New antibody aims to reverse cancer wasting
NCT ID NCT06868849
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called JMT203 in people with lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer who are experiencing cachexia (severe weight loss and muscle wasting). The drug is an antibody that targets a protein linked to appetite loss. The trial will enroll about 307 participants and will first check safety and dosing, then measure if it helps patients gain weight over 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- JMT203 (a monoclonal antibody that blocks GFRAL, a protein involved in appetite and weight loss)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a treatment that helps cancer patients maintain or gain weight and improve their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe. Side effects from the antibody are possible.
