Probiotics for preventing bone loss during breast cancer hormone therapy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a probiotic supplement can help prevent bone loss in women with HR-positive breast cancer who are starting an aromatase inhibitor. You would take the probiotic daily and provide blood and stool samples to see how it affects your bone health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether skipping chemotherapy and using only hormone therapy with a drug called ribociclib works as well as chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy with ribociclib for certain early breast cancers that have a low risk of coming back.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can help breast cancer patients going through chemotherapy. If you are between 20 and 80 years old, have stage I-III breast cancer, and are receiving certain chemo drugs, this study may be for you.
This trial tests whether a special probiotic supplement (good bacteria) can reduce belly discomfort caused by abemaciclib, a hormone therapy drug for early breast cancer. You would take the supplement alongside your cancer treatment to see if it helps with stomach side effects.
This trial tests a combination of vitamin K, D-chiro inositol, and α-lactalbumin to help maintain bone strength in women with breast cancer who are on hormone therapy and have low vitamin D. It aims to see if these supplements improve bone health while you take a standard bone medication (alendronate).
This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement can help prevent bone loss in adults aged 60 and older. It is designed for people who have chosen not to take standard osteoporosis medications.
This study tests whether a special anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce side effects in breast cancer survivors who are taking aromatase inhibitors after menopause. You would be randomly assigned to either follow the diet for 6 months or continue your usual diet, and your health will be monitored.
