Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) in Conjunction With Chemotherapy in Advanced Ovarian Cancer (NCT05921149)
A Randomized Controlled Study of a Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) in Conjunction With Combination Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in the Treatment of Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Primary Peritoneal Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Rates of grade 3-4 toxicity with carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy range 26-84%. Interventions to reduce toxicity are needed. Short term fasting protects against toxic effects of chemotherapy without decreasing efficacy. In a prospective clinical trial of breast cancer patients randomized to FMD or regular diet during chemotherapy, less antiemetic was required in the FMD group; radiographic and pathologic responses were better in this group. This trial tests whether platinum-taxane chemotherapy combined with a FMD in advanced and recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer patients is associated with decreased toxicity and/ or improved tumor response to therapy.
