Overview
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.
Eligibility
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

- 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
