- NCT04627376Recruiting
Program to help prevent cancer-related weight and muscle loss
This trial tests a “multimodal” program meant to help people with cancer avoid developing cachexia, a condition that causes unwanted weight and muscle loss. It may help you stay stronger and maintain weight if you are not yet in advanced or rapidly worsening stages.
LimassolAges 18 years+ - NCT07519837Recruiting
Understanding Cancer Wasting in Digestive Cancers
This study explores why certain cancers cause patients to lose weight and muscle (called cancer cachexia) and tests ways to reverse it. Researchers will study tissue samples from patients with cancers of the food pipe, liver, stomach, or bile ducts to understand what's happening at a cellular level.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07670286Recruiting
Spotting early warning signs of pancreatic cancer wasting
This study checks if advanced computer analysis of your tumor and body can predict severe weight loss and muscle wasting (cachexia) from pancreatic cancer. If you join, you may help doctors find earlier warning signs to improve treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05606523Recruiting
Test gut bacteria treatment for weight loss in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how changing the gut microbiome (gut bacteria) may help people with pancreatic cancer regain strength and slow or reverse cancer-related weight loss (cachexia). It also studies gut bacteria differences in people with pancreatic cancer who are losing weight versus those whose weight is stable, and in healthy volunteers.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06829290Recruiting
How muscle loss affects disease course in GI cancers
This study looks at how loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) affects the course of illness in people with gastrointestinal cancers, liver cirrhosis, or those in the ICU. It will help doctors better understand and treat muscle wasting.
Mainz, Rhineland-PalatinateAges 18 years+ - NCT06780423Recruiting
Muscle changes in colorectal cancer cachexia
This study compares muscle changes in people with colorectal cancer who have experienced weight loss (cachexia), those with colorectal cancer without weight loss, and healthy volunteers. Participants will have their trunk and leg muscles examined to understand how cachexia affects the body.
Diepenbeek, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06730685Enrolling by invitation
Sarcopenia and cachexia in lung cancer patients
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) and weight loss (cachexia) in people with lung cancer. Researchers want to understand these conditions better to improve care.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT05865535RecruitingPhase 1
Dose study of AV-380 for cancer-related weight loss
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug (AV-380) in people with solid tumor cancer who are losing weight and muscle because of cancer. It mainly helps researchers find a safe dose and see how the body responds, and it may offer a new option for cancer-related cachexia.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05063955Recruiting
Study muscle changes in people with heart failure
This study looks at the reasons for age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with heart failure. It may help researchers understand what is causing muscle weakness and how it could be treated in the future.
Aarhus NAges 18–90 - NCT07168226RecruitingPhase 2
Trial of ASCA101 for Cancer-Related Weight Loss
This trial tests a new drug, ASCA101, for people with certain cancers who are experiencing unwanted weight loss (cachexia). It aims to see if the drug can help improve appetite and stabilize weight. Participants must have colorectal, ovarian, or lung cancer and meet specific weight loss criteria.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT05307367Recruiting
Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cachexia; cancer; sarcopenia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting cachexia; cancer; sarcopenia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cachexia; cancer; sarcopenia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cachexia; cancer; sarcopenia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
