d. Drug-refractory atrial arrhythmias and drug-refractory ventriculararrhythmias (including grade 2 or higher atrioventricular block).
• \. Patients with poor lung function that is considered by the investigatorto have an impact on the study treatment, such as patients with acuteexacerbation of COPD or patients requiring long-term use of oral orintravenous steroids for control (except inhalers/sprays); 9. No control autoimmune disease and/or need long-term use of hormone(except local external use sex); 10. Patients with metabolic diseases and poorly controlled by drugs(such as thyroid dysfunction), or patients with metabolic diseases accompanied by gastrointestinal function complications (such as gastrointestinal autonomic nerve dysfunction, diabetic gastroparesis,etc.) 11. Suffering from reproductive system diseases (including but not limited toovarian cysts, endometriosis, primary dysmenorrhea, etc.) that may lead to abdominal pain; 12. Significant laboratory abnormalities that, in the judgment of theinvestigator, may affect the safety of the subjects or the completion ofthe clinical study, including:A) the hemoglobin \< 100 g/L; B) Serum creatinine ≥1.5 times theupper limit of normal (ULN) C) abnormal liver function, defined asAST\>1.5×ULN and/or ALT\>1.5×ULN and/or total bilirubin \>1.5×ULN;D) blood clotting function: PLT acuities were 80 x 109 / L, APTT \> 1.5 xULN, PT \> 1.5 x ULN, INR \> 1.5 x ULN; E) abnormal results or defecateoccult blood stool and has prompted the clinical significance of thegastrointestinal tract.
