Relevance of a High-Fiber Diet for Cancer Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
In the present study 'Fiber-Boost', we investigate how a high-fiber diet affects the immunotherapy of advanced lung cancer and what effects it has on the gut microbiome (i.e., the bacteria in the gut) as well as the immune system. Study participants will be assigned to either a test group or a control group. Only patients in the test group will undergo a high-fiber diet. The study lasts 6 weeks per patient and will be conducted at 4 centers within Switzerland. A total of 42 patients are planned to be included in the study.

Intervento studiato
Patients in the test group receive a high-fiber diet through the intake of plant fibers with food (product 'OptiFibre' from Nestlé Health Science).

Criteri di inclusione/esclusione
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age =18 years
- Written informed consent according to Swiss law and ICH/GCP regulations before inclusion and prior to any trial-specific procedures
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC
- Advanced or recurrent NSCLC not amenable to curative treatment
- PD-L1 expression =50% (TPS) determined by an approved IHC test
- No actionable genetic alterations in genes such as EGFR, ALK, ROS1, HER2, BRAF, RET, MET, NTRK
- First-line palliative PD-1/PD-L1-targeted monotherapy at a 3-weekly schedule indicated per local investigator
- Willingness and ability to undergo study interventions
- ECOG performance status 0-2
- Adequate organ function:
- Hemoglobin =70 g/L, platelet count =50 G/L, granulocytes =1 G/L
- Bilirubin, ALT, AST =3 x ULN
- Glomerular filtration rate (Cockroft-Gault) =30 mL/min/1.73m
- Measurable or evaluable disease per RECIST 1.1
- Patients with CNS metastases are eligible, provided there is no requirement for corticosteroids as therapy for CNS disease and no evidence of clinical progression
- Women with child-bearing potential use effective contraception (two independent methods), are not currently pregnant or lactating, and agree to not become pregnant during the trial treatment and during 3 months thereafter. A negative pregnancy test in either urine or blood is required for women with child-bearing potential before trial inclusion.
- Men who are not sterile agree to use contraceptive methods (condoms) or abstain from sexual intercourse during the trial treatment and 3 months thereafter.
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of malignancy, unless in remission for at least 3 years before inclusion with the exception of pT1-2 prostate cancer Gleason score <6, adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ or localized non-melanoma skin cancer
Adjuvant or additive systemic ICB treatment within 6 months prior to inclusion
- Systemic treatment with an antibiotic within 10 days of ICB treatment/HFD intervention start
- Concomitant immunosuppressive drugs including corticosteroids at a daily dose of =10mg prednisone equivalents, methotrexate, azathioprine, TNF-a inhibitors
- Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs or other anticancer therapy
- Major surgical procedures within 14 days prior to inclusion as judged by the investigator
- Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment that is seen as contraindication for the use of PD-1/PD-L1-targeted monoclonal antibodies
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
- Severe or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease
- Any other serious underlying medical, psychiatric, psychological, familial or geographical condition, which in the judgment of the investigator may interfere with the planned staging, treatment and follow-up, affect patient compliance or place the patient at high risk from treatment-related complications
- Had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant
- Ongoing supplementation with OptiFibre or another fiber supplement
