Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This clinical trial studies the side effects and possible benefits of RBX7455 given before surgery in treating patients with breast cancer that can be removed by surgery (operable). RBX7455 contains live intestinal microbes (active drug), which are obtained from healthy human stool and may restore the normal balance of microorganisms in the intestines through the transplant of live and beneficial microorganisms.

- Drug: Microbiota-based Formulation RBX7455
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Incidence of adverse events
- timeFrame
- Up to 4 weeks prior to surgery
- description
- Assessed per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency (percentage) of toxicity for all patients will be reported by study statistician and reviewed by primary disease site to determine toxicity patterns. Evaluation of RBX7455 will be assessed by physical exams and laboratory testing with number of patients with abnormal laboratory values and adverse events.

Estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) negative \< 10%, and no human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification or overexpression * Patients must not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1000/mm\^3 * Platelet count \>= 75,000/mm\^3 * Hemoglobin \>= 9.0 g/dL * Creatinine =\< 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) * Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) (aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\]) =\< 2 x ULN * Albumin \>= 3 g/dL * Willing and able to swallow capsules * Willing and able to complete the stool and serum testing required for the study * Willing to provide blood samples for correlative research purposes * Agrees not to take non-dietary probiotics through 8 weeks after receiving the course of study drug (including over-the counter \[OTC\] and prescription) * Agrees not to take any oral vancomycin, metronidazole, fidaxomicin, rifaximin, nitazoxanide, bezlotoxumab and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG) through the 8-week follow-up assessment unless newly prescribed by a treating investigator during the course of the study * Willing to employ adequate contraception from the time of enrollment through 3 months after the final dose of RBX7455 * Note: Adequate contraception methods include birth control pills, barrier device, intrauterine device * Capable of understanding the investigative nature, potential risks, and benefits of the study * Capable of providing valid informed consent * Willing to return to enrolling institution for all study visits (blood draws, etc) * Willing and able to complete the required Patient Medication Diary * Willing and able to meet all study requirements, including attending all assessment visits and telephone calls * Women of child bearing potential must have negative pregnancy test within 7 days of enrollment Exclusion Criteria: * Requires systemic antibiotic therapy for other condition * Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) within the past 6 months * FMT with an associated serious adverse event related to the FMT product or procedure * Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimen * Immunocompromised patients including patients known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive or those on chronic steroids \> 20 mg prednisone a day or prednisone-equivalent * Note: Must be off systemic steroids at least 90 days prior to enrollment.

Note: Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment. Patients with vitiligo, Graves' disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment within the past 30 days are not excluded * Pregnancy * Breast feeding
