Brief Title: Fecal Microbiota Transplant and Re-introduction of Anti-PD-1 Therapy (Pembrolizumab or Nivolumab) for the Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in Anti-PD-1 Non-responders
Official Title: Pilot Trial of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Re-Introduction of Anti-PD-1 Therapy in dMMR Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Anti-PD-1 Non-Responders
Study ID: NCT04729322
Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies the effect of fecal microbiota transplant and re-introduction of anti-PD-1 therapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) in treating anti-PD-1 non-responders with colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Fecal microbiota transplants contain the normal bacteria and viruses found in fecal (stool) material. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pembrolizumab or nivolumab with fecal microbiota transplants may help to control the disease.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab or nivolumab in conjunction with fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) from PD-1 responding mismatch-repair deficiency (dMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC) patients for treatment of PD-1 non-responding dMMR CRC patient.
