A Study of SER-155 to Treat Diarrhea in People on Immunotherapy

The purpose of this study is to find out whether SER-155 may be a safe first treatment that causes few or mild side effects for people due to irEC.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age > 18 years
  • Receipt of ICI (single-agent or combination) within the 180 days preceding screening.

Concurrent treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy or other tumor-directed agents is permitted.

  • Grade 2 - 3 diarrhea (i.e., increase of at least 4 bowel movements a day above baseline during the screening window), deemed by the treating provider as likely related to ICI therapy, with or without concomitant symptoms of grade 1 - 2 colitis (e.g.

abdominal pain, bloody or mucoid stools)

  • Able to swallow oral medication
  • Individuals of childbearing potential willing to use a highly effective method of contraception (failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly) for 30 days after the last dose of SER-155.
  • Willing to provide written informed consent, comply with the protocol, and understand the potential risks and benefits of study enrollment and treatment.

Exclusion criteria

  • Active GI infection, including untreated viral, bacterial or fungal cause(s) of diarrhea.
  • Received immunosuppressive therapies for suspected or confirmed irEC, including systemic corticosteroids (either oral or intravenous) and/or infliximab, vedolizumab or ustekinumab
  • Grade 3 colitis symptoms, i.e. severe abdominal pain or peritoneal signs
  • Admitted to the hospital for irEC
  • Prednisone (or steroid equivalent) dose > 10 mg a day for a non-GI irAE at time of screening
  • Pre-existing inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) or microscopic colitis
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Any condition that requires ongoing prophylactic or therapeutic antibacterial antibiotics
  • Severe neutropenia, as defined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 500 cells/mm^3, at time of screening
  • Treatment with investigational medications used for diarrhea/colitis treatment and microbiome therapeutics within 30 days prior to enrollment
  • Known allergy or intolerance to oral vancomycin
  • Unable to comply with the protocol requirements
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator may increase the risk of study participation and/or may interfere with the interpretation of study results

Treatment and study plan

SER-155

Biological

SER-155 (Cultivated Multi-Strain Live Bacterial Therapeutic, Encapsulated) is an experimental designed ecology of 16 unique, human-commensal bacterial strains encapsulated for oral administration and will be provided by Seres as an investigational drug

Other names: Cultivated Multi-Strain Live Bacterial Therapeutic, Encapsulated

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of participants with treatment-related adverse events of special interest

    Time frame: 1 year

    Proportion of participants with treatment-related adverse events of special interest, i.e. blood stream infection

  2. Proportion of patients with treatment-related adverse events

    Time frame: 1 year

    Time frame: Day 15

    Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical remission of irEC at day 15, defined as resolution in diarrhea symptoms (grade 0) without the use of immunosuppressive therapy

  3. Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical response of irEC at day 43

    Time frame: Day 43

    Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical response of irEC at day 43

  4. Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical remission of irEC at day 43

    Time frame: Day 43

    Proportion of patients with immunosuppressive-free clinical remission of irEC at day 43

  5. Time to immunosuppressive-free clinical response

    Time frame: 1 year

    Time to immunosuppressive-free clinical response

  6. Time to immunosuppressive-free clinical remission

    Time frame: 1 year

    Time to immunosuppressive-free clinical remission

  7. Number of detectable SER-155 strains at day 15

    Time frame: Day 15

    Number of detectable SER-155 strains at day 15

  8. Number of detectable SER-155 strains at day 43
