About this trial
This is a Phase 1b/2a study in allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients to investigate the safety, PK, PD and preliminary efficacy of multiple oral administrations of SNIPR001 when given concomitantly with SoC levofloxacin.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male or female ≥18 years of age at the time of consent.
Patient is able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to any study-related procedure.
Confirmed diagnosis of any hematologic malignancy.
Planned to undergo an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
Disqualifiers
Use of any treatment (approved or investigational product) considered to interact with the study drug, or which might impact the outcome of the study within 14 days (or 5 half-lives of the approved or investigational product, whichever is greater) prior to the first administration of study drug, as judged by the Investigator.
Use or planned use of any antibiotics with intrinsic activity against E. coli in the gut (e.g., beta-lactam antibiotics) between Pre-Screening and until the end of the SNIPR001/placebo treatment period, with the exception of TMP-SMX and levofloxacin.
Have known hypersensitivity or allergy to any component of SNIPR001, levofloxacin and/or Alka-Seltzer Gold treatment.
Unwilling or unable to comply with the requirements of this Protocol, including providing stool samples.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To assess the safety and tolerability of SNIPR001 in all patients who receive SNIPR001 or placebo in combination with standard of care (SoC) levofloxacin prophylaxis
1. Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and serious adverse events (SAEs), based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5 (NCI CTCAE v5.0). AEs involving graft versus host disease (GvHD) will be graded according to the International Bone Marrow Registry Severity Index. 2. Time to neutrophil recovery (defined as the 1st day of ANC ≥0.5x109/L for 3 consecutive days) 3. Incidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM) 4. Incidence of all-cause mortality 5. Incidence of primary graft failure and secondary graft failure 6. Incidence of acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) 7. Incidence of Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) diarrhea 8. Median number of days from transplant to onset of neutropenic fever
Secondary outcomes
To assess the pharmacodynamics (PD) of SNIPR001 in all patients who receive SNIPR001 or placebo in combination with SoC levofloxacin prophylaxis
Proportion of patients with an increase in E. coli relative abundance in stool
To assess the pharmacodynamics (PD) of SNIPR001 in all patients who receive SNIPR001 or placebo in combination with SoC levofloxacin prophylaxis
Change in E. coli relative abundance in stool
To assess the pharmacodynamics (PD) of SNIPR001 in all patients who receive SNIPR001 or placebo in combination with SoC levofloxacin prophylaxis
Change in E. coli absolute abundance
To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of SNIPR001 in all patients who receive SNIPR001 or placebo in combination with SoC levofloxacin prophylaxis
Recovery of SNIPR001 from first dose of randomized treatment through 7 days after last dose randomized treatment in stool, blood and urine based on the number of plaque-forming units (PFUs) per gram in stool, and the number of PFUs per milliliter in blood and urine.
