Study for people living with incurable cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study enrolls adults with advanced, incurable cancer to better understand care and outcomes in everyday settings. It may help by guiding improvements for people receiving treatment for symptom relief (palliative care).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have incurable cancer, such as cancer that has spread (metastatic) or cancer treated with the goal of relief (palliative intent)
- Be able and willing to give written consent to join
- You must not have other medical or mental health problems that, in the study team’s view, could make participation risky
- You must be able to do a painless body-measurement test (bio-impedance analysis); this usually cannot be done if you have a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator

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.
This is an observational study that follows people with cancer to better understand outcomes over time. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and share information from your visits (in person or by video only if you meet their rules).
This study collects clinical information and planned blood samples to better understand “cachexia,” which is a serious wasting condition that can happen with advanced cancer. It may help doctors find better ways to predict and manage symptoms in people with colon cancer who can’t have surgery.
This study looks at different types of weight loss (cachexia) in people with advanced lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer. Researchers want to find patterns to better understand and treat it. You can join even if you haven't lost weight yet.
This trial looks at how well patient-recorded measurements can be used during cancer care around the time of curative-intent surgery or chemotherapy before surgery. It may help improve monitoring and decision-making during treatment.
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.
