Can a personalized diet help lung cancer patients? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07486947
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is collecting data from 180 lung cancer patients to understand their nutritional and metabolic status. Researchers will analyze factors like genetics and gut bacteria to create a model that can recommend personalized diets. The goal is to improve quality of life and outcomes for patients with malnutrition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to personalized dietary recommendations that improve nutrition and quality of life for lung cancer patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, observational study that only collects data—it does not test any treatment. The model may not lead to practical solutions or benefit patients directly.

Who is studied
This study aims to include, across the two planned recruitment centers, between 150 and 180 patients with lung cancer (non-small cell and small cell) treated with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, combinations of immunotherapy and biological therapy, patients receiving conservative therapy, without active treatment, or any other type of treatment. The recruitment centers for lung cancer patients are the Infanta Sofía University Hospital (Madrid, Spain) and the University Hospital of Parma (Parma, Italy). The recruitment center for healthy volunteers is IMDEA Nutrition.
