About this trial

GALENOS 2 is a single-arm, single-center, phase II interventional study designed to evaluate the effects of a galenic immunonutrition dietary supplement in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, locally advanced rectal cancer, or lung cancer undergoing standard antineoplastic treatment.
