Summary
This early-phase study tests whether ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) similar to ibuprofen, is safe and can help stabilize or increase weight in people with advanced pancreatic cancer who are experiencing cachexia (unintended weight loss). About 28 participants will take the drug four times daily for five days. The main goal is to see if patients can stick with the regimen and if it improves their quality of life.
