NCT ID NCT05708352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a ketogenic (high-fat, low-carb) diet can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, live longer. About 170 adults will be randomly assigned to either a ketogenic diet or standard dietary guidance, while all receive standard cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. The diet lasts 18 weeks, and researchers will track survival and quality of life.
