Fecal transplant for immune recovery after stem cell transplant
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a fecal transplant (transferring healthy donor bacteria into your gut) can help your immune system recover after a stem cell transplant. It may reduce the risk of infections while your immunity is still low.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are planning to have or have had your first stem cell transplant (using donor cells) with a standard conditioning regimen.
- You can attend follow-up visits and provide samples (like blood or stool).
- For the treatment part (phase 2): at 6 months after transplant, your immune markers (IgA, IgG, IgM) are still low, you do not have severe GVHD, and you have been off antibiotics for at least 2 weeks.
- You are willing to receive a fecal transplant (a procedure that transfers healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into your gut) and sign a separate consent for it.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 transplanting healthy donor stool into the gut can help children and young adults with ongoing digestive issues after a stem cell transplant. It may improve symptoms like diarrhea or the need for feeding tubes.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a processed transplant of gut bacteria) after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant is safe and helpful. Participants may benefit by improving recovery in the gut microbiome during the post-transplant period.
This study tests if a fecal transplant (transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into your gut) can help people with severe gut graft-versus-host disease that hasn't responded to steroids. It's for patients who have had a stem cell transplant and now have ongoing, severe gut symptoms.
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.
