This trial tests whether a special low-calorie diet that mimics fasting can make chemotherapy more effective for people with hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. If you qualify, you would follow this diet for a few days before and during your chemo cycles.
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 study looks at how the bacteria in your digestive system may affect side effects from abemaciclib, a hormone-based breast cancer drug. By collecting stool samples, researchers hope to understand which patients might experience fewer problems and how to better manage treatment.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can help breast cancer patients going through chemotherapy. If you are between 20 and 80 years old, have stage I-III breast cancer, and are receiving certain chemo drugs, this study may be for you.
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 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.
