NCT ID NCT07216989
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looks at what happens in the body during prolonged fasting and whether those changes could be used against breast cancer cells in a lab. Researchers will collect blood samples from 15 healthy adults before, during, and after a 3-day fast. They will then test how the blood affects cancer cell growth and response to chemotherapy. The goal is to understand the potential benefits of fasting, not to treat participants directly.
