Brief Summary:
This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in gastrointestinal (GI) related graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Stool for FMT will be prepared from pre-allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT) period. This strategy might offer a novel and safe therapeutic approach for these patients, who suffer from high disease related morbidity and mortality and are refractory to multiple treatments.
Detailed Description:
All candidates for Allo-SCT at BMT unit in RHCC will be screened for study inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seven to fourteen days prior to Allo-SCT (before initiation of SCT related antimicrobials), all consenting patients will supply stool sample (first stool sample), which will serve as the autologous FMT sample, and clinical data will be collected. Patients who will develop GI related GVHD will be asked to supply another stool sample 7±2 days after the appearance of GVHD related symptoms (second stool sample). Clinical and laboratory data will be collected. Another stool sample will be collected 7-14 following autologous FMT (third stool sample), and clinical data and outcome will be documented. Day 1 of the study will be defined as day of Allo-SCT, and follow up period is 6 months. Complementary data will be collected from the electronic medical records.
