Summary

This study looks at whether giving fiber supplements to patients undergoing donor stem cell transplants is practical and well-tolerated. The goal is to see if fiber can support nutrition and gut health after the harsh effects of chemotherapy and radiation. The trial will enroll 40 adults and track how many days they can take at least 10 or 25 grams of fiber.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: fiber supplement (Kate Farms 1.0 formula)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that fiber supplements are a practical way to support gut health and nutrition in stem cell transplant patients.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants. It is not designed to prove any health benefits, only whether patients can tolerate the fiber.
