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 if washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) can help solid organ transplant recipients who develop gut symptoms, infections, or rejection after their transplant. WMT may restore a healthy balance of gut bacteria to improve these problems.
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 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 study tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) – transferring healthy gut bacteria via capsules – can help prevent or ease digestive side effects (like diarrhea or constipation) caused by cancer treatment for extrapulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms. If you are experiencing such symptoms, this approach might improve your quality of life during treatment.
This study tests whether transferring stool bacteria (a fecal microbiota transplant) can improve “radiation enteritis,” a bowel problem that happens after radiation treatment. It may help restore gut bacteria and reduce symptoms after your radiation therapy.
