Ketogenic diets (KD) are low in carbohydrates and high in fat which force cells to rely more heavily upon mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids for energy. Cancer cells, relative to normal cells, are believed to exist under a condition of chronic mitochondrial oxidative stress that is compensated for by increases in glucose metabolism to generate reducing equivalents. The current study tests the hypothesis that consuming a KD while receiving concurrent radiation and chemotherapy would be clinically tolerable in locally advanced non-small cell lung (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer and could potentially exploit cancer cell oxidative metabolism to improve therapeutic outcomes. Mice bearing MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer xenografts were fed either a KD or standard rodent chow, treated with conventionally fractionated radiation (2 Gy / fx), and tumor growth rates were assessed daily. Tumors were assessed for immuno-reactive 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-(4HNE) modified proteins as a marker of oxidative stress. Based on this and another previously published pre-clinical study, phase I clinical trials in locally advanced NSCLC and pancreatic cancer were initiated combining standard radiation and chemotherapy with a KD (lung 6 weeks duration; pancreas 5 weeks duration). Xenograft experiments demonstrated prolonged survival and increased 4HNE modified proteins in animals consuming a KD combined with radiation compared to radiation alone. In the phase I clinical trial, over a period of three years, seven NSCLC subjects enrolled in the study. Of these, four were unable to comply with the diet and withdrew, two completed the study, and one was withdrawn due to a dose limiting toxicity. Over the same time period, two pancreatic cancer patients enrolled in the trial. Of these, one completed the study and the other was withdrawn due to a dose limiting toxicity. The pre-clinical experiments demonstrate that a KD increases radiation sensitivity in a pancreatic cancer xenograft model. However, subjects with locally advanced NSCLC and pancreatic cancer receiving concurrent radiation and chemotherapy had suboptimal oral KD compliance and hence poor tolerance.
