How diet carbs affect GVHD after bone marrow transplant
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain types of gut carbohydrates (called FODMAPs) are linked to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a bone marrow transplant. It may help doctors understand how diet could influence symptoms and outcomes for people with specific blood cancers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one of these blood conditions: AML, ALL, MDS, or multiple myeloma (MM)
- You are being treated with a bone marrow transplant
- Your transplanted marrow has successfully started working (“engrafted”)
- You do not have a significant gastrointestinal (stomach/intestine) disease
- Your age is between 10 and 60 years old
- You did not take probiotics or prebiotics before joining the study

This study looks at immune cells in your blood and in tissues affected by chronic graft-versus-host disease (a condition where donor cells attack your body) after a stem cell transplant. By analyzing samples, researchers hope to better understand this condition and improve future treatments.
This study tests whether a fecal transplant (FMT) can help treat gut graft-versus-host disease (gut GVHD), a condition where donated immune cells attack the intestines. If you have gut GVHD and meet age requirements, you may be eligible to receive this treatment in the trial.
This trial studies a treatment made from donor gut microbes to help prevent a common complication after a transplant called acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). It may help by improving the balance and variety of gut bacteria during recovery after haploidentical transplant.
This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a procedure that puts healthy donor bacteria into your gut) combined with a dietary fiber supplement can help treat gut graft-versus-host disease, a common complication after a stem cell transplant. It may help reduce diarrhea and other gut symptoms.
This early-phase study tests a prebiotic (galacto-oligosaccharide) to see if it can lower or prevent gut inflammation caused by acute graft-versus-host disease (acute GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. If you’re scheduled for an allogeneic transplant, participating may help researchers find safer ways to protect your gut.
This study tests whether restoring healthy gut bacteria using a fecal microbiota transplant can improve steroid-refractory gut graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) after stem cell transplant. If your gut symptoms are your first episode and your stool bacteria diversity is low, this trial may be an option worth screening for.
