NCT ID NCT06508034

Summary

This study is testing whether a widely available probiotic supplement can prevent a serious and painful side effect of cancer immunotherapy. It involves 12 adults with solid tumors who are receiving immunotherapy, which can cause severe colon inflammation and diarrhea in nearly half of patients. Researchers want to see if taking the probiotic daily for 12 weeks reduces the chances of developing this complication.
