简要总结
To measure the efficacy of postbiotic supplements in mitigating the gut dysbiosis induced by colon cancer surgery. Efficacy in mitigating dysbiosis will be measured by the change in fecal Shannon Diversity Index (SDI) within patients from the baseline sample to various postoperative timepoints. Mean change in SDI from baseline will be compared between groups at 2 weeks postoperative
详细描述
This is a randomized, single-blinded study designed to assess the efficacy of postbiotic supplements in mitigating gut dysbiosis induced during the perioperative period of laparoscopic colon cancer surgery. Eligible participants, who are scheduled to undergo laparoscopic colon cancer surgery according to standard clinical procedures, will be enrolled following informed consent. Once consent is obtained, participants who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the Treatment group or the Control group. Both groups will take 1 gummy once daily ≥ 7 days prior to surgery and 90 days post surgery. Stool samples will be collected at five timepoints, along with a portion of the tumor tissue resected at surgery. The collected samples will be compared between the treatment and control groups.

研究组 & 干预措施
Treatment Group
Treatment group will receive PoZibio at a dose of 1 gummy once daily for 7 days prior to surgery and 90 days post surgery. Pozibio will be administered as a chewable gummy formulation, to be taken orally at approximately the same time each day.
干预措施: PoZibio (Dietary Supplement)
Control Group
Control group will receive an inert placebo gummy, matched in appearance, taste, texture, and packaging to Pozibio®. The placebo will also be taken once daily for 7 days prior to surgery and 90 days post surgery, following the same schedule as the Test group.
干预措施: Inert placebo (Dietary Supplement)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in fecal Shannon Diversity Index (SDI)
时间窗: Baseline, 2 weeks after surgery
The SDI is a number that reflects both the variety and balance of bacteria in the sample. A higher number means a more diverse bacterial community. Change in fecal SDI is difference at 2 weeks after surgery and baseline between two groups
次要结局
- Beta diversity of intratumoral microbiomes(Day 0)
- Change in fecal SDI(1 week before surgery, 12 months after surgery)
