Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Median change (kilogram, kg) in total lean body mass (LBM)
The average of the change (kg) from baseline at week 7 and change from baseline at week 13 measured by DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)
Median change (kg) in handgrip strength
The average of the change (kg) from baseline at week 7 and change from baseline at week 13 measured by DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Median change (kg) in fat mass
The average of the change (kg) from baseline at week 7 and change from baseline at week 13 measured by DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)
Median change (kg) in total body mass
The average of the change (kg) from baseline at week 7 and change from baseline at week 13 measured by DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)
Median change (kg) in body weight (kg)
The average of the change (kg) from baseline at week 7 and change from baseline at week 13 measured by the calibrated scale
Median change (kg) in lean body mass of trunk
The average of the change (kg) from baseline at week 7 and change from baseline at week 13 measured by DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)
Median change (kg) in lean body mass of both upper and lower extremities
The average of the change (kg) from baseline at week 7 and change from baseline at week 13 measured by DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry)
Change from Anorexia-Cachexia scale
Functional Assessment of Anorexia/Cachexia Treatment (FAACT) version 4, The higher the score, the better the quality of life (QoL) with range 0-156.
Change in quality of life (QoL)
The EORTC QLQ-C30 (Version 3) uses for the questions 1 to 28 a 4-point scale. The scale scores from 1 to 4: 1 ("Not at all"), 2 ("A little"), 3 ("Quite a bit") and 4 ("Very much"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 3. For the raw score, less points are considered to have a better outcome. The EORTC QLQ-C30 (Version 3) uses for the questions 29 and 30 a 7-points scale. The scale scores from 1 to 7: 1 ("very poor") to 7 ("excellent"). Half points are not allowed. The range is 6. First of all, raw score has to be calculated with mean values. Afterwards linear transformation is performed to be comparable. More points are considered to have a better outcome.
Rate of toxicity with clinical significance, and possible relationship to either study intervention
Assessed by the investigator, based on toxicity grade (according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI CTCAE] v5.0)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Background Cancer Cachexia (CC) is a multi-factorial process characterized by progressive weight loss, muscle mass and fat tissue wasting, and adversely affecting their quality of life and survival in patients with advanced stage of cancer. Megestrol acetate (MA), which can help maintain body weight in advanced cancer patients, has not been proven to be effective in improving quality of life or lean body mass. Furthermore, its use is often limited due to various adverse event such as Cushing syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, or thromboembolic risk. CC has a complex and multi-factorial pathophysiology, and there is no established standard treatment. Hypothesis CC is irreversible once it occurs and is also difficult to suppress its progression with any single treatment modality. The investigators hypothesized that a multi-modal intervention comprised of anti-inflammation, omega-3-fatty acids, oral nutritional supplement with counselling by nutritionist, physical exercise, psychiatric intervention as well as Bojungikki-tang which mediates immune-modulation and reverse both of chronic inflammation and wasting condition as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) could prevent the development of CC or improve the CC in advanced cancer patients during chemotherapy compared to those who received usual supportive.
