First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether a very low-carb (ketogenic) diet, a low-carb diet, or the diabetes drug canagliflozin can prevent high blood sugar caused by the cancer drug alpelisib. The goal is to see if controlling blood sugar helps alpelisib work better in people with advanced PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer. About 15 participants will be enrolled to compare these approaches.
