Fasting-mimicking diet for aging and health in adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special low-calorie diet that mimics fasting can help reduce risk factors for aging and age-related diseases. It is for healthy adults aged 30 to 65 who are willing to follow this diet for several days each month.

This trial tests whether a medically guided fasting-style diet can affect “immune aging” (how well the immune system works) in older people living in long-term care. It may help researchers learn if this approach can improve immune health, but it requires careful diet follow-through and health screening.
This trial tests whether an intermittent, fasting-like diet can help control metastatic prostate cancer and improve metabolic health in men on hormone therapy. Participants follow a specific diet plan and are monitored by the study team.
This study tests whether a special low-calorie diet that mimics fasting can help people with multiple sclerosis feel better and reduce inflammation. Over several months, participants will follow this diet in cycles and be monitored with MRI scans and blood tests.
This trial tests whether a specific schedule of fasting (time-restricted eating) combined with exercise can help slow aging. You will follow a daily eating window and perform prescribed physical activity to see how it affects your health.
This trial tests whether a special low-calorie 'fasting-mimicking' diet can reduce side effects from common immunotherapy drugs for advanced cancer. If you're on a PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 inhibitor, this diet might help you feel better during treatment.
This study combines a special periodic diet that mimics fasting with the standard immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the diet can help the immunotherapy work better.
