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 differences in microbes (tiny organisms) using previously collected pancreatic tissue samples. It may help doctors understand how the microbiome relates to pancreatic diseases like pancreatic cancer.
This study looks at pancreatic cancer patients who undergo planned surgery and how surgery-related factors relate to outcomes. It especially focuses on pre-surgery CT scans and the “margin” status from the pathology report, which may help doctors better plan treatment.
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 gut bacteria in people who had Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer and in healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how the microbiome changes after surgery.
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 research study looks at how your body's chemistry, immune system, and gut bacteria interact during treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples to analyze these factors, hoping to better understand responses to therapy.
