Summary

This trial will test whether prebiotic supplementation with resistant starch can improve gut microbiome diversity at time of stem cell engraftment in patients with myeloma or lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 19 with multiple myeloma or certain types of lymphoma who are about to have their first stem cell transplant. They must be willing to follow the study rules and provide informed consent. People can't join if they've had issues with fiber supplements, won't give stool samples, have a history of major gut surgery or chronic gut diseases, or allergies to potato starch or maltodextrin.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether adding resistant starch (RS) to food improves gut microbiome diversity in patients receiving stem cell transplants compared to a placebo (maltodextrin). Participants will consume RS or placebo from around 10 days before until the day their new white blood cells start growing after the transplant.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive discomfort due to prebiotic intake such as bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea. However, since this trial involves dietary supplements rather than drugs, severe side effects are less likely.
