Human microbiome study after pancreatic surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how tiny organisms in your gut (the microbiome) affect recovery after surgery for pancreatic cancer or related growths. It may help doctors understand how to improve outcomes for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You have a growth or cancer in the pancreas or nearby area that is thought to be removable or treatable with the goal of a cure
- Your treatment plan includes surgery and possibly chemotherapy before or after surgery
- You are willing to let the study team access your medical records and follow the study steps

This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) after an organ transplant to understand how they might affect your health. By participating, you help researchers learn more about transplant recovery and long-term well-being.
This study looks at what features of certain pancreas and nearby tumors or cysts might help predict outcomes. It uses existing medical records (and consent, if applicable) and may help doctors better estimate prognosis for patients in the future.
This study looks at how the surgeon's cutting edges (margins) and the way the tumor sits in the pancreas affect outcomes for people having surgery for pancreatic cancer. By joining, you'll help researchers learn how to improve surgery and planning for future patients.
This trial looks at gut bacteria in people having surgery for pancreatic cancer. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect recovery or treatment outcomes.
This study looks at the bacteria living in your gut and pancreas to understand how they might affect pancreatic cancer and precancerous changes. It is for people who are already scheduled for an endoscopic procedure to look at or treat a pancreatic lesion.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic (a helpful bacteria) before and after surgery to remove part of the pancreas can improve recovery. It is for people who are having this surgery and have not had chemotherapy or radiation beforehand.
