Amino acids and flavonoids to reduce chemotherapy side effects
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific nutrition supplement (amino acids and flavonoids) can lessen chemotherapy side effects, support nutrition, and improve quality of life in people with non-metastatic breast cancer. It focuses on women who are receiving certain chemotherapy medicines and can eat by mouth and attend regular visits.

This study tests if a special diet that mimics fasting can help reduce side effects from hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors) in women with breast cancer. The diet is a low-calorie meal plan designed to lower cholesterol and improve well-being.
This study tests whether a special anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce side effects in breast cancer survivors who are taking aromatase inhibitors after menopause. You would be randomly assigned to either follow the diet for 6 months or continue your usual diet, and your health will be monitored.
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.
This study looks at how changing your diet during chemotherapy affects side effects and your body's energy use. It involves providing stool samples to study gut bacteria.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D supplements can reduce side effects from chemotherapy in people with breast cancer. It is for patients with low vitamin D levels who are about to start their first chemotherapy treatment.
This trial tests whether adding a special low-calorie diet (called a fasting-mimicking diet) to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy can help treat triple-negative breast cancer before surgery. It aims to see if this combination makes the treatment work better.
