简介
Background: Preclinical studies showed that severely calorie restricted fasting-mimicking diets (FMDs) enhance the antitumor efficacy of chemotherapy (CT) or immunotherapy (IO) in murine triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) models. These effects are mediated by a combination of blood glucose reduction and positive immunomodulatory effects. Moreover, combining fasting and metformin produced synergistic anticancer effects in a broad range of tumor models. The BREAKFAST trial was designed to investigate if FMD, plus/minus metformin, could increase the antitumor activity of neoadjuvant CT in patients with stage I-III TNBC. Methods: BREAKFAST (NCT04248998) is a randomized, non-comparative, phase II, pilot trial that enrolled stage I-III (cT>1 cm) TNBC patients (pts) candidate to receive 4 cycles of neoadjuvant CT with doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide every 3 weeks, followed by 12 cycles of weekly …
