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 a treatment that targets your gut bacteria (microbiome) can help fight triple-negative breast cancer before surgery. It is for people with newly diagnosed, untreated triple-negative breast cancer that has not spread far.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut may affect how well immunotherapy works for solid cancers that have spread or cannot be removed. It focuses on people who have been on certain immunotherapy drugs (PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors) for at least 3 months but less than 2 years.
This study tests a lifestyle program (diet, exercise, and support) for women with triple-negative breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if healthy habits can help during treatment.
This trial tests whether the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) can affect how well immunotherapy works for lung cancer that can be surgically removed. You may receive immunotherapy or chemotherapy before surgery to shrink the tumor.
This study looks at how gut bacteria may relate to how well immunotherapy works in people with advanced or returning gynecologic cancer. You may be asked to give stool samples several times so researchers can measure changes in your gut microbiome.
