Summary

This study tests whether a short-term diet low in leucine (an amino acid) can make standard chemo-immunotherapy work better for stomach cancer patients. About 108 people will follow the diet for 3 days during each treatment cycle. Researchers will check if this approach improves tumor response and survival.
