ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at the gut microbiome, which is the community of bacteria and other microorganisms living in our intestines, in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to understand how the diversity and makeup of these gut bacteria change while patients are receiving treatment. By studying this, researchers hope to find out if there is a connection between gut health and the effectiveness of cancer treatments, as well as any side effects that may occur.
To participate, patients need to be at least 18 years old and have advanced or metastatic NSCLC. They should be eligible for certain cancer therapies, including specific types of immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Participants will be asked to provide samples for analysis, which will help researchers gather important data. It's important to note that patients who are not stable enough to join the study, as determined by their doctor, will not be eligible. This study is currently recruiting participants, and it offers a chance to contribute to understanding how gut health may impact cancer treatment outcomes.
