NCT ID NCT05115760
Summary
This study is testing whether a plant-based nutrition drink can help people with head and neck cancer avoid needing a feeding tube during their chemoradiation treatment. Researchers want to see if this easy-to-digest, allergen-free drink provides enough calories and protein to maintain weight and strength. The goal is to improve patients' quality of life by reducing the need for a tube and its potential long-term side effects.
