Official Title: A Phase I/II, Double Blinded, Placebo Controlled, Single-center Study of Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) for the Treatment of Active Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis

Brief Summary: The primary aim of this phase I/II, randomized, placebo controlled study is the assessment of safety and tolerability of universal donor FMT compared to placebo in pediatric and young adult subjects (ages 5 years through 30 years) with active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have previously failed traditional, first-line maintenance therapy (aminosalicylates) or are intolerant to therapy. Secondary objectives include the identification biomarkers in both donor and recipient that may confer a clinical response and to establish whether or not ongoing FMT maintenance therapy is required for maintenance of clinical benefit in pediatric UC.
