NCT ID NCT07076004
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether giving cancer patients in Maine free, medically tailored groceries plus nutrition counseling can improve their diet and well-being. One hundred adults with any stage or type of cancer will be split into three groups: one gets groceries and counseling, one gets groceries only, and one gets standard care. Researchers will measure changes in diet quality, food security, symptoms, and quality of life over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
medically tailored groceries and nutrition counseling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that providing healthy food and nutrition advice helps cancer patients feel better, eat better, and reduce hospital visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on diet quality, not curing cancer, so benefits may be modest.
