Can immunonutrition reduce esophagitis during lung cancer radiation?
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special nutritional supplement (immunonutrition) can lower the risk of severe throat and chest irritation (esophagitis) caused by radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may qualify if you are about to start chest radiation and can eat normally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with lung cancer (any type) and need radiation therapy to your chest area.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You can still eat food by mouth without help.
- You are in generally good health (able to do daily activities without help).
- You have not had radiation to your chest before.
- You do not have other cancers or active esophagus problems (like reflux or invasion).

This trial tests whether taking a daily acid-reducing medication (a PPI, like omeprazole) during radiation for lung cancer can protect your food pipe (esophagus) from irritation. The goal is to reduce discomfort like pain or difficulty swallowing caused by radiation.
This trial combines an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) with radiation therapy and special nutrition drinks to treat esophageal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective in helping patients live longer and feel better.
This trial studies whether adding special nutrition (oral immunonutrition supplements) can help immunotherapy work better in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Participants receive immunotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, and must be able to take oral supplements.
This study tests whether special nutritional support (called immunonutrition) helps patients with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The goal is to see if it improves how well treatment works and how you feel during and after cancer care.
This trial tests whether a special nutritional supplement can help maintain your nutrition and immune system during radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It aims to reduce side effects and improve your overall health during treatment.
This trial looks at how your nutrition status affects the success of immunotherapy drugs in people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer or stomach adenocarcinoma that has spread. It aims to find if better nutrition leads to better treatment results.
