Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

50 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 50 years old

  • Patients with polynuclear neutrophils > 0.5 G/L
  • Patients having received wide spectrum antibiotics within the last 90 days prior to inclusion
  • Karnofsky index ≥ 70%
  • Availability of a sibling donor, an unrelated stem-cell donor or a familial haploidentical donor

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients planned to receive a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen (2 Gray total body irradiation (TBI) +/- purine analog, fludarabine + cyclophosphamide or equivalent)
  • Patients planned to receive a conventional myeloablative conditioning regimen (e.g. high dose cyclophosphamide and high dose TBI (≥10Gy); high dose busulfan (12.8 mg/kg IV) + high dose cyclophosphamide)
  • Patients receiving a manipulated graft (in-vitro T-cell depletion)
  • Patients planned to receive a conditioning regimen with alemtuzumab
  • Patients planned to receive alloHCT with cord blood cells
  • Patients planned to receive alloHCT from unrelated donor with >= 3/10 HLA-mismatches
  • Patients receiving a large spectrum antibiotic at time of randomization
  • Patients planned to receive vedolizumab or abatacept for GvHD prophylaxis
  • Creatinine clearance <30 mL/min
  • Bilirubin or amino-transferases abnormalities contra-indicating alloHCT

  • Pulmonary impairment with <50% lung carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO)
  • Pregnancy
  • Confirmed or suspected intestinal ischemia
  • Confirmed or suspected toxic megacolon or gastrointestinal perforation
  • Any history of gastro-intestinal surgery in the past 3 months
  • Any history of chronic digestive disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease or other relevant digestive condition according to physician's judgement)
  • Known allergy or intolerance to trehalose or maltodextrin
  • Patients with EBV-IgG negative serology
  • Any condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study drug and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the subject; or interfere with interpretation of study data.
  • Vulnerable patients such as: persons deprived of liberty, persons in Intensive Care Unit unable to provide informed consent prior to the intervention.
