Can a high-fiber diet help melanoma immunotherapy work better?
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies whether eating a high-fiber diet can improve how well immunotherapy works against melanoma by affecting gut bacteria. If you have melanoma and are starting or have recently started immunotherapy, this study may be relevant.

This trial tests if adding extra dietary fiber before and during immunotherapy can change gut bacteria to make the treatment more effective. It is for people with advanced melanoma who are about to start their first immunotherapy.
This study tests if eating certain prebiotic foods while receiving immunotherapy before melanoma surgery can boost your immune system and improve treatment response. Participants eat study-provided foods and receive standard immunotherapy (ipilimumab with or without nivolumab, or nivolumab with or without relatlimab).
This trial tests if giving a special capsule of donated bacteria (fecal transplant) alongside standard immunotherapy helps shrink tumors in people with advanced melanoma. It aims to see if adding the bacteria can make the immune therapy work better.
This trial looks at whether adding a program of exercise and nutrition changes can improve quality of life and treatment outcomes for people with melanoma who are starting immunotherapy. If you qualify, you would take part in a structured plan to see if these lifestyle changes help.
This trial studies how your immune system “profiles” change while you’re treated with immunotherapy for melanoma. Results may help doctors better understand who benefits from treatment and when.
This trial tests if a high-fiber diet and occasional short-term fasting can help melanoma patients respond better to immunotherapy. It aims to improve treatment outcomes by changing gut health.
