Simple supplement could ease harsh radiation side effects for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT04700527
Summary
This study is testing whether a dietary supplement called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) can reduce stomach and bowel side effects in people receiving radiation therapy for cancers in the abdomen or pelvis. About 122 participants will be randomly assigned to take either the SCFA supplement or a placebo (inactive pill) daily, starting before radiation and continuing through treatment. Researchers will compare the severity of side effects and quality of life between the two groups to see if the supplement helps.
