Time-limited eating for people with certain breast or rectal cancers
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating only within a shorter daily time window can improve cancer outcomes in people with specific breast or rectal cancers. It also looks at how this affects the body (such as metabolism) and who is most likely to benefit.

This trial tests whether eating only during certain hours of the day (time-restricted eating) is doable and helpful for people receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. The goal is to see if this eating pattern can be a safe way to support your health during treatment.
This study tests a way of eating called time-restricted eating — meaning you only eat during a certain number of hours each day — to see if it helps with brain health and weight in older breast cancer survivors. If you join, you'll get guidance on when to eat and may have MRI scans to look at your brain.
This trial studies whether time-restricted eating (eating only within certain hours) during breast cancer chemotherapy is safe and helpful. Researchers want to see if it improves chemotherapy outcomes and side effects for people with stage I–III breast cancer.
This study tests whether eating only during a certain window of time each day (time-restricted eating) can improve outcomes for people with early-stage breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery. It may help with treatment side effects and overall health.
This study tests whether scheduling meals at specific times of day can improve how patients feel during cancer treatment. It is for Alaska Native or American Indian people with certain cancers (rectal, HER2+ or triple negative breast, or other solid tumors) who are receiving neoadjuvant (before surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) therapy.
This study tests if time-restricted eating (eating only during a set window each day) can help women with menopausal symptoms, including those who have had hormone-sensitive breast cancer and are on hormone-blocking therapy.
