Fecal microbiota transplant for gut side effects after cancer treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called “washed microbiota transplant,” which transfers healthy gut bacteria to help relieve intestinal problems that started after cancer therapy. You might benefit if you’re an adult with certain ongoing stomach or bowel symptoms after standard cancer treatment, and your body is stable enough for the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You have been diagnosed with cancer and now have bowel or stomach symptoms after cancer treatment
- Your symptoms started after standard cancer treatments like chemo, radiation, immunotherapy, or surgery
- You are expected to live at least 3 more months and your vital signs are stable
- You are willing and able to undergo the required scope tests (gastroscopy and/or colonoscopy)
- You have not used antibiotics, probiotics, or acid-suppressing medicines (like PPIs) in the past week

This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (Washed Microbiota Transplantation, or WMT) can help people who have gut problems like diarrhea, constipation, or infection after receiving a solid organ transplant. It aims to restore healthy gut bacteria.
This trial tests a treatment called washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), which involves giving healthy gut bacteria to patients who have had an organ transplant and are experiencing gut problems, infections, or rejection. The goal is to see if this can help improve their symptoms and overall health.
This trial tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor to patients can help heal severe intestinal damage that occurs after bone marrow or stem cell transplants. The goal is to reduce pain, inflammation, and other complications from this serious side effect.
This study tests whether giving patients healthy donor stool bacteria (fecal microbiota transplantation) can reduce or prevent nausea, diarrhea, and other stomach or bowel problems caused by cancer treatment. It is for people with extrapulmonary neuroendocrine tumors who have had gastrointestinal side effects during their first three treatment cycles.
This trial tests whether “washed microbiota transplant” (a treatment using processed gut bacteria) can improve malnutrition in adults who developed it after certain upper gut surgeries. It may help by restoring helpful gut bacteria, but you must meet several medical and safety checks.
This trial tests a treatment called washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), which aims to restore healthy gut bacteria to help reduce chronic diarrhea. WMT involves processing donated stool and delivering it to the patient's gut, and it may offer a new option for people who haven't found relief from other treatments.
