Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 and older with documented Clostridioides difficile infection who are treated within AUH and affiliated hospitals.

Probably not a fit

Some patients may not experience symptom relief or could have complications related to the procedure.

What this trial studies

This observational effort takes place within the Center for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation at Aarhus University Hospital. Patients with confirmed Clostridioides difficile infection are assessed, treated, and monitored as part of an integrated care project across AUH and affiliated hospitals. The study focuses on real-world use of fecal microbiota transplantation to understand safety, feasibility, and potential outcomes in routine clinical practice. No randomization or experimental design is described beyond observation of standard FMT procedures. The lead institution is Aarhus University, with care delivered at Aarhus University Hospital in Aarhus N and partner sites.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved symptoms and resolution of infection following fecal microbiota transplantation.

How similar studies have gone: Previous experiences with FMT for CDI have shown symptom improvement in many patients, though this specific observational setup contributes real-world insights from AUH.
