Conditions
Summary
The present study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the early systematic provision of oral nutritional supplements enriched in immunonutrients in non-small lung cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy and receiving nutritional counseling
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Confirmed histological diagnosis of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (both squamous and non-squamous histology);
- First-line treatment with immunotherapy (alone or in combination with chemotherapy) for metastatic disease by investigators' choice within the framework of good clinical practice and in agreement with current guidelines;
- Will to participate by providing written informed consent;
- Availability to administer oral supplements and immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy;
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status ≤ 2;
- Life expectancy ≥ 6 months.
Exclusion Criteria3
- Age \< 18 years;
- Inability to sign an informed consent;
- Indication to or ongoing artificial nutrition support (totally compromised spontaneous food-intake) and incapacity or unavailability to consume oral nutritional supplements
Interventions
In addition to nutritional counseling, patients will receive two servings of an oral high-calorie-high-protein nutritional liquid supplement enriched in immunonutrients (Oral Impact®). The intervention will start approximately two weeks before anticancer treatment initiation and will continue up to first disease re-assessment (12-14 weeks) and prolonged according to patient's needs
Patients will receive nutritional counseling as standard of care. Nutritional counseling may comprise the use of oral nutritional supplements (ONS), which are usually prescribed when patients are unable to maintain satisfactory spontaneous food intake (less than 50% of the requirement for more than one week or only 50-75% of the requirement for more than two weeks). Therefore, in this arm the use of isonitrogenous standard blend ONS will be considered according to the regular assessment of food intake.
