ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the gut microbiota, which is the community of bacteria and other microorganisms living in our intestines, in patients with serious chronic diseases like various types of cancer, heart issues, and kidney diseases. Researchers want to understand how the gut microbiota differs among patients with these conditions and how it might help in creating better diagnostic tools, which are tests that help doctors identify diseases.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 75 years old and have been diagnosed with one of the specific diseases being studied. You also need to have lived in the same province as the hospital for the last three years and be willing to sign a consent form agreeing to participate. If you join, you can expect to provide some samples and answer questions about your health. It's important to note that some people, such as those who are pregnant or have recently taken certain medications, won't be eligible. This study is currently recruiting participants, so if you or someone you know fits the criteria, it might be a good opportunity to contribute to important health research.
