Protein power: new study tests drink to fight muscle loss in chemo patients
NCT ID NCT07114588
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a high-protein nutritional drink can help cancer patients aged 40 and older maintain muscle strength and feel less tired during chemotherapy. Participants with early signs of muscle loss will be randomly assigned to receive either the drink plus nutrition advice or standard care, along with simple home exercises. Researchers will track changes in grip strength, fatigue, and quality of life over 12 weeks to see if early nutrition support makes a difference.
