SIBO and weight loss in pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a condition called SIBO (too many bacteria in the small intestine) is linked to weight loss in people with pancreatic cancer. You might join if you have pancreatic cancer and have lost weight recently.

This study looks at how nutrition before and after surgery affects recovery for people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed. By reviewing medical records of past patients, researchers hope to learn how to better support patients through their treatment.
This study looks at how a person’s genetic variations may relate to cancer-related weight loss (cachexia) in pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better understand who is most at risk and guide future treatments.
This study looks at how changing the gut microbiome (gut bacteria) may help people with pancreatic cancer regain strength and slow or reverse cancer-related weight loss (cachexia). It also studies gut bacteria differences in people with pancreatic cancer who are losing weight versus those whose weight is stable, and in healthy volunteers.
This study looks at how weight loss and muscle loss affect people with advanced cancer. It aims to find different types of weight loss to better guide treatment and care.
This study uses breath tests to check for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in people with chronic pancreatitis who still have stomach issues despite taking enzyme pills. It aims to find out if SIBO is causing your symptoms.
This study looks at different types of weight loss (cachexia) in people with advanced lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer. Researchers want to find patterns to better understand and treat it. You can join even if you haven't lost weight yet.
