简要总结
The goal of this research protocol is to evaluate whether supplementation with: synbiotics (probiotics with agave inulin), synbiotics with vitamid D or prebiotics (agave inulin) can reduce cognitive decline in patients with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. It will also assess the safety of these supplements. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does supplementation with synbiotics and prebiotics decrease cognitive decline in participants? What adverse effects do participants experience while taking these supplements? Are there significant changes in inflammation markers (calprotectin and C-reactive protein) before and after treatment?
Participants will:
Receive either synbiotics, prebiotics or none daily for 4 months. Undergo cognitive assessments using the CERAD neuropsychological battery at the beginning and end of the study.
Provide blood and stool samples for analysis of inflammation markers. Report any adverse effects experienced during the supplementation period.
详细描述
The primary aim of this research is to investigate the effects of supplementation with synbiotics and prebiotics on cognitive decline in patients diagnosed with breast cancer who are undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This study will utilize a double-blind, randomized design. Group 1: synbiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA3) Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (SP 96) Lactobacillus casei (BGP 93) Lactobacillus plantarum (BG 112) Lactobacillus sporogenes, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Agave Inulin) Group 2: synbiotics with D-vitamin (Inulin, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, D3 Vitamin/Colecalciferol, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus lactis) Group 3: prebiotics (agave inulin) Group 4: None
Duration: The intervention will last for a total of 4 months, coinciding with the chemotherapy treatment period.
At the beginning of the study and at the end of the 4-month period, participants will undergo cognitive assessments using the CERAD neuropsychological battery. Additionally, blood and stool samples will be collected to analyze inflammation markers.
