First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study tests if adding ponsegromab to standard chemotherapy can help adults with advanced pancreatic cancer who are losing weight and have poor appetite (cachexia). About 982 participants will receive either ponsegromab or a placebo alongside their first chemo treatment. The main goals are to see if the drug helps maintain body weight and improve appetite-related quality of life.
