Autologous FMT · Not specified
About this trial
This is a multicentric, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will consist of two consecutive phases: 1. First phase: faecal samples will be collected in patients diagnosed with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treated with nintedanib. 2. Second phase: double-blind, randomised, clinical trial of autologous faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) vs placebo in Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients who will experience nintedanib-induced diarrhea within 8 weeks of baseline visit. Follow-up visits will be scheduled at 1, 4 and 12 weeks after randomization. The main aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of FMT in ameliorating diarrhea experienced by patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treated with nintedanib.
