Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC after first-line treatment with PD-1/PDL-1 monoclonal antibody will be treated with Gut Microbiota reconstruction(such as FMT) combined with PD-1/PDL-1 monoclonal antibody. We will evaluate the safety of FMT in the treatment of advanced NSCLC, and analyze the effect of FMT on intestinal flora and immunophenotype of patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of FMT-related Adverse Events	Number of patients with adverse events after FMT	2 years
Primary	Incidence of anti-PD-1/PD-L1-related Adverse Events	Number of patients with adverse events related to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 after FMT	2 years
Secondary	Changes in diversity and composition of gut microbiota	Compare the difference of gut microbiota diversity and composition between pre-FMT and post-FMT samples. Microbiota diversity will be quantified by a-diversity ( Faith's Phylogenetic Diversity) based on meta-genomics sequencing. Microbiota composition will be quantified by the operational taxonomic unit (OTU) in the stool.	2 years
Secondary	Efficiency of FMT engraftment	Evaluate the acquired similarity of the recipient microbiota to the donor microbiota by measuring the Euclidian distance between donor microbial composition and every available time point of the corresponding recipients, starting from the pre-FMT sample.	2 years
Secondary	Changes in concentration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells	Compare composition and content of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (CD8+T-cells, NK cells and myelin-sourced inhibitory cells) between pre-FMT and post-FMT samples. The composition and content of CD8+T-cells, NK cells and myelin-sourced inhibitory cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.	2 years
Secondary	Changes in concentration of tumor immune related cytokines	Compare the contents of tumor immune related cytokines (IFN??TNF?Granzyme A/B?Perforin and et al) between pre-FMT and post-FMT samples. The contents of tumor immune related cytokines were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.	2 years
Secondary	Objective response rate (ORR)	Number of patients with objective responses divided by the total number of evaluable patients, according to imaging studies (RECIST 1.1) and iRECIST	2 years
