Fat-Fueled fight: can a special diet boost cancer treatment?
NCT ID NCT06391099
Summary
This study is testing whether following a strict high-fat, low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet is safe and feasible for patients with advanced melanoma or kidney cancer who are receiving immunotherapy. Researchers want to see if changing the body's main fuel source from sugar to fat (ketones) can help the immune system fight cancer more effectively. The study will enroll 60 adults and randomly assign them to either follow the ketogenic diet with coaching or continue their normal diet while monitoring their health and tumor response.
