Intermittent fasting during chemo for lymphoma
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting is safe and doable for people with lymphoma who are getting standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP or ABVD). It aims to see if adding fasting periods can help reduce side effects.

This trial studies whether limiting when you eat each day (time-restricted eating) can help people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). It compares their response to people without cancer who follow the same eating pattern.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program during chemotherapy can help people with lymphoma feel stronger and have fewer side effects. You would take part in supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 20 weeks.
This study looks at whether taking short, frequent breaks from sitting can help people with lymphoma who are starting chemotherapy feel better and have fewer side effects. If you join, you'll get a wearable activity tracker and text reminders to stand up and move gently throughout your day.
This pilot study tests whether alternating periods of lower calorie intake, along with a plant-based diet, is safe and feasible for people receiving chemotherapy. If it helps, it could support better comfort and treatment tolerance during cancer therapy.
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 studies whether intermittent fasting (eating only during certain hours) can make immunotherapy treatment work better or cause fewer side effects in people with certain advanced cancers. If you can safely fast, this could be a way to boost your treatment.
