Brief Title: A Pilot and Feasibility Study of a Dietary Intervention With Low-protein Meals in Cancer Patients Receiving Immunotherapies
Official Title: A Pilot and Feasibility Study of a Dietary Intervention With Low-protein Meals in Cancer Patients Receiving Immunotherapies
Study ID: NCT05356182
Brief Summary: The main idea of this study is that a low protein diet may alter the environment surrounding the tumor, enhancing the body's immune response leading to greater anticancer effects of treatment. This study intends to use a low-protein diet as a tool to enhance the immune response generated by immune check point inhibitor treatments.
Detailed Description: This is a single center, randomized, open label study to assess the feasibility of a low-protein diet intervention in cancer patients who are receiving immunotherapies. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either immunotherapy plus control diet arm (\~20% protein content) or immunotherapy plus intervention low-protein diet arm (10% protein content).
