Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effect of fecal transplantation (from healthy obese donors) on feceal microbiota composition in relation to satiety (questionnaires, biomarkers, ) and metabolism (REE ) in patients with metastasized or locally advanced oesophageal or gastric cancer receiving standard first-line palliative chemotherapy (capecitabine/oxaliplatin).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effect of fecal transplantation on:<br /><br>1. Sarcopenia (measured by CT-scan).<br /><br>2. Body composition (BIA)<br /><br>3. Systemic inflammation and gut barrier function (CRP, plasma interleukins/LPS<br>binding protein levels and fecal calprotectin) in relation to energy metabolism as<br>measured by resting energy expenditure (REE).<br /><br>4. Chemotherapy toxicity, graded with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse<br>Events (CTCAE)11<br /><br>5. Treatment response measured by CT-scan at baseline and after the first 3 cycles of<br>chemotherapy (week 12).<br /><br>6. Overall survival (defined as the number of days of survival after PA diagnosis).
