Summary

This phase II trial tests how well fecal microbiome transplantation works to remodel intestinal microbiota for patients with lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) with exposure to high-risk antibiotics who are receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. Fecal microbiome transplantation consists of fecal microbiota from healthy donors with healthy gut microbiota that allows re-population of the patient's microbiome with diverse protective microorganisms. CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Part of the treatment for CAR T therapy involves high doses of chemotherapy. This, along with prior exposure to high strength antibiotics, can damage patient's intestinal microbiota. Giving fecal microbiome transplantation may improve clinical response by repairing intestinal microbiota for patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma who had exposure to high-risk antibiotics.
