Summary
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement can help reduce diarrhea and belly discomfort in breast cancer patients taking the drug Abemaciclib. About 80 participants will get either the supplement or a placebo for two months, while also using standard anti-diarrhea medicine. Researchers will track symptom severity and check blood for metabolic changes.

Synbiotic supplement (Bifidobacterium longum, Oligonol® lychee polyphenol, and postbiotics)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, natural way to reduce gut side effects from a common breast cancer drug, improving quality of life during treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (80 people) testing a dietary supplement, not a drug. The effect may be modest or no better than placebo, and results may not apply to all patients.
