Exploring how gut bacteria affect treatment outcomes in chronic myeloid leukemia patients
Official title: Interaction Between Gut Microbiota and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Defining the Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Run by University of Turin, Italy · NCT06724536 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see how gut bacteria might affect how well chronic myeloid leukemia patients respond to a specific cancer treatment called Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, regardless of the disease stage.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have Chronic Myeloid Leukemia or are under 18 years old may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the relationship between gut microbiota and the effectiveness of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). It aims to identify specific microbial signatures that may correlate with better treatment responses, particularly in achieving deep molecular response (DMR). The study will analyze biological samples from CML patients to assess how variations in gut microbiota might influence treatment efficacy and contribute to side effects or metabolic disorders. By understanding these interactions, the research seeks to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life during TKI therapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to personalized treatment strategies that improve outcomes for CML patients by considering their gut microbiota.
How similar studies have gone: While the role of gut microbiota in cancer treatment is gaining attention, this specific investigation into its effects on CML outcomes with TKIs is novel and has not been extensively studied.
