Clinical Trial Summary

This is a neoadjuvant study to determine the feasibility and tolerability of 2 weeks of a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet in combination with letrozole for patients with early stage operable ER+disease.


Clinical Trial Description

Primary Objective: • To evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a 2 week ketogenic diet in combination with endocrine therapy prior to surgery for early stage ER+ breast cancer. Secondary Objectives - To determine whether endocrine therapy in combination with a dietary intervention to reduce insulin pathway signaling results in enhanced inhibition of cancer cell proliferation (measured byKi67) - To determine the effectiveness of 2 weeks of a ketogenic diet to reduce measures of insulin/PI3Kpathway activation in breast tumors - To measure changes in weight and body composition after 2 weeks of a ketogenic diet - To measure changes in insulin resistance after 2 weeks of a ketogenic diet - To measure the effectiveness of a ketogenic diet in combination with endocrine therapy to induce and maintain a ketogenic state. Outline: Participants will have baseline metabolic parameters measured and will begin a 2-week diet consisting of meal replacement shakes to induce a ketogenic state. Patients will also receive letrozole 2.5 mg daily. At the end of 2 weeks, metabolic parameters will again be measured and patients will proceed with surgical treatment of their breast cancer. A tumor biopsy from the surgical specimen will be obtained to measure cell proliferation compared with the pre-treatment diagnostic biopsy. ;
