Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Treating Immune-Checkpoint Inhibitor Induced-Diarrhea or Colitis in Genitourinary Cancer Patients

Summary

This trial studies how well fecal microbiota transplantation works in treating diarrhea or colitis (inflammation of the intestines) that is caused by certain types of medications (called immune-checkpoint inhibitors) in patients with genitourinary cancer. Fecal microbiota transplantation may effectively reduce the incidence of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced diarrhea/colitis.

Full Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the safety and tolerability of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT).

II. To assess the efficacy of FMT for clinical remission/response of immune-related diarrhea/colitis.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To measure the recurrence rate after achieving clinical remission/response of immune-related diarrhea/colitis.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the efficacy of FMT to achieve endoscopic remission of immune-related diarrhea/colitis.

II. To assess the efficacy of FMT to achieve histological remission of immune-related diarrhea/colitis.

III. To assess the efficacy of FMT on recurrence of immune-related diarrhea/colitis after resumption of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI).

IV. To assess immunological, molecular and microbiome changes in tissue/blood/stool.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive loperamide orally (PO). After 4 hours, patients undergo FMT via colonoscopy over 15-30 minutes.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 2, 4, and 8 weeks, and then at 3 months.

No concern for active concomitant GI infection at the time of initiation of protocol therapy as confirmed by stool tests or as per the treating physician based on clinical presentation
Patient has been cleared for enrollment by Infectious Diseases consultant or treating physician if positive infection workup or screening tests (e.g. lifelong positive T-spot due to BCG inoculation, chronic colonization) prior to initiation of protocol therapy
Ability to understand and willingness to sign an informed consent form
Life expectancy > 6 months

Exclusion Criteria

Age younger than 18 years

History of inflammatory bowel disease, and/or radiation enteritis or colitis with active disease status at the time of study treatment initiation
Pregnant and breastfeeding women
Women who have positive urine or serum pregnancy test or refuse to do pregnancy test unless last menstrual cycle was > 1 year prior to consent and/ or clear documentation states that patient is peri- or post-menopausal or there has been recent supporting objective evidence of 'no pregnancy' status (e.g. blood or imaging) within 30 days prior to date of study treatment
Immunosuppressive treatment at onset of ICPI-induced diarrhea/colitis
Any medical conditions (e.g. severe heart failure, brain hemorrhage, septic shock, etc.) that are high risk for colonoscopy procedure by the assessment of the study PI or Co-PIs.
Patients who develop concurrent non-GI toxicity at the time of study treatment
