Trial aims to tame harsh chemo gut side effects

NCT ID NCT04249622

Summary

This study tested whether the antibiotic rifaximin could reduce severe stomach pain, diarrhea, and other gut problems caused by a standard breast cancer drug combination. It involved 20 women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer who were experiencing these side effects. The goal was to see if rifaximin could ease symptoms enough to allow patients to continue their cancer treatment on schedule without dose reductions or delays.
