Prebiotics to help your gut health after cancer cell treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking prebiotics (food for helpful gut bacteria) can improve gut microbiome diversity after your own cancer-cell treatment, like autologous stem cell transplant or CAR-T. It may help your gut ecosystem recover during and after therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign informed consent and follow the study plan for the full time needed
- You are age 19 or older
- You have a confirmed cancer diagnosis such as multiple myeloma or specific lymphomas (including DLBCL, mantle cell, follicular, peripheral T-cell, or Hodgkin)
- You are scheduled and recommended by your doctor for either an autologous stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy (depending on the study group)
- You have no history of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and no chronic gut conditions causing ongoing diarrhea or inflammatory bowel disease
- You are willing and able to provide stool samples and have no known intolerance/allergy to the prebiotic ingredients (like potato starch or maltodextrin/resistant starch)

This trial tests whether a special mix of gut bacteria can make CAR-T cell therapy work better for people with large B-cell lymphoma or multiple myeloma. You will take capsules of these bacteria before and during CAR-T treatment to see if it helps your body respond to the therapy.
This study tests if a plant-based diet can help people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are receiving a standard 4-cycle drug combination (DRVd). Researchers want to see if changing what you eat might improve treatment results.
This trial tests whether a special prebiotic diet can help your body's bacteria (microbiome) better respond to standard immunotherapy for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. If you are starting your first immunotherapy, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics made from your own and your donor's bacteria can help prevent or reduce gut problems (like diarrhea) after a stem cell transplant. It may help your intestines recover and feel better.
This early-phase study tests a prebiotic (galacto-oligosaccharide) to see if it can lower or prevent gut inflammation caused by acute graft-versus-host disease (acute GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. If you’re scheduled for an allogeneic transplant, participating may help researchers find safer ways to protect your gut.
This trial tests if taking a postbiotic supplement before surgery for colorectal cancer can improve recovery. It may help patients with adenocarcinoma of the large intestine prepare for their operation.
