Time-Restricted eating may fight frailty in prostate cancer patients
NCT ID NCT05968144
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether eating only within a 10-hour window each day can help prevent frailty in people over 55 who are on hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Frailty makes it harder to recover from stress and can lead to loss of independence. The trial will enroll 30 participants, randomly assigning them to either the time-restricted eating plan or standard nutrition advice, and measure changes in frailty and body responses after 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- time-restricted eating (10-hour eating window)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary strategy to help older adults on hormone therapy stay stronger and more independent.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-phase trial (30 people) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. The results may not apply to everyone, and the diet change may be hard to stick with.
