Could a Fasting-Mimicking diet boost breast cancer treatment?
NCT ID NCT07378306
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether a fasting-mimicking diet (a low-calorie, plant-based diet) can improve the effectiveness of standard chemoimmunotherapy for early or locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer. About 80 women aged 18 to 70 will follow the diet for five days every three weeks alongside their treatment. The main goal is to see if more patients have no cancer left after surgery.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to boost the effectiveness of standard cancer treatment for triple-negative breast cancer.
