Silkworm Pupa Tablets for Cancer Patients With Muscle Loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether silkworm pupa tablets can help cancer patients regain muscle mass and improve nutrition. Participants will receive either the supplement or a placebo (inactive pill) and be monitored for changes in muscle strength and overall health.
