Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Study subject: (1) Aged 18 years or older at informed consent. (2) Patient who has gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, or constipation) caused by or as a result of treatment for the underlying disease, and whose symptoms persist for more than 10 days despite standard treatment. (3) Patient with dysbiosis in metagenomic analysis of the intestinal microbiota. (4) Patient with written consent to participate in this study from the patient. Donor: (1) Aged 18-70 years (If possible, relatives of the study subject). (2) Parson without dysbiosis in metagenomic analysis of the intestinal microbiota. (3) If the study subject has a food allergy, person who is possible not to consume the food for at least 5 days before stool collection. (4) Person with written consent from the person regarding the implementation of interview and various tests specified in this study and the provision of stool.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Study subject: (1) Patient with shock or who using catecholamines. (2) Patient with severe immunodeficiency <500 / microL of neutrophils. (3) Patient who cannot expect a prognosis of 3 months or more even if gastrointestinal symptoms have subsided. (4) Patient with small bowel stoma. (5) Patient who have had FMT within the past year from the date of consent. (6) Patient with severe underlying inflammatory bowel disease (severe according to the clinical severity classification for ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease activity index of 451 or more points for Crohn's disease) (7) Pregnant woman, woman who may be pregnant, woman who wish to become pregnant between the time consent is obtained and the time FMT is performed, and woman who are unable to agree on an appropriate method of contraception (intrauterine device, pessary or partner compliance with condom use) (8) Patient with severe food allergies. (9) Patient who are judged by the investigator to be inappropriate as research subjects for other reasons. Donor: (1) Person suspected to have infection by interviewing and screening for blood and stool tests, or who have disease that should be excluded. Excluded diseases: inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic diarrhea, severe constipation, malignant tumor under treatment, autoimmune disease, severe obesity (BMI 35 or more), Parkinson's disease, autism, depression, Creutzfeldt-Jakob's disease. For cytomegalovirus and EB virus, when the study subject is not infected, if the donor's screening test result is positive, it is non-eligible. (2) Parson who are judged by the investigator to be inappropriate as doner for other reasons.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change in overall gastrointestinal symptoms at Day 28 of the first dose (FMT or saline) from baseline (Day-7 to Day 0)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
(1) Change in individual gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, constipation) at Day 28 of the first dose from baseline (2) Change in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Scale at Day 28 of the first dose from baseline (3) Change in intestinal microbiota at Day 28 of the first dose from baseline (4) Adverse events (5) Change in quality of life at Day 28 of the first dose from baseline (6) Change in psychiatric symptoms (depression and anxiety) at Day 28 of the first dose from baseline (7) Assessment of stratification by background disease (enteritis or non-enteritis) (8) Change in clinical symptoms (change in clinical score, change in biomarkers) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
