Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18-80 with pathologically confirmed primary breast cancer and a Karnofsky Performance Status score greater than 70.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of other malignancies, severe chronic diseases, or those currently on antidepressant therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a multimodal database that includes clinical information and gut microbiome data from over 1,000 breast cancer patients who also experience depression. Researchers will collect various biological samples, including fecal, blood, and saliva, to perform metagenomic sequencing, metabolite detection, and cortisol level analysis. The goal is to develop predictive models for diagnosis, treatment efficacy, and survival outcomes based on the gathered data. Additionally, a precision prediction cloud platform will be established to facilitate data management and result visualization.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic and treatment strategies for breast cancer patients suffering from comorbid depression.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of integrating multimodal data is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in understanding the interplay between cancer and mental health.
