Feasibility Study of Modified Atkins Ketogenic Diet in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Malignant Glioma

University of Cincinnati·interventional·Posted Sep 11, 2017·Updated Sep 19, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Modified Atkins Ketogenic Diet for Glioblastoma. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this research study is to see if people can produce ketones in their blood with the modified Atkins diet. Modified Atkins diet is a diet that produces ketones in your blood by restricting carbohydrates to \<20 grams per day. Ketones are substances that are produced in the blood when fat is being broken down. Ketones may help radiation work better and may starve your tumor because it is thought that some brain tumors can not use ketones to grow and can only use sugar or glucose to grow.
