Summary

This study tests whether giving patients processed fecal material (fecal microbiota transplantation) after a stem cell transplant can prevent severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication where donor cells attack the patient's body. The trial involves 138 adults receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancers or other blood disorders. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the fecal transplant or a placebo, and researchers track who develops severe GVHD over time.
