First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a diet rich in prebiotic foods can help the immune system better fight advanced melanoma that no longer responds to standard immunotherapy. Four adults with stage III or IV melanoma will eat a prebiotic-enriched diet while receiving a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab). The goal is to see if the diet can improve tumor shrinkage.
