Clinical Study on Nanocrystalline Megestrol Acetate for Appetite Improvement and Weight Gain in Pre-Cachexia and Cachexia Stages Key Terminology Analysis
Nano-crystalline Megestrol Acetate Oral Suspension: Nanocrystalline Megestrol Acetate Oral Suspension + Standard Therapy Nanocrystalline Megestrol Acetate Oral Suspension (125 mg/mL) was administered to the study group at 5 mL orally once daily (equivalent to 625 mg/day) until disease progression or completion of 12 weeks (maximum treatment duration: 12 weeks), whichever occurred first.
Standard Therapy: Standard Therapy
Study summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanocrystalline medroxyprogesterone acetate for improving appetite and weight gain patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and cachexia and pre-cachexia. The enrolled patients were those with advanced NSCLC who had not received therapy, negative for driver genes and ineligible for curative treatment, and were planned to receive PD-1 inhibitors in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy.
