Food changes to reduce side effects from immunotherapy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific food plan can reduce side effects (toxicity) from standard immunotherapy that targets PD-1 and/or CTLA-4. It may help people tolerate treatment better while staying on their usual cancer care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a special low-calorie 'fasting-mimicking' diet can reduce side effects from common immunotherapy drugs for advanced cancer. If you're on a PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 inhibitor, this diet might help you feel better during treatment.
This study tests whether a change in diet can help people with early-stage melanoma or lung cancer who are receiving immunotherapy (a type of treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer). You will be asked to follow a diet, give blood and stool samples, and complete questionnaires to see how the diet affects your body and treatment.
This trial tests whether eating low-protein meals helps people with metastatic cancer feel better or tolerate immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors). It’s mainly a pilot/feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the diet is safe and doable during treatment.
This trial studies whether a specific diet can help people with non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving immunotherapy (a standard cancer treatment). It mainly checks whether participants can follow the diet plan and tolerate the food changes safely.
This trial tests whether a special prebiotic diet can help your body's bacteria (microbiome) better respond to standard immunotherapy for advanced melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. If you are starting your first immunotherapy, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a special nutritional drink (oral immunonutrition) to see if it can reduce side effects from chemotherapy and radiation in people with pancreatic cancer. It may help you feel better during treatment if you are at risk for malnutrition.
