Penn researchers find ketogenic diet may boost CAR T cell cancer therapy effectiveness; trial ongoing.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that a ketogenic diet could enhance CAR T cell therapy effectiveness by increasing beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), which boosts CAR T cells' ability to fight cancer. A Phase I clinical trial is underway to assess the safety and efficacy of combining BHB supplementation with CAR T cell therapy. This could offer a cost-effective and low-toxicity approach to improving cancer treatment outcomes.
