Ketogenic diet vs usual diet guidance for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a very low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet helps people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma when combined with standard cancer treatment. You would compare this special diet guidance to the usual anti-cancer diet guidance while receiving the same standard-of-care treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older)
- Your glioblastoma is newly diagnosed (within 2 months of diagnosis)
- You have not started standard chemo and/or radiation for glioblastoma yet
- You can follow study instructions and complete required visits (with a good enough daily function score)
- You can read and understand English or Spanish, and you can sign consent
- You can do the required brain MRI scans

This trial tests a special MRI technique to help surgeons remove more of a glioblastoma brain tumor during surgery. The goal is to see if this approach helps people live longer.
This trial studies whether a very low-carbohydrate diet (a ketogenic diet) can help people with certain brain tumors. It’s meant as an added treatment alongside the usual care to see if it’s safe and potentially beneficial.
This trial tests a shorter, more intense course of radiation therapy (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who have had surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works well for treating the tumor.
This trial tests whether testing drugs on your tumor cells in a lab can help find the best treatment for you. It is for people with a specific type of glioblastoma that has not been treated yet.
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet (high fat, low carb) can help change the environment around breast cancer tumors in ways that might slow cancer growth. You'll follow the diet for several months while researchers monitor your health and take measurements.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small device that tracks blood sugar levels) can help manage high blood sugar in people newly diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. It aims to see if this monitoring can improve overall health during treatment.
