About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Lung Cancer, Nonsmall Cell

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 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 Criteria:

  • 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

    Arm Type

    Active Comparator

    Arm Label

    Immunonutrition

    Control dietary intervention

    Arm Description

    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.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
    A progression-free survival rate at 12 months will be calculated, with patients categorized in a dichotomous manner as alive and progression-free or in progression or dead at 12 months.
