Microbiota Transplant in Advanced Lung Cancer Treated With Immunotherapy

MORELIA

The gut microbiota can modulate the effectiveness of cancer therapies, especially immunotherapy. Manipulating the microbial populations in patients with advanced lung cancer through fecal microbiota transplantation from healthy individuals or from long-term survivors to advanced lung cancer will enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Adequate bone marrow, renal, liver and metabolic parameters (evaluated at least 7 days prior the inclusion in the study: * Platelet count ≥100 x 109/l, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dl and absolute neutrophil count ≥1,000 x 109/l. * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3 times the upper limit of normality, independently of the presence of liver metastases. * Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2,5 times the upper limit of normality. * Total bilirubin ≤1,5 times the upper limit of normality o direct bilirubin below the upper level of normality. * INR\<1,5, except if concomitant oral anticoagulation * Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥30 ml/minute using the EPI equation * Albumin ≥3 g/dl without previous parenteral albumin treatment. 8. All men and women with childbearing potential must accept the use of highly efficacious contraceptive methods during the study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active of untreated central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Treated CNS metastases must be radiologically stable (defined as the absence of CNS progression during at least 3 weeks from the first CNS imaging after radiotherapy to the CNS imaging prior the screening visit. Participants will not be included in the presence of any neurological sign or symptom secondary to CNS metastases or radiotherapy. Any treatment with steroids must have been completed at least 14 days before the first study intervention. 2. Prior use of immunotherapy of immunomodulatory treatment for non-small cell lung cancer, either in combination or in monotherapy, at any stage of the disease. 3. Radiotherapy in \>35% the bone marrow. 4. Prior bone marrow or cell-stem transplant. 5.
