Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancers Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of a Supplementation With a Mixture of Essential Amino Acids on Enhancing the Number of Circulating Lymphocytes and Improveing the Tolerance to Chemotherapy Treatment in Patients With Advanced Gastroinmtestinal Malignances the LEGO Trial
LEGO is single center double-blind randomized trial aimed at testing the efficacy of an essential ammino acid (EAA) supplementation in improving the absolute count of peripheral lymphocytes and the tolerance to chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastrointestinal malignancies not candidates to immune check-point inhibitors containing regimens.
The aim of the study is to verify that, in lymphopenic patients, AAE supplementation leads to an increase in lymphocytes circulating in the blood. In particular, at the end of treatment, in patients with lymphocytes < 29.7% of the total number of white blood cells, we want to observe the disappearance of lymphopenia. ;
