This study plans to enroll 156 patients aged 18-75, who will be randomly divided into two groups to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of chemotherapy and immune therapy combined with Lactobacillus johnsonii in patients with various advanced unresectable tumors. This study was divided into three subgroups, with 48,52 and 56 subjects in each group respectively，randomly assigned to the experimental or control group in a 1:1 ratio. Subgroup A will include 48 patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced unresectable or recurrent EGFR/ALK wild-type adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The treatment regimen consists of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy tislelizumab (200 mg IV on Day 1) + pemetrexed (500 mg/m² BSA IV on Day 1) + cisplatin (75 mg/m² BSA IV on Day 1). The experimental group will additionally receive oral Lactobacillus johnsonii (1×10¹¹ CFU, twice daily), while the control group will receive a placebo orally twice daily. Standard tumor treatment will be administered every 3 weeks, with follow-up every 6 weeks to assess treatment efficacy and drug-related adverse reactions. Follow-up time points: 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks. Subgroup B will include 52 patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced unresectable or recurrent PD-L1-positive (CPS ≥1) triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The treatment regimen consists of toripalimab (240 mg IV on Day 1) + nab-paclitaxel (260 mg/m² BSA IV on Day 1) + carboplatin (300 mg/m² BSA IV on Day 1). The experimental group will additionally receive oral Lactobacillus johnsonii (1×10¹¹ CFU, twice daily), while the control group will receive a placebo orally twice daily. Standard tumor treatment will be administered every 3 weeks, with follow-up every 6 weeks to assess treatment efficacy and drug-related adverse reactions. Follow-up time points: 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks. Subgroup C will include 56 patients with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable or recurrent HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. The treatment regimen consists of tislelizumab (200 mg IV on Day 1) + oxaliplatin (130 mg/m² BSA IV on Day 1) + capecitabine (1000 mg/m² BSA orally twice daily, taken 30 minutes after meals on Days 1-14). The experimental group will additionally receive oral Lactobacillus johnsonii (1×10¹¹ CFU, twice daily), while the control group will receive a placebo orally twice daily. Standard tumor treatment will be administered every 3 weeks, with follow-up every 6 weeks to assess treatment efficacy and drug-related adverse reactions. Follow-up time points: 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks. Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Progression-Free Survival (PFS): Time from randomization to tumor progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: 1. Changes in gut microbiome composition in stool samples: qPCR and 16sRNA analysis of microbial composition, including Lactobacillus johnsonii, immunotherapy-related bacterial abundance, and microbial diversity. 2. Changes in immune cell subsets in blood, just like Tregs, MDSCs, CD8+ T cells. 3. Changes in blood levels of IL-6, IL-8, and other cytokines/chemokines. 4. Changes in blood indole derivatives, for example, indolepropionic acid. 5. Characterization of the tumor microenvironment in archived tumor samples. 6. Objective Response Rate (ORR): Proportion of patients with tumor shrinkage meeting predefined criteria and sustained for a minimum duration (CR + PR). 7. Disease Control Rate (DCR): Percentage of evaluable cases achieving response (PR+CR) or stable disease (SD). 8. Duration of Response (DOR): Time from first objective response to disease progression (PD) or death before PD, reflecting the durability of ORR. 9. Disease Control Rate (DCR): Percentage of evaluable cases achieving response (PR+CR) or stable disease (SD). 10. Overall Survival (OS): Time from randomization to death from any cause. 11. Percentage of patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor-related adverse events (irAEs).
