Coffee and gut bacteria study after colon or rectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This early-phase study tests whether a coffee-related approach can change gut bacteria and blood “metabolites” after treatment for stage I–III colon or rectal cancer. The goal is to learn if these changes could help improve health after standard cancer treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed stage I, II, or III colon or rectal cancer, and you finished standard treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation) at least 2 months ago
- You are 18 years or older
- You can follow the study plan, swallow capsules, and sign informed consent
- In the past month you have not been drinking more than 2 cups of coffee per day most days (and you have not used coffee supplements like green coffee extract recently)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can use birth control during the study (if you could become pregnant)

This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune activity differ in normal, pre-cancer, and cancer colon tissue. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body are linked to colon growth and how they could be targeted in the future.
This study looks at how the gut’s bacteria and bacterial gene signals change after doctors remove certain advanced growths in the colon using endoscopy. If you need an endoscopic procedure for an advanced adenoma or early colon cancer, your stool/bacteria samples may help researchers understand what changes after treatment.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut, your immune system, and colon cancer interact. It aims to understand these connections to improve future treatments.
This study looks at how diet and gut bacteria affect colon cancer risk in Black and Non-Hispanic White adults aged 45 to 75 who are at higher risk. You would donate mouth and stool samples and complete food recalls.
This study looks at how early-onset colorectal cancer treatment affects reproductive and sexual health over time. It asks eligible people to complete questionnaires so researchers can understand and possibly improve care during and after treatment.
This trial tests whether a specific diet before colon cancer surgery can change the bacteria in your gut to help prevent the cancer from coming back or spreading. Patients who are eligible will follow the diet for a short time before their operation.
