Summary

This study tests a high-fiber product called NBT-NM108 in 42 people with advanced colon cancer who are receiving a chemotherapy drug called irinotecan. The goal is to see if the supplement can reduce or prevent the severe diarrhea that often comes with this treatment. By helping the gut stay healthy, researchers hope patients can better tolerate their chemotherapy and have fewer side effects.
