Nutritional Support to Help Cancer Treatment Work Safely
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special medical nutrition drink can help people with advanced gastrointestinal cancer (stomach, colon, liver, pancreas, or esophagus) tolerate their first chemotherapy or immunotherapy better and stay healthier during treatment. You'll drink the nutrition supplement alongside your regular cancer treatment and have blood tests to see how it affects your body's response.
