Fasting-mimicking diet during chemo for hormone-positive breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether a 14-hour night fast and 10-hour eating window can improve inflammation markers and quality of life in women with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer. You would start the fasting routine within three months of beginning hormone therapy.
This study looks at how changing your diet during chemotherapy affects side effects and your body's energy use. It involves providing stool samples to study gut bacteria.
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.
