Active clinical trials for "Cachexia"

SF-K002 is a pilot study in patients with moderate to severe COPD suffering from involuntary weight loss. The study is 12 weeks, double-blinded, placebo controlled and the main objective is to study the safety and tolerability of Nutrifriend Cachexia.

SF-C002 is a pilot study in patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC suffering from involuntary weight loss. The study is 12 weeks, double-blinded, placebo controlled and the main objective is to study the safety and tolerability of Nutrifriend Cachexia.

This study is being conducted to examine the safety of the investigational drug, Xilonix(™), in addition to standard doses of Onivyde® (nanoliposomal irinotecan) and 5- fluorouracil (5FU)/folinic acid (leucovorin) for pancreatic cancer patients with cachexia. Cachexia is a syndrome that includes involuntary weight loss and physical deterioration that can contribute to poor outcomes of cancer treatment. In other studies, Xilonix has increased lean body mass in advanced cancer patients. This increase could lead to improved weight maintenance and quality of life.

Study to assess the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of an investigational new drug in patients with cancer and cachexia.

This double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) study is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity in healthy subjects of a single dose of AV-380. AV-380 is an immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) intended to bind circulating human growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), a cytokine involved in cancer-induced cachexia.

Study to compare the effects of the investigational new drug (PF-06946860) and a placebo on appetite and to find out how participants with advanced cancer and anorexia feel after receiving repeated subcutaneous (SC-injected under the skin) doses.

This study is the first administration of GSK2881078 to humans. The intention of this study is to provide sufficient confidence in the safety of the molecule to inform progression to further repeat dose and proof of concept studies. This study will include approximately 52 subjects and consist of 2 parts. Part A will consist of two cohorts of 8 subjects to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) of ascending single oral doses of GSK2881078. Cohorts 1 and 2 will include healthy male subjects. Part B (Cohorts 3, 4 and 5) will include three cohorts of 12 healthy male subjects to examine the safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamic (PD) of repeated doses of GSK2881078 over 14 days. The total duration of the study including screening and follow-up, is not expected to exceed 70 days.

The primary objective of this study will be to assess how effective Xilonix is in the treatment of patients with symptomatic colorectal cancer. By blocking a substance that helps tumours grow and spread, Xilonix therapy may not only slow tumour growth, but also may improve symptoms of muscle loss, fatigue, appetite loss, and pain in patients with colorectal cancer. The effectiveness of the therapy will be measured by assessing the change in these symptoms for patients treated with Xilonix versus those treated with placebo. Reversal of muscle loss will be assessed with a type of X-ray called a DEXA scanner. Improvement in pain, appetite loss, and fatigue will be measured with a questionnaire that is completed by patients enrolled on the trial.

Phase I study of Megace F will be conducted to investigate pharmacokinetics and safety compared to Megace OS. Phase I study divided into 3 parts written as belows. Part 1 Megace F in fasting volunteers vs Megace F in fed volunteers Part 2 Megace F vs Megace OS in fed volunteers Part 3 Megace F vs Megace OS in fasting volunteers

The administration of Anamorelin in patients with Stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer-cachexia (NSCLC-C) is expected to increase appetite, lean body mass, weight gain, and muscle strength.
