Nutrition therapy for people having chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nutrition program can help people with pancreatic cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery. The program includes diet changes, supplements, and exercise support to see if it improves strength, weight, and overall well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether a supervised resistance exercise program combined with protein supplementation can help people with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer during chemotherapy. It may improve strength and how well you tolerate treatment, with safety monitoring throughout.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise and nutrition program can help people with pancreatic cancer get stronger before surgery. It’s designed for those who are not already doing regular strength training.
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.
This study tests whether adding a diabetes treatment to standard chemotherapy helps people with pancreatic cancer that has spread and who also have diabetes. It might improve how well the cancer is controlled and how you feel.
This trial tests whether adding vitamin C and a fungus called cordyceps to standard chemotherapy can help improve anemia (low red blood cells) in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. It's for those who have not yet had treatment for their cancer.
This clinical trial tests whether a combination of chemotherapy drugs (liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and S-1) is more effective than another standard chemotherapy combination (gemcitabine plus capecitabine) after surgery for pancreatic cancer. It aims to help prevent the cancer from coming back.
