New injection aims to stop cancer wasting
NCT ID NCT07237464
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called GB18 in 36 healthy adults to see if it is safe and how the body handles it. The drug is designed to treat cancer cachexia, a condition where cancer patients lose weight and muscle. Participants receive a single injection of GB18 or a placebo, and researchers monitor side effects and drug levels in the blood.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
GB18
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a treatment for cancer cachexia, a condition causing severe weight loss and muscle wasting in cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial in healthy people, not cancer patients. It only tests safety and dosing, so it may not work for cachexia or may have side effects.
