Gut bacteria and weight loss in breast cancer home care
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria relate to weight loss and muscle wasting (cachexia) in women with breast cancer who receive care at home. It may help doctors better understand and treat these symptoms.

This study gives a probiotic to see whether it safely changes the gut’s bacteria and fungi (your “microbiome”) in people with breast cancer. The researchers want to learn if this shift in gut microbes might support breast cancer treatment or health during care.
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 study tests whether a special mix of probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent or reduce hair loss caused by chemotherapy for breast cancer. You would take the probiotic powder every day during chemotherapy.
This study tests a new medicine (QLS2319) to see if it’s safe and can help people with cancer-related weight loss and muscle loss (cachexia). It’s for people whose daily activities aren’t severely limited by their cancer.
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.
