About this trial

to analyze the feasibility for patients with early luminal breast cancer to be compliant with a diet modification - ketogenic or proteins restricted diet - during 9 +/- 1 days, before breast cancer surgery.

It's a Pilot study, monocentric, randomized

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Women 18 to 80 years old

Invasive breast carcinoma, non-metastatic, stage I to III, pathologically proven, ER and/or PR positive, HER2 negative (luminal)

No treatment yet for the current breast cancer

Candidate for primary surgery

Disqualifiers

Metabolic disease or other disease impairing the metabolism analysis

High level athlete

Unintentional weight loss ≥ 5% during the last month, or 10% during the last 6 months or compared to usual weight

Unjustified dietary supplement (not justified by a measured deficiency) during the last month

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • iso-caloric ketogenic diet

    Dietary supplement

    Each patient will be offered a daily diet plan that includes the different groups of low glycemic index foods to bring to each meal and snack, with the notion of quantity. Carbohydrate-free foods can be consumed ad libitum. Dietary advice will be given to increase the consumption of lipid foods (vegetable oils, butter, cheeses, fatty fish, etc.) so that 65% of the total energy intake is provided by lipids. In addition, a list of unauthorized sugars and sweeteners substitutes will be proposed as well as a low glycemic index food composition table centered on carbohydrates for better control of food choice

  • protein restricted diet

    Dietary supplement

    A diet reducing by 20% the amount of protein compared to the usual intake of the patient will be proposed. This new ration will be carried out by calculating the proportion of total energy intake provided by the amount of protein reduced by 20% compared to the usual intake, and by modifying lipid and carbohydrate intakes to obtain an isocaloric ration.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

study of the compliance of patients to the two proposed diets. The proportion of compliant patients to the proposed diet according to the dietary survey realized during 3 days

A patient is considered compliant to the diet if the caloric intake is equal +/- 25% to the caloric intake of the proposed diet AND For the ketogenic diet : the carbohydrate intake is equal +/- 25% to the carbohydrate intake of the proposed diet; i.e. a carbohydrate intake between 7.5 and 12.5% of the total energy intake For the protein restricted diet, the protein intake is equal +/- 25% to the protein intake proposed for this diet; i.e. a reduction between 15 and 25% compared to the previous protein intake

Time frame
during 3 days before the primary surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

study of the molecular consequences of diet modifications on cancer cells and their microenvironment

analyse markers of cell proliferation in cancer and immune cells with blood sample and tumor sample. Evaluation of markers involved in carbohydrate mitochondrial and lipid metabolism, and markers of the Pi3K-Akt-mTOR and the IGF-R pathways

Time frame
At the inclusion visit and the day of surgery
2

study of the molecular consequences of diet modifications on cancer cells and their microenvironment

determine the activity of the anti-tumoral immune surveillance with blood sample and tumor sample. Correlation between the cancer response and antitumoral immune with diet programm

Time frame
At the inclusion visit and the day of surgery
3

evaluation of patient's tolerability to those diet modifications, in terms of weight status

Weight surveillance (in kilograms)

Time frame
From the inclusion visit until the Day 45 post surgery
4

evaluation of patient's tolerability to those diet modifications, in terms of adverse events

monitoring of adverse events related to diet (with CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) version 5.0)

Time frame
From the inclusion visit until the Day 45 post surgery
