Tracking gut bacteria changes and nausea during chemo
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how changes in the gut “microbiome” (your gut bacteria) relate to fatigue and chemotherapy-induced nausea in people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better understand why nausea and fatigue happen and how to predict or manage them during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early-stage breast cancer and plan to start chemotherapy soon
- You are at least 20 years old
- Your last chemotherapy (if you had any) was more than 3 years ago
- Your planned chemotherapy is considered moderate to highly likely to cause nausea
- You are not currently being treated with antibiotics

This study looks at how changing your diet during chemotherapy affects side effects and your body's energy use. It involves providing stool samples to study gut bacteria.
This study looks at how diet affects the bacteria in your gut and how that might help your body respond better to chemotherapy and immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. Researchers will collect information about what you eat and take samples to understand these connections.
This trial tests whether adding acupuncture to standard care can help manage nausea, vomiting, and other stomach symptoms caused by chemotherapy in people with early-stage breast cancer. It is for those about to start their first round of strong chemo.
This study looks at why some people feel very tired during cancer treatment. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples to study how the body responds to chemotherapy and radiation.
This study looks at your gut “microbiome” (the bacteria in your intestines) while you receive high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, or CAR-T cell therapy. Researchers hope to understand how these treatments affect the microbiome, which may relate to how well patients do.
This study is looking at whether medical cannabis can help with nausea caused by chemotherapy. If you are getting chemotherapy that often causes nausea, you may be able to join and use cannabis products to see if they help.
