Summary
This study tests whether a postbiotic supplement called JK-5G can help people with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer who are losing weight (cachexia). About 150 participants will take either the supplement or a placebo powder three times a day for 90 days while continuing their chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if the supplement helps them maintain or gain weight.
