Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, prospective, multi-center clinical trial, to evaluate the efficacy of silkworm pupa tablets in improving nutritional status and sarcopenia in patients with malignancies who have completed comprehensive treatment.

The primary endpoint is sarcopenia prevalence at 3 months (based on AWGS 2019 criteria: muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical function).
