Schematic overview of the ERGO2 trial. The ketogenic diet/fasting group (KD-IF) started with a calorically restricted ketogenic diet on days 1–3. Patients fasted without calorie intake on days 4–6. Days 7–9 were again a calorically restricted ketogenic diet. Patients of the control group (SD) were counseled according to the recommendations of the German Society of Nutrition; no reduced calorie intake was desired. Radiation therapy (XRT) was planned from days 4 to 8 but final specification was left to the local radiation therapist. Figure adapted from [21]
