Nutrition and immunity support during radiation for head and neck cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nutrition drink can help keep your immune system strong and improve your nutrition while you undergo radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have head and neck cancer (confirmed by a biopsy).
- You are planning to have radiation therapy (maybe with chemo).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are generally healthy enough to be active and take care of yourself (KPS score 70 or higher).
- Your blood counts and liver function tests are within safe ranges.
- You have not had radiation to the head or neck before, and no other cancer in the last 5 years (except some skin cancers).

This trial studies whether adding special nutrition support (“immunonutrition”) can help people with head-and-neck cancer tolerate treatment with chemoradiotherapy, and possibly improve comfort and treatment completion. You may be eligible if you are starting or will have curative or extra (adjuvant) chemoradiotherapy and can complete study measurements.
This study looks at the nutritional status of people with head and neck cancer who are receiving radiation therapy. The goal is to understand how their nutrition changes during treatment.
This study tests whether a personalized nutrition and exercise program can help people with head and neck cancer stay stronger during treatment. If you are getting chemotherapy and radiation, the program may help reduce side effects and improve your recovery.
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy, called adaptive radiation boost, for people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can better target the cancer and possibly improve outcomes.
This trial studies whether a nutritional supplement helps people with head and neck squamous cell cancer when they are receiving radiation (with or without chemotherapy). You must be able to eat by mouth and have specific cancer types and recent CT imaging.
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.
