Time Restricted Eating for the Improvement of Outcomes in Patients with Stage I-III Breast Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy before Surgery

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

This phase II trial studies whether time restricted eating (TRE) works to improve outcomes in patients with stage I-III breast cancer receiving chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant) with a body mass index (BMI) 25-40. TRE has been shown to elicit similar metabolic changes as calorie restriction such as reduction in blood glucose levels, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduction of tumor cell growth. TRE may improve outcomes in patients with breast cancer.
