The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation compared with placebo in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea (IBS-D) and Mental Health Comorbidity in Young Adults.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Voluntarily sign informed consent, be able to comply with the protocol and be able to carry out related procedures, including the completion of diary during the induction period and throughout the study period.
Age between 18 and 29 years old (including two-end values, based on the date of signing the Master Informed consent), regardless of gender.
IBS-D patients with clinical symptoms meeting the Rome IV definition, that is, the course of disease for at least 6 months, repeated abdominal pain in the past 3 months, an average of at least 1 day per week, combined with two or more of the following conditions: (a) Abdominal pain is related to defecation; (b) Abdominal pain accompanied by changes in the frequency of defecation; (c) Abdominal pain accompanied by changes in fecal trait. When abnormal stool occurred in the last 3 months, the proportion of abnormal stool was >25% for Bristol fecal trait type 6 or 7, and <25% for Bristol fecal trait type 1 or 2;and a Hamilton Depression Scale score: 20-34 and/or a Hamilton Anxiety Scale score: 14-28 were evaluated as depressed or anxious patients;
Colonoscopy has been completed within 12 months before the run-in period. The ileocecal part should be observed during endoscopy, and the ileocecal flap image recording should be included in the report. They may be included if one of the following conditions is met: (i) The colonoscopy report is normal; (ii) Abnormalities reported by colonoscopy, such as hemorrhoids and intestinal polyps (diameter ≤5mm and number ≤3), were determined by the investigator to be eligible for inclusion; (iii) Colonoscopy reported that the diameter of intestinal polyps was >5mm or the number of intestinal polyps was >3; after endoscopic treatment, the diameter of residual intestinal polyps was ≤5mm and the number of intestinal polyps was ≤3, and the investigators determined that they could be included in the group.
Disqualifiers
Patients with constipated, mixed and amorphous IBS.
Patients with organic gastrointestinal diseases were excluded from the following conditions: superficial gastritis, grade I erosive gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis found by endoscopy but judged by the investigator to be eligible for admission (for example, no mucosal erosion or bleeding under endoscopy, and no abdominal distension, epigastric pain, acid reflux and other symptoms).
Parenteral diseases of the digestive system such as tuberculous peritonitis, pancreatitis, cirrhosis, and biliary tract diseases are present, except for fatty liver disease that has not progressed to hepatitis, and gallstones that lack related symptoms.
Known to have lactose intolerance and celiac disease.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage of Patients Who Were Composite Weekly Responders
A patient is categorized as a composite weekly responder if the patient achieved the prespecified response displayed in the following for at least 50% of the weeks during the interval from weeks 1-12. Abdominal pain response: a decrease in the weekly average of worst abdominal pain (as measured by the 11-point NRS-scale) in the past 24 hours score of at least 30% compared with baseline. Stool consistency response: a 50% or greater reduction in the number of days per week with at least one stool that has a consistency of Type 6 or 7 (as measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale) compared with baseline.
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v5.0
The number of participants with adverse events both severe and non-severe, assessed for severity based on the 5-grade criteria set by the NCI CTCAE version 5.0.
