Recruiting PHASE2 Immune-mediated Colitis (IMC)

New treatment option for Immune-mediated Colitis (IMC)

Official title Healthy-donor Microbiome MTP-101-C in Steroid Relapse/Refractory Immune-related Cutaneous Adverse Events (irCAEs) and Immune-mediated Colitis (IMC)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06499896

What this study is testing

What is MTP-101-C?

MTP-101-C is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for immune-mediated colitis (imc).

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Multiple retrospective studies suggest that the administration of corticosteroids to treat irAEs is safe, and does not compromise efficacy of ICI therapy in cancer patients. While \~67% of patients respond to corticosteroids, 33% of patients require biologic therapy such as TNFα inhibitors (e.g.
