First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking an over-the-counter probiotic (VSL#3® 450B) can prevent colitis (colon inflammation) and diarrhea in cancer patients receiving immunotherapy. Up to 45% of patients on these drugs develop this side effect. The trial enrolls adults with solid tumors who are starting or have recently started immunotherapy. The goal is to see if a simple probiotic can reduce this risk.
