New shot aims to reverse cancer wasting
NCT ID NCT07519564
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called GB18 in 18-36 cancer patients who are losing weight and appetite due to their illness (cachexia). The drug is given as a shot under the skin. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also see if it helps patients gain weight and muscle.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
GB18 (a monoclonal antibody)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a treatment that helps cancer patients with cachexia regain appetite and weight, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 18-36 people, so it's too soon to know if it works. The main goal is safety, not effectiveness.
