About this study
Official title: Manipulation of the Enteral Microbiome by Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Among Adult Patients With Malignant Hematological Diseases
In Hungary - in comparison to other member states of the European Union - about 75000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed annually, from which approximately 4500-5000 patients suffer from so-called malignant hematological diseases. This disease group includes various leukemias (blood cancers) and lymphomas (lymph node cancers). Chemotherapy for patients with malignant hematological diseases is particularly difficult to bear, as it affects the entire body, including the "good" gut bacteria living inside, and recovery can take several years. Due to the decrease of the "good" gut bacteria during treatment, patients are more prone to acquiring various difficult-to-treat infections, which can lead to deterioration of quality of life, prolonged hospitalization, and in the worst cases, death. The method outlined in this research plan is called fecal microbiota transplantation, during which stool from a healthy person is introduced into the body of the sick patient. The "good" gut bacteria present in the stool then restore the patient's entire gut flora (the process is somewhat similar to the use of probiotics available on the market, but it is a much more effective method). This research aims to assess the success of fecal microbiota transplantation in adults with malignant hematological diseases over a long-term follow-up period, thus contributing to the restoration of their acceptable quality of life.
Read the detailed description
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is currently a widely accepted method of manipulating enteric microbiome, and is an internationally recommended procedure in the treatment for Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile (C. difficile) infection. The goal of FMT is to restore physiological gut microbiome through natural competition, by administering a stool graft harvested from a healthy person. FMT not only eliminates C. difficile-induced colitis, but also colonization of multidrug-resistant bacterial/fungal species, and certain types of intestinal epithelial damage occuring in some medical conditions. In recent years due to pleiotropic effects of FMT, scientific interest has turned towards adult patients with malignant hematological diseases, since all of the pathological conditions mentioned earlier occur during clinical care in this population, due to detrimental effects of immuno-chemotherapy. Based on promising preliminary results, FMT could be a successful, easily implementable intervention for these patients in the future.
Therefore, the aim of this study is to perform FMTs in four indication groups among adult patients with malignant hematological diseases treated at South Pest Central Hospital - National Institute of Hematology and Infectious Diseases (Budapest, Hungary), followed by a 180-day follow-up period, during which standardized clinical, laboratory, imaging, and microbiological data are collected. In addition, a high-resolution microbiome analys to monitor microbiological changes of recipient pre-/post-FMT blood and stool samples is planned, in collaboration with Departmental Group of Infectious Diseases and Institute of Medical Microbiology of Semmelweis University (Budapest, Hungary).
This study aims to assess both the bacterial and fungal components of the enteric microbiome in adult patients receiving routine clinical care for malignant hematological diseases, and to explore the potential of manipulating the microbiome through fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). The hypothesis is that microbiome manipulation with FMT in these patients may induce a successful and sustained response by restoring the physiological intestinal microbiome, a premise that this long-term, comprehensive clinical and microbiological follow-up study seeks to support.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Fecal Microbial TransplantationBiological
The technical implementation of FMT procedure is consistent with the methodological letter issued by the National Public Health Center of Hungary. FMT is performed via nasogastric tube with suspended fresh stool graft or fecal filtrate, or lyophilised stool capsules, obtained and prepared from a pre-selected stool donor. Following FMT, the patient is observed for 24 hours at our center. The process is supervised and performed by the lead researcher.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| FMT | Experimental | Patients receiving fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for different clinical reasons Receives: Biological: Fecal Microbial Transplantation |
| non-FMT | No intervention | Patients not receiving fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Disease activity
Disease activity: hematological remission vs. relapse, GvHD activity. Disease activity of the malignant hematological underlying disease (hematological remission vs. relapse) is defined according to the published methodological recommendations by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the European Hematology Association (or the American Society of Hematology, if neither has specific guidance), specifically for each disease. GvHD activity is defined according to the published methodological recommendations of the European Bone Marrow Transplantation Society.
Measured: On Day 7, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 180, since the intervention, compared to baseline and controls
Secondary outcomes (4)
Reducibility of applied immunosuppressive pharmacotherapy
Reducibility of applied immunosuppressive pharmacotherapy. The reducibility of immunosuppressive and antimicrobial pharmacotherapy is determined based on the number of active substances and changes in dose intensity.
Measured: On Day 7, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 180, since the intervention, compared to baseline and controls
Reducibility of applied antimicrobial pharmacotherapy
Reducibility of applied antimicrobial pharmacotherapy. The reducibility of immunosuppressive and antimicrobial pharmacotherapy is determined based on the number of active substances and changes in dose intensity.
Measured: On Day 7, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 180, since the intervention, compared to baseline and controls
Survival
Survival: total and progression-free survival. Total survival: the patient does not die during the follow-up period. Progression-free survival: during the follow-up period, the stage of the malignant hematological underlying disease documented at enrollment does not change or improves (partial or complete hematological remission occurs), and the patient does not die. The activity of the malignant hematological underlying disease is defined according to the published methodological recommendations by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the European Hematology Association (or the American Society of Hematology, if neither has specific guidance), specifically for each disease.
Measured: On Day 7, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 180, since the intervention, compared controls
Clinical cure of C. difficile infection
Clinical cure of C. difficile infection: we apply the guidelines of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases to define clinical cure
Measured: On Day 7, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 180, since the intervention, compared to baseline and controls

- Eligible patients for inclusion are stratified into different interventional subgroups based on four differenc clinical indications for FMT as intervention: 1. patient group: elimination of documented MDR colonization, 2. patient group: treatment of active C. difficile infection, 3. patient group: enteral microbiome restoration following autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, 4. patient group: treatment of corticosteroid-refractory acute gastrointestinal GvHD (see later). Control groups not receiving FMT as intervention are selected either: 1) from patients who possess the same clinical severity/stage and clinical indication for FMT, but do not agree to participate in the study or not eligible for technical reasons, or 2) randomly selected from patients without malignant hematological diseases and are hospitalized at our center. Patient recruitment is conducted consecutively, and a 1:2 ratio for case-control matching is followed during inclusion.
