Brief Title: Study of Early Nutritional Intervention During Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Local Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Official Title: A Prospective, Single-arm, Phase II Study of Early Nutritional Intervention During Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Local Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Study ID: NCT03673657
Brief Summary: This single-arm phase II prospective study is to determine the efficacy of early nutritional intervention during concurrent chemoradiotherapy for local advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Detailed Description: This single-arm phase II prospective study is to determine the efficacy of early nutritional intervention during concurrent chemoradiotherapy for local advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Patients in the study group received early nutritional intervention, including individualized nutrition counseling and oral nutritional supplements from the initiation of CCRT to 2 weeks after its completion. Weekly counseling sessions, conducted by both doctors and nurses, aimed to educate patients on regulating their regular dietary intake to meet specific energy, protein, and other macronutrient requirements. Dietary advice provided precise instructions on food type and quantity, meal frequency, and calorie or protein intake to ensure a daily energy intake of approximately 30 kcal/kg. All patients received definitive thoracic radiotherapy with total radiation doses of 60-68 Gy, concurrent with weekly docetaxel (25mg/㎡) and nedaplatin (25mg/㎡).
