Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Reversing Drug Resistance in Unresectable HCC (TALENP004)

Sponsor: Fujian Provincial Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in reversing drug resistance to the triple therapy regimen in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The triple therapy consists of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), lenvatinib, and Sintilimab. The study is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial involving 15 participants with mid-to-late stage HCC that has progressed despite the triple therapy. FMT capsules will be prepared by matching the gut microbiome profiles of healthy donors to those of patients who achieved complete response (CR) with the triple therapy. The primary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR), treatment-related adverse events (AEs). Secondary endpoints will assess overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease control rate (DCR), changes in gut microbiome, metabolomics, and immune subsets before and after FMT.

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Reversing Drug Resistance in Patients With Intermediate-advanced Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization Combined With Lenvatinib Plus Sintilimab.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

The FMT capsules will be prepared by matching the gut microbiome profiles of healthy donors with those of patients who achieved a complete response to the triple therapy. The FMT capsules will be taken orally at a dosage of 30 capsules per day for the first 3 days of each treatment cycle. The FMT intervention will be administered in 6 cycles, with each cycle lasting for 21 days (Q3W). The duration of the treatment will be determined by the response to therapy, with a maximum of 6 cycles or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or participant withdrawal of consent. The FMT capsules are intended to modify the gut microbiome to reverse the resistance to the triple therapy and enhance the therapeutic response.
