Summary

This study tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) – taking donor gut bacteria in capsules – can prevent or reduce gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea caused by chemotherapy or targeted therapy. It involves 90 adults with advanced (Stage IV) gastrointestinal cancers who are already on treatment. Researchers will track symptom changes after FMT given before cycles 4, 6, and 8 of their cancer therapy.
