Effects of immunonutrition on patients with advanced cervical cancer
Official title: The Effects of Immunonutrition Therapy on the Nutritional Status, Immune Function, and Quality of Life of Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Patients With Malnutrition: an Open-label Randomized Controlled Study
Run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences · NCT06349148 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a special nutrition therapy can help people with advanced cervical cancer feel better and handle their treatment side effects while they are receiving chemotherapy and radiation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced cervical cancer and diagnosed malnutrition.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with advanced stages of cervical cancer (stage IVb) or those with other severe chronic diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This open-label randomized control trial investigates the impact of immunonutrition therapy on patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving enteral immunonutrition therapy and the other receiving standard enteral nutrition support. The study aims to determine if immunonutrition can reduce dose-limiting toxicity and improve nutritional status and quality of life for these patients. Assessments will include nutritional risk screening and subjective global assessments to ensure appropriate patient selection.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the nutritional status and overall quality of life for patients with advanced cervical cancer undergoing treatment.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with immunonutrition approaches in cancer care, suggesting potential for success in this trial.
