FMP30 Donor Stool
FMP30 is manufactured by the non-profit stool bank Openbiome. Each FMP30 filtered donor stool engraftment has approximately 12.5g of stool per 30mL of normal saline. It is homogenized in sterile normal saline.
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) of FMP30 Donor Stool
Three doses of filtered donor stool engraftments homogenized in sterile normal saline (FMP30), obtained from the non-profit stool bank OpenBiome, will be administered via colonoscopy in patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. FMT dosage via colonoscopy may include a lower amount of transplanted stool at the discretion of the study gastroenterologist if there are any peri-procedural safety or technical considerations. Total FMT dose (in milliliters) will be documented.
Observational Control
Subjects, who otherwise satisfy study inclusion criteria based on their MS phenotype, demographics, disease duration and prior use of allowable MS therapies, will be recruited as a comparison observational group to measure stability of stool and serum immunological measures.
