What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether taking a postbiotic supplement (butyrate) for 7 days before colorectal cancer surgery can lower the chance of complications like infections or bowel issues. Researchers will compare complication rates in 164 adults who get the supplement versus those who don't. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach can make recovery safer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
butyrate (a postbiotic dietary supplement)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to lower complication rates after colorectal cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial testing a dietary supplement. The effect on complications may be small or absent, and results may not apply to all patients.
