Fecal transplant for advanced stomach cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a fecal transplant (a stool donation from a healthy person) can help patients with advanced stomach cancer respond better to treatment. If you qualify, you would receive the transplant through a colonoscopy, possibly along with other standard therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a combination of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), chemotherapy (SOX), and an immunotherapy drug (Sintilimab) as a first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
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 study tests a combination of fecal microbiota transplant, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (sintilimab) for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves treatment outcomes.
This trial tests whether fecal transplants (putting healthy donor bacteria into your gut) can help with side effects like diarrhea, constipation, or nausea caused by cancer treatments. It is for people with advanced gastrointestinal cancer who are about to start their fourth round of chemo or targeted therapy.
This trial tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria (called a fecal microbiota transplant, or FMT) can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight and muscle. The goal is to see if it improves appetite and helps you maintain strength.
This trial tests whether giving healthy gut bacteria can help standard immune treatment work better for advanced bowel cancer that has not responded to initial therapies.
