In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Why is this study being done? Many patients with a type of breast cancer (called HR-positive) take a medicine called Abemaciclib. While this medicine is effective, a very common side effect is diarrhea, which can be severe enough to disrupt treatment and reduce quality of life. The reason why some patients get diarrhea and others do not is not well understood. This study aims to investigate whether the natural bacteria living in the gut (known as the gut microbiome) play a role in this side effect. Researchers will compare the gut bacteria of patients who develop diarrhea with those who do not. What will happen in the study? This is an observational study, which means that patients will receive their normal cancer treatment and will not be given any new or experimental drugs as part of this initial phase. * Patients who are already being treated with Abemaciclib will be invited to join
