Summary

This study looks at how well a drug called nanocrystalline megestrol acetate works for cancer patients who have cachexia, a condition causing severe weight loss and poor appetite. About 495 adults with cancer will take the drug, and researchers will check if their appetite and weight improve over 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this treatment can help patients feel better and gain strength.
