Olanzapine 2.5 MG: Oral olanzapine 2.5 mg once daily at bedtime until disease progression
Standard anti-tumor treatment: Clinicians choose the appropriate standard antitumor drug therapy based on the patient's specific situation
Nutritional advice: All patients enrolled in the study were required to undergo a nutritional assessment and were provided with nutritional advice based on their condition
Study summary
This study aims to assess the impact of adding olanzapine to nutritional advice and standard anti-tumor therapy on the survival and safety of patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, hepato-pancreaticobiliary cancer, and lung cancer. Researchers seek to determine whether olanzapine can improve progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and objective response rate (ORR) in advanced cancer patients who received standard anti-tumor therapy, and investigate the relationship between olanzapine-induced weight changes and patient survival.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Comparing the difference in Median PFS between the two groups — 2 years PFS was defined as the time between the start of treatment in this study and the onset of (any aspect of) tumor progression or death (from any cause). Assessment through the RECICT 1.1 version of solid tumors
