Cancer drug trial aims to stop devastating weight loss

NCT ID NCT07146893

Summary

This early study is testing if a drug called selpercatinib can help cancer patients who are experiencing severe, unintentional weight loss and loss of appetite, a condition known as cachexia. It will involve a small group of patients with lung, colon, or pancreatic cancer who are already on chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and feasible to use for this purpose and if it helps patients gain or maintain weight and strength over 12 weeks.
