Study of gut bacteria in colon cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with colon cancer (adenocarcinoma) and be scheduled for surgery.
- You must not have received chemotherapy or radiation for colon cancer before the surgery.
- You must not have serious liver, kidney, heart, or thyroid disease, or be taking medication for these conditions.
- You must not have an immune system disorder, infectious disease, or gastrointestinal disease like inflammatory bowel disease.
- You must not have used probiotics in the past week, and you must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

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.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune activity differ in normal, pre-cancer, and cancer colon tissue. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body are linked to colon growth and how they could be targeted in the future.
This study looks at patterns in the gut microbiome (gut bacteria) and gut chemicals (metabolites) to predict how rectal cancer may do after planned surgery. By understanding these markers, researchers hope to better forecast prognosis and tailor follow-up.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut to see if they can predict how well chemotherapy or radiation works before surgery for certain cancers. If you have pancreatic, stomach, colon, or esophageal cancer that has spread nearby (but not to distant organs), you may be able to join.
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 trial tests if taking probiotics (healthy bacteria) before and after surgery can help your bowels start working again sooner. It's for people having planned colorectal cancer surgery.
