Summary

This study tests whether combining a modified ketogenic diet (using a meal replacement drink) with online brain training can improve memory and thinking in blood cancer survivors. About 80 adults with mild to moderate cognitive issues will either get the combined program for 12 weeks or wait and then receive only the brain training. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helps cognitive function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: modified ketogenic diet (KetoCal) and online cognitive training (Lumosity)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to help blood cancer survivors think more clearly and remember better.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early feasibility study with only 80 people. The diet and training may be hard to stick with, and benefits might not last or apply to everyone.
