Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Sarcopenia is common in lung cancer patients. It is one of the significant factors affecting the overall survival, radiotherapy and chemotherapy efficacy, and quality of life of patients with lung cancer. Previous studies have shown that increased protein intake can stimulate postprandial muscle synthesis, and improve muscle mass, strength, function, and overall survival. However, most previous studies have focused on the intervention of whey protein, while the protective effect of soybean protein on lung cancer-related sarcopenia (LCRS) has not yet been fully explored and reached an agreement.

So, this study aims to explore the effects of soy and whey protein on muscle, gut microbiota, and clinical outcomes among patients with lung cancer-related sarcopenia, to provide a reference for further nutrition treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will last 6 months. For the duration of the study, an anticipated total of 90 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a 30-gram protein supplement or a placebo daily. There will be a total of 5 study visits, and dietary records, questionnaires, blood and stool collection, and functional testing will occur at all study visits. Intention-to-treat analysis (ITT) and per-protocol analysis (PP) will be conducted in statistical analysis.
