Gut bacteria study in metastatic colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at gut bacteria in people with colorectal cancer that has spread (metastatic). It aims to find patterns in the bacteria that may help doctors choose better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses AI to analyze gut bacteria (microbiome) in people with colon cancer before and after surgery, to see how it relates to the effectiveness of a treatment called MPRO. It may help improve recovery and outcomes.
This study looks at how chemicals in the environment (called endocrine disruptors) might affect the natural bacteria in your gut and whether that could play a role in colorectal cancer. If you are having a colonoscopy (endoscopy), you may be able to participate.
This study looks at how the gut’s bacteria and bacterial gene signals change after doctors remove certain advanced growths in the colon using endoscopy. If you need an endoscopic procedure for an advanced adenoma or early colon cancer, your stool/bacteria samples may help researchers understand what changes after treatment.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria might affect a treatment for lung cancer that combines chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. It aims to see if certain bacteria can help the treatment work better.
This study looks at how gut bacteria (the microbiome) change during treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. Researchers hope the findings may help improve understanding of how treatment works and how to tailor care.
This study looks at how bacteria and other microbes in your gut are linked to colorectal cancer risk and outcomes. By collecting stool samples from people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer, researchers hope to find patterns that could improve understanding and future treatments.
