Remote diet coaching tested for pancreatic cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06050395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a remote nutrition coaching program is practical and well-liked by people with pancreatic cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy. Forty participants were asked to complete online food questionnaires and attend coaching sessions over 12 weeks. The goal was to see if patients would stick with the program and find it helpful, not to measure direct health effects.
