Summary

This study tests a new, easier-to-absorb version of megestrol acetate (a drug that stimulates appetite) in 56 people with advanced pancreatic cancer who are losing weight and appetite. The goal is to see if it helps them gain weight, feel better, and improve their quality of life during cancer treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the nano-drug or a placebo alongside their standard cancer therapy.
