Supplement study for pancreatic cancer patients withdrawn before it began
NCT ID NCT05360745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if a food supplement called ARACOMPLEX® could help maintain quality of life in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer receiving chemotherapy. The supplement contains maca extract, vitamins, and minerals. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data were collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ARACOMPLEX® (a food supplement with maca extract, vitamins, and minerals)
- What this could lead to
- If it worked, this could point toward a simple nutritional supplement to help maintain quality of life during chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. Even if conducted, food supplements rarely have strong effects on cancer outcomes.
