Summary

This study looks at whether ketorolac, a common anti-inflammatory drug, is safe and can help stabilize or increase weight in people with advanced pancreatic cancer who are experiencing cachexia (severe weight loss). About 28 participants will take the drug four times daily for five days. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and improves quality of life.
