Summary

This study tests whether an oral postbiotic called JK-5G can help non-small-cell lung cancer patients with cachexia—a condition causing severe weight loss and muscle wasting. About 150 adults with advanced lung cancer will receive either JK-5G or a placebo for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if the postbiotic helps them gain or maintain body weight and improve related symptoms.
