Standardized Extract of Cultured Lentinula Edodes Mycelia (AHCC®) in Ovarian Cancer Patients on Adjuvant Chemotherapy

Description

This is a pilot phase, randomized, double-blinded feasibility pilot study of AHCC in participants with ovarian cancer. 20 women who plan to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy for ovarian cancer at the University of California (UC) Davis Health Comprehensive Cancer Center will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to receive AHCC (3 grams by mouth daily) or placebo during standard of care chemotherapy. HRQOL and adverse events will be assessed at baseline and during chemotherapy. The hypothesis is that a randomized controlled trial of AHCC supplementation for ovarian cancer patients on adjuvant chemotherapy is feasible.
