Clinical Trial Summary

The interventional, randomized, placebo-controlled, single blind phase II-trial FLORA will assess safety and immunogenicity of fecal microbiota transfer in combination with standard of care immunotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a parallel group design. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 into either the FMT or placebo group.


Clinical Trial Description

Eligible HCC patients visiting the outpatient clinics of LCCH at the study sites at NCT Heidelberg and University Medical Center Mannheim will be enrolled into the study after informed consent. Patients undergo 2:1 randomization into either the FMT or placebo group. Study lead in with a first sonographically guided tumor biopsy, if not already performed for diagnostic purposes, and a sigmoidoscopy will be scheduled within 10 days after study enrollment in an outpatient setting. Start of active pharmacotherapy with A/B will begin within five working days after sigmoidoscopy. A/B administration will be administered as standard of care every 21 days. At day -3 to 0 oral Vancomycin will be given 4x 250mg to the verum group. At day 0 and 21, concurrent to the first and second cycle of A/B, encapsulated FMT will be administered on the same day. At day 40-42, before the third cycle of A/B, a second biopsy of the liver lesion and a sigmoidoscopy will be performed. Clinical efficacy and safety will be assessed as indicated per protocol analysis. ;
