An interventional study of Whey protein (60 grams) and No protein in Cancer and Breast Cancer, sponsored by Allegheny Singer Research Institute (also known as Allegheny Health Network Research Institute). Recruiting at 2 sites in United States. Open to female participants aged 20 Years to 89 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-28.
Sponsored by Allegheny Singer Research Institute (also known as Allegheny Health Network Research Institute) · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
In this study, the investigators hypothesize that a high dose of post-workout protein after each exercise session will have greater improvements in changes in body composition, including muscle mass and percent body fat versus a workout alone.
14,825 studies on the registry are indexed under Breast Neoplasms; 3,319 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is below the median of 72 across 10,896 interventional studies indexed under Breast Neoplasms.
Browse Breast Neoplasms studies →Allegheny Singer Research Institute (also known as Allegheny Health Network Research Institute) is the lead sponsor of 49 studies on the registry; 20 are open to participants now.
Of its 9 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 4 (44%) have results posted.
Compared within Breast Neoplasms, this study's primary condition as ClinicalTrials.gg classifies it; the registry's first condition term is Neoplasms. The counts are of registry records indexed under each term, refreshed daily. How we classify →

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Participants will be randomized to a post-workout protein consisting of either no protein or 60 g of whey protein. The protein is 100% cold processed and micro-filtered, non-GMO grass-fed whey protein isolate, soy and gluten free, unflavored, and unsweetened. This will include Irish Dairy (AGN Roots, Ireland), which is whey protein isolate and soy lecithin, and Raw GrassFed Whey, which is whey protein concentrate. Utilizing both will allow individuals with any sensitivity to have increased options. The powder will be weighed by EOC staff in a private room prior to mixing with 12 oz of filtered water to ensure adequate dosage. The protein will be mixed via a protein shaker bottle made of stainless steel (Bolde Bottle).

Determine changes in pounds of muscle and fat mass after each exercise regimen
Time frame: Baseline and at program completion (within 4 weeks of exercise completion)
Determine changes in resting metabolic rate in calories per day at the completion of the exercise regimen
Time frame: Baseline and at program completion (within 4 weeks of exercise completion)
Determine changes in body composition at the completion of the exercise regimen, including body mass in pounds, fat mass in pounds, fat-free mass in pounds, % fat, and % fat-free mass
Time frame: Baseline and at program completion (within 4 weeks of exercise completion)
Determine changes in Y-balance score at the completion of the exercise regimen
Y-Balance score measures the length an individual can extend their foot. The larger the score the better the balance.
Time frame: Baseline and at program completion (within 4 weeks of exercise completion)
Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores at the completion of the exercise regimen
FMS measures movement patterns with scoring from 0 to 21. The large the score the better the mobility.
Time frame: Baseline and at program completion (within 4 weeks of exercise completion)
Determine changes in phase angle at the completion of the exercise regimen
Phase angle measures the fluidity of cells and the larger the value the better.
Time frame: At program completion (at 8 weeks)
Started Jun 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 12 months after the start.
Of 2,661 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 66. This study's planned 12 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 2,771 studies reached it within 33 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 66.
Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Sep 28, 2026: primary completion Mar 2027 → Jun 2027 and completion Jun 2027 → Jun 2028.
