Multiple retrospective studies suggest that the administration of corticosteroids to treat irAEs is safe, and does not compromise efficacy of ICI therapy in cancer patients. While \~67% of patients respond to corticosteroids, 33% of patients require biologic therapy such as TNFα inhibitors (e.g. infliximab), integrin α4β7 inhibitors (e.g. vedolizumab), or JAK/STAT inhibitors (e.g. tofactinib). This study aims to determine that distinct pathobionts govern the development of irCAE and IMC; and that the administration of hdFMT may reverse steroid-refractory irCAEs or IMC. The use of hdFMT has been shown to be effective in steroid and biologic (TNFα and/or integrin α₄β₇ inhibitor) refractory colitis in PD-1 and/or CTLA-4 ICI treated cancer patients in single-institution case series.
The study will be conducted over a 42-day period. Patients receiving anti-PD(L)1 and/or anti-CTLA-4 singly or in combination with other investigational agents are eligible to enroll. Enrollment is not limited by setting (adjuvant, metastatic) and/or line of therapy (1L, 2L etc.). Once enrolled, patients will be enrolled to receive MTP-101-C (encapsulated fecal microbiota, containing \~5 x 1011 bacteria derived from healthy donors) without prior antibiotic conditioning. MTP-101-C will be continued for 28 days during which steroids will be tapered rapidly. irAE endpoint assessment will be repeated following completion of hdFMT (D+28 to D+35) and at 6 weeks (D+42 to D+49). Biospecimens will be obtained periodically. The total duration of MTP-101-C therapy is 4 weeks. This study aims to determine distinct pathobionts govern the development of distinct irAEs including steroid-refractory irCAE or IMC; and that the administration of hdFMT ameliorates irCAE or IMC based on validated cohort-specific assessments: modified CTCAE grading system (cohort 1) or endoscopic assessment scale (full Mayo score, FMS) (cohort 2). Further, this trial aims to show that amelioration of inflammatory pathology is associated with key secondary objectives including: 1) improvements in an irAE toxicity-specific PRO FACT-ICM; and 2) clinically assessment scales. Also, this study will measure the correlation between symptom amelioration and changes in integrated biomarkers include measures of intestinal inflammation (fecal calprotectin), bacterial engraftment (metagenomic) and reactivity to donor bacteria (IgG-seq); exploring the effects of microbiome modulation upon time to steroid discontinuation, time to resumption of therapy, time to next treatment clinical remission by FMS, clinical remission by PMS, and key survival endpoints.
Female participants: A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) per protocol; OR A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment.

Cohort 1 (irCAE): Patients with maculopapular rash, psoriasiform, lichenoid eruptions or bullous pemphigoid of at least grade 3 severity per CTCAE grading system (i.e. >30% BSA with moderate or severe symptoms) during Screening.
Cohort 2 (IMC): Endoscopically confirmed inflammatory colitis as determined by colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy during Screening with minimum severity per Mayo endoscopic subscore 1-¬3 [MES1-3].
-Prior receipt of anti-PD(L)1 and/or anti-CTLA-4 singly or in combination with other approved or investigational agents including chemotherapy or targeted therapy.
NOTE: Patient may have received or are receiving ICI therapy as standard-of-care or part of a clinical trial.
Patient must have received treatment with an anti-PD-(L)1 ICI, anti-CTLA-4 ICI singly and/or in combination with other approved and/or investigational anti-cancer agent(s), as their most recent therapy prior to development of colitis.

Time frame: Up to 2 months
Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in ICB-treated cancer patients treated with MTP-101-C. DLT is defined as any adverse event(s) (AEs) considered possibly, probably, or definitely related to MTP-101-C, which occur during the treatment phase.
