Silkworm pupa tablets for cancer-related muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a tablet made from silkworm pupa helps improve nutrition and muscle strength in people with cancer who have sarcopenia (muscle loss). It is a placebo-controlled study, meaning some participants receive the tablet and some receive a fake treatment.
