Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of a plant-based whole-foods delivery service on the microbiome in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing an autologous hematopoietic cell transplant. An autologous hematopoietic cell transplant is a procedure in which blood-forming stem cells (cells from which all blood cells develop) are removed, stored, and later given back to the same person. Loss of microbial diversity within the intestinal tract has been associated with poor outcomes for patients receiving autologous stem cell transplantation. A plant-based whole meal delivery service may increase the intake of foods high in fiber and nutrients therefore improve microbial health during the peri-transplant period. In this pilot study, study investigators will explore the feasibility of this approach.
