Program to help prevent cancer-related weight and muscle loss
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a solid tumor cancer (stomach, colon/rectum, pancreas, breast, or lung)
- Be scheduled for treatment such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy
- Be in the early stage (not already in cachexia) or only at risk of it
- Be able to read and understand Greek or English
- Have enough ability to do daily activities (not severely limited)

This study tests whether a personalized cooking, nutrition, and physical activity program can help reduce muscle loss in people with advanced cancer who are receiving chemotherapy.
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 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 live, remote exercise program designed for cancer survivors who have completed their main treatment. It aims to improve side effects like fatigue, low physical function, anxiety, or nerve pain. You participate from home using video calls.
This study looks at changes in thinking, behavior, and brain structure that can happen when people with cancer lose weight and appetite (called cachexia). Researchers will use questionnaires and brain scans to understand these changes, which may help improve care for people with 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.
