Study Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, fully controlled feeding study that will enroll melanoma patients starting standard-of-care ICB in three settings: adjuvant, neoadjuvant, and unresectable. Patients are randomized to the high fiber or healthy control diet. The goal of the study is to establish the effects of dietary intervention on the structure and function of the gut microbiome in patients with melanoma treated with SOC immunotherapies.

Primary Outcome

Changes of alpha-diversity (e.g., Shannon index) and abundance/relative abundance of different taxon levels (e.g., genus, family), from baseline to end of intervention, will be estimated. The outcomes will be compared. between two arms using t-test or Mann-Whitney test. Linear mixed effects models will be used for assessing the longitudinal data. Similarity in microbiome community structure will be assessed using principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and compared using multivariate analysis of va
