Nutrition and metabolic profiling in people with lung cancer to create personalized diet plans

Official title: LISTENING: Unveiling Malnutrition and Metabolic Changes in Lung Cancer Patients: Setting the Basis for Precision Nutrition Models. The Listenig Nutritional Study is Part of the Project MENTORING (Project ID: 101162297; Call: HORIZON-EIC-2023-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01; Programme: HORIZON; DG/Agency: EISMEA; Title: Addressing Malnutrition and Metabolic Health in Non-communicable Diseases Through Precision Nutrition: Impact in Quality of Life and Prognosis of Lung Cancer Patients)

Run by Fundación Investigación E Innovación Biomédica Hospital Universitario Infanta Sofia-Henares · NCT07486947 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will collect health, nutrition, and metabolic data from adults with lung cancer and healthy volunteers to try to build personalized nutrition recommendations.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–85 with a diagnosis of non-small cell or small cell lung cancer, regardless of current treatment status, are the intended participants for the patient cohort.

Probably not a fit

People with uncontrolled chronic diseases or acute gastrointestinal conditions are excluded and would not be eligible to participate or benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies

This observational study will gather clinical, nutritional, and metabolic information from adults with non-small cell and small cell lung cancer across multiple centers, alongside a cohort of healthy volunteers as controls. Participants aged 18–85 will include people receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, combination or biological therapies, conservative care, or no active treatment, with exclusions for uncontrolled chronic disease or acute gastrointestinal illness. Collected data will be used to characterize nutritional impairment patterns and metabolic changes associated with lung cancer and its treatments. The goal is to use these patterns to develop a precision nutrition model that can suggest individualized dietary strategies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the project could enable tailored dietary recommendations that reduce malnutrition and improve health outcomes for people with lung cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Previous observational work has documented nutritional deficits in cancer patients and pilot personalized nutrition approaches have shown promise, but comprehensive precision nutrition models specific to lung cancer remain limited.
