Summary

This study looks at whether a high-fiber, plant-based diet and regular exercise can change the gut microbiome in adults with melanoma who are receiving immunotherapy. Participants are split into two groups: one follows a specific diet and exercise plan, while the other gets general healthy living advice. The main goal is to see if this kind of study can be done successfully from home, with stool samples and activity trackers.
