Muscle changes in colorectal cancer cachexia
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You speak and understand Dutch
- You do not have a muscle disease affecting your spine or legs
- You are not bedridden
- You either have colorectal cancer with weight loss (cachexia), have colorectal cancer without weight loss, or are a healthy volunteer without cancer

This study looks at the link between weight loss (cachexia) and gut bacteria in women with breast cancer who are getting home care. It may help doctors understand and improve symptoms like weight loss in the future.
This study looks at how chemotherapy and immunotherapy affect the body in older adults with colorectal cancer, especially early side effects. It may help researchers understand why some people lose strength and how to better predict and manage treatment toxicity.
This study tests a new medicine (QLS2319) to see if it’s safe and can help people with cancer-related weight loss and muscle loss (cachexia). It’s for people whose daily activities aren’t severely limited by their cancer.
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 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.
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.
