Role of Gut Microbiome in Cancer Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study examines how gut microbiome can affect cancer therapy in cancer patients undergoing cancer therapy or stem cell transplant. The human microbiome affects the way some cancer drugs are metabolized in the human body. Information from this study may help doctors improve the way cancer treatment is delivered, and increase its effectiveness and success.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To correlate gut microbiome with specific cancer diagnoses and the clinical response (efficacy), and adverse effects of cancer therapy (single or multiple) and stem cell transplant.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo collection of blood and stool samples and have their medical records reviewed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Gut microbiome associations with cancer diagnoses [Through study completion, average of 1 year]
Will be done using Shogun pipeline for metagenomics data followed by analysis using QIIME 2.0.
- Associations between microbial community abundances and clinical outcomes [Through study completion, average of 1 year]
Will use a linear multivariate regression model specifically developed for microbiome data (MaAsLin, Multivariate microbial Association by Linear models.
