Could a meal replacement drink help cancer patients skip feeding tubes?
NCT ID NCT07242365
Summary
This study is testing if using Soylent, a liquid meal replacement, can help patients with head and neck cancer avoid needing a feeding tube during their intensive chemoradiation treatment. The goal is to see if better nutrition from Soylent can reduce malnutrition and the need for surgical tube placement. Researchers will track 60 patients to measure how many avoid feeding tubes, their weight changes, and their overall quality of life.
