Fasting-mimicking diet with chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special low-calorie diet, called a fasting-mimicking diet, can make chemotherapy work better for advanced ovarian cancer. The diet is designed to mimic the effects of fasting while still providing some nutrition, and may help reduce side effects or improve treatment response.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether short-term fasting before chemotherapy is better than eating freely for women with advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if fasting can help treatment work better or reduce side effects.
This trial tests a different way of giving chemotherapy to people with advanced ovarian cancer that didn't respond well to initial treatment. The goal is to see if changing the dose and schedule can improve outcomes.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and lifestyle (diet and activity) program can help women with ovarian or endometrial cancer during chemotherapy. You may be assigned to the lifestyle program or usual care to compare outcomes.
This trial tests whether alternating between a fasting day and a normal eating day can help people recovering from gynecologic cancer surgery while they receive chemotherapy. It aims to see if this eating pattern is safe and helpful during treatment.
This trial tests whether adding periods of fasting to standard chemotherapy before surgery helps people with advanced ovarian cancer. It is for those receiving platinum-based chemo for the first time or after recurrence.
This trial adds a fasting-mimicking diet to standard chemotherapy before surgery for a specific type of breast cancer. The diet may help make the chemotherapy work better while reducing side effects.
