Mayo clinic launches massive study on gut microbiome and cancer therapy
NCT ID NCT05112614
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study from Mayo Clinic is looking at how the bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) might influence how well cancer treatments work. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples from 3,000 cancer patients undergoing therapy or stem cell transplants. The goal is to find links between gut microbes and treatment outcomes, which could one day help doctors tailor cancer therapy to each patient.
