What this study is about

Researchers are testing whether changes to the gut microbiome, specifically fecal transplant, can help reduce gastrointestinal (GI) problems caused by medications used to treat cancer. The trial will examine how different types of bacteria in the gut affect patients' response to treatment and their risk of developing colitis.
