NCT04935684

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) efficacy in the prevention of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) complications and particularly Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD). The hypothesis of this study is that allogeneic FMT may improve outcomes of these patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Graft-versus-host disease and Relapse-Free Survival (GRFS) rate after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

    GRFS is a composite endpoint of GvHD-free/relapse-free survival in which events include grade II-IV acute GvHD, moderate and severe chronic GvHD, relapse, or death in the first year post-HSCT. GRFS will be measured at one year after allo-HSCT and compared between both groups of patients.

    at Day 360 after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Secondary Outcomes (20)

  • Overall survival

    At Day 360 and Day 720 after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

  • Progression-free survival

    At Day 360 and Day 720 after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

  • Haematopoietic reconstitution

    At the time of haematopoietic reconstitution

  • Engraftment rates

    At Day 30, Day 60, Day 90, Day 180, Day 360 and Day 720 after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantationday

  • Cumulative incidence of acute GvHD

    At Day 360 after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

  • +15 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Group 1: Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized in the "FMT group" will received FMT. FMT product will be made by the the pharmacy of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital from stools of healthy volunteer donors within 6 hours after defecation in order to preserve the viability of the bacteria. The preparation will be standardized: 50g aliquots will be prepared and diluted in 250mL of 0.9% NaCl containing 10% glycerol, until a homogeneous suspension is obtained. The preparation will be rapidly frozen at -80°C until use, with a maximum shelf life of 18 months.

Drug: Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Group 2: no intervention

NO INTERVENTION

The comparator group will be constituted by patients randomized in the "no FMT" group. For ethical reasons, these patients will not receive any FMT and therefore no enema or colic preparation. No placebo will be administered. Prophylactic anti-infective treatments can be introduced at any time.

Interventions

Patients randomized in the "FMT group" will received FMT within 4 weeks following neutrophils recovery after the allo-HSCT procedure. The stool transplant will be done by enema. The day before FMT, patient will undergo bowel cleansing by ingestion of two liters of polyethylene glycol solution. The day of FMT, a colon cleanse enema will be performed in the morning and FMT will be delivered around two hours after the cleanse enema. This colic preparation is essential to optimize the results of FMT. The enema (50g of stools diluted in 250mL of NaCl 0.9%) will be performed by a qualified member of the study team (nurse) by using a rectal cannula (within 6 hours of thawing). The enema will have to be kept by the patient for as long as possible and at least 30 minutes.

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient aged 18 or over
