Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of the patients who can finish the FMD without serious adverse events

    To assess feasibility, compliance will be measured by a daily log

    Between screening/baseline (28 to 4 days before Cycle 1 Day 1) and Cycle 1 Day 21 or 28 (Cylces last 21 or 28 days, based on treatment)

Study Arms (1)

Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomized to the intervention arm (FMD) will be provided with Chemolieve®, a plant-based FMD that provides \~300 calories/fasting day and includes all the food to be consumed during the dietary intervention including supplements Subjects will start the diet 3 days prior to chemo-immunotherapy and continue on the first day of chemo-immunotherapy for the first 4 cycles of therapy.

Other: Fasting-Mimicking Diet

Interventions

Chemo-immunotherapy + FMD (fast-mimicking diet)

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • ≥ 18 years at the time of informed consent

  • Eastern cooperative group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
  • Histologically confirmed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and have advanced disease.
  • BMI ≥ 19
  • Patients should be on maintenance therapy for advanced NSCLC as defined as treatment with single agent immunotherapy, single agent chemotherapy plus immunotherapy or single agent molecularly targeted therapy for a minimum of 2 months prior to study entry
  • If a patient is on a treatment that lowers their ANC, their ANC has to be ≥ 1500 on the first day of fasting

You may not qualify if:

  • Self-reported weight loss of \> 10% in the 6 weeks prior to study entry
  • History of diabetes mellitus or patients with a known recent elevated A1c \> 6
  • History of symptomatic hypoglycemia
  • Prior therapies with inhibitors of IGF-1 such as
  • Linsitinib
  • Picropodophyllin
  • Concurrent use of somatostatin
  • Concurrent use of immunosuppressive medications including sirolimus, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, prednisone, dexamethasone, or cyclosporine
  • Significant food allergies (screening checklist in Appendix 3) which would make the subject unable to consume the food provided
  • History or current evidence of any medical or psychiatric condition, therapy that may confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the participating subject as deemed by the treating investigator.
  • Pregnant or lactating females are not eligible.
