Summary

This trial aims to determine if a treatment called hdFMT can help reverse side effects from cancer immunotherapy that don't respond to steroids or other drugs. The study will investigate how specific bacteria in the

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with immune-related skin issues like eczema or colitis that haven't improved after steroid treatment. Participants should have these conditions due to cancer immunotherapy and must not respond well to other biologic treatments.
What is being tested?
The study tests MTP-101-C, a healthy-donor microbiome therapy, on patients who didn't get better from steroids or biologics for their skin problems or colitis caused by cancer treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of MTP-101-C are not detailed here, similar microbiome therapies can cause digestive upset, potential infection risks, and immune reactions.
