Innovative ‘Poop Pills’ Show Promising Results in Clinical Trials for Multiple Types of Cancer

Recent Phase I and II trials demonstrate that oral fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) capsules can both mitigate immunotherapy‑induced toxicity in kidney cancer and markedly boost response rates in lung cancer and melanoma. In the kidney‑cancer study, 20 patients experienced fewer colitis and diarrhea events, allowing full treatment courses. Separate lung‑cancer and melanoma trials, each with 20 participants, reported 80% and 75% response rates respectively, far exceeding historical benchmarks of 39‑58%. The work, published in Nature Medicine, positions the Lawson‑developed LND101 capsule as a scalable adjunct to cancer therapy.
