The clinical trial tests the use of over-the-counter probiotics VSL#3® 450B in patients receiving immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, helps the body's immune system attack tumor cells, and interferes with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy can also cause an unfortunate side effect of inflammation of the colon and diarrhea, also known as immune checkpoint inhibitor induced colitis. Immune checkpoint inhibitor induced colitis can occur in up to 45% of patients receiving immunotherapy. Taking probiotics VSL#3® 450B may reduce the chances of developing immune checkpoint inhibitor induced colitis in patients receiving immunotherapy.
