Study summary

Breast cancer is frequently accompanied by chronic inflammation, malnutrition, and reduced quality of life, all of which may compromise treatment response and clinical outcomes. Nutritional interventions with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties have the potential to improve these conditions. Channa striata is rich in high-quality protein, albumin, and essential amino acids that support nutritional recovery and tissue repair, while Curcuma contains curcumin, a bioactive compound with well-established anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This study aims to evaluate the effect of combined Channa striata and Curcuma supplementation on nutritional status, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, and quality of life in patients with breast cancer undergoing treatment. The findings are expected to provide evidence for the use of this nutritional supplementation as a complementary strategy to improve clinical outcomes, reduce systemic inflammation, and enhance the overall well-being of breast cancer patients.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Female patients with breast cancer aged ≥18 years who were undergoing chemotherapy.
  • Patients with a (BMI) of 18-29 kg/m².
  • Patients currently receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer.
  • Patients with serum albumin levels of 2.0-3.5 g/dL.
  • Patients who were able to consume oral food and were willing to participate in the study by providing written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with chronic kidney disease, renal failure, or kidney infection.
  • Patients with a known allergy to fish or Channa striata (snakehead fish) albumin-derived products.
  • Patients receiving other protein or amino acid supplements during the study period.
  • Patients who were non-compliant or discontinued the intervention before completion of the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Nutritional status

    This study evaluated changes in BMI, following one month of Channa striata and Curcuma supplementation.

    Time frame: baseline post intervention 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. interleukin - 6

    Change in serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentration from baseline to 1 month after daily supplementation with Channa striata and Curcuma in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 month after intervention

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Aug 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 4 months later.

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 4 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.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 23, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
