Copyright © 2024 by The American College of Gastroenterology..

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) prevents recurrent C. difficile infections (rCDI) in IBD. Patients. Bezlotoxumab is also indicated to prevent rCDI. We assess the impact of FMT in combination with bezlotoxumab in patients with IBD and rCDI. We conducted a multicenter randomized placebo-controlled trial. All received a single colonoscopic FMT. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive bezlotoxumab or placebo. Sixty-one patients were enrolled (30 received treatment and 31 placebo. Overall, 5 participants (8%) experienced a CDI recurrence; 4 in the treatment arm, 1 in placebo (13% vs 3%, p=0.15). There was no clear benefit to the combination approach compared to FMT alone.
