First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving a fecal microbiota transplant (healthy bacteria from stool) along with re-starting immunotherapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) can help shrink tumors in people with advanced colorectal cancer that did not respond to immunotherapy alone. The trial includes 15 adults with mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal or small intestinal cancer. The goal is to see if changing the gut bacteria can make the immune therapy work better.
