Gut Bacteria and Cancer Symptoms in Children With Leukemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the bacteria living in your child's gut may affect cancer-related symptoms (like nausea, fatigue, or pain) during leukemia treatment. Researchers will collect stool samples and track symptoms to understand this connection better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 18 years old
- Your child has been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) using specific blood and bone marrow tests
- Your child is able to stay awake, alert, and answer survey questions about how they feel
- Your child does not have inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, and has not had recent stomach or bowel surgery
- Your child has not taken probiotics (beneficial bacteria supplements) or received fecal microbiota transplantation (stool transplant) recently
- Your child is about to start or has just started the full first phase of chemotherapy treatment
