Alternate day fasting during chemo for gynecologic cancers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 study tests whether fasting (not eating for extended periods) and exercise before surgery might help improve outcomes for women with early-stage endometrial cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either practice fasting and exercise or receive standard care.
This trial studies whether a carefully planned “fasting-mimicking” diet can be safely added to chemotherapy for people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help improve how the body handles treatment, but you must meet specific nutrition and cancer-response criteria.
This trial studies whether a 14-hour night fast and 10-hour eating window can improve inflammation markers and quality of life in women with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer. You would start the fasting routine within three months of beginning hormone therapy.
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 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 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.
