Using low-dose chemotherapy with controlled blood sugar to treat advanced solid tumors

Official title: A Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Mechanism of Low-dose Chemotherapy Under Hypoglycaemia for the Treatment of Relapsed Refractory Advanced Solid Tumours

Run by Wuxi People's Hospital · NCT06404528 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if giving low-dose chemotherapy while keeping blood sugar levels low can help patients with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients with early-stage tumors or those who have not yet undergone standard treatment may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the use of low-dose chemotherapy administered under hypoglycemic conditions to treat patients with relapsed refractory advanced solid tumors. By managing blood sugar levels, the approach aims to enhance the immune response against tumor cells while minimizing the cytotoxic effects typically associated with chemotherapy. Patients will receive treatment at Wuxi People's Hospital, where their progress will be monitored based on measurable tumor lesions. The study focuses on patients who have not responded to standard therapies and have specific eligibility criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a novel and less toxic treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: While this specific approach is novel, similar studies exploring low-dose chemotherapy and immunogenic responses have shown promise in other contexts.
