An Open-Label, Pilot Clinical Trial To Test The Safety And Feasibility Of A Suspension of Freeze-dried Microbiota In Patients Undergoing Colon Resection

• Status: RECRUITING
• Trial end date: 2027-02-18

Summary

This Phase 1 pilot clinical trial that will evaluate the initial safety and feasibility of orally administered preparation of fecal microbiota (MTP-101P) in patients undergoing colon resection. We plan to enroll male and female patients, ages 18-75, diagnosed with colon polyps or early (stage I or II) colorectal cancer or medically refractory diverticulitis. We will recruit 40 patients total to receive the investigational product. This trial will inform development of future trials in treatment of colon and rectal surgery. Active drug is composed of highly purified, freeze-dried, fecal microbiota from healthy donors. This study will also allow for limited evaluation of pharmacokinetics in terms of donor microbiota engraftment. The exploratory objective is to evaluate engraftment of donor microbiota with this preparation and compare the results with data generated with the data generally from microbiota transplantation (IND28152). Stool samples may be returned via mail rather than clinic visit.
