简要总结

RATIONALE: Probiotic therapy may reduce or prevent gastrointestinal complications in patients undergoing chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well probiotic therapy works in preventing gastrointestinal complications in patients undergoing chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine whether live freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria probiotic (VSL#3®) is effective in reducing the acute treatment-related bowel function disturbances, as measured by the FACIT-D diarrhea subscale score in patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy and pelvic RT as adjuvant or primary treatment for malignancy.

Secondary

  • To determine whether VSL#3® can reduce chronic treatment-related bowel dysfunction following completion of therapy.
  • To examine whether VSL#3® appears to have an impact on disease-free survival.
  • To bank blood products for future studies. (exploratory)
  • To characterize changes in the fecal microbiota and examine for correlation with treatment assignment and symptom scores. (exploratory)
