Gut check: could your microbiome predict cancer treatment success?

NCT ID NCT07551765

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how diet and gut bacteria affect treatment outcomes in women with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. Researchers will collect stool, blood, and tumor samples from 300 participants before, during, and after chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if changes in the gut microbiome can predict whether the cancer disappears completely after treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients will respond best to treatment and potentially guide dietary recommendations to improve outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test a new therapy, and results may take years to translate into clinical practice.
