AV-380 for Cancer Patients with Cachexia
This study is testing a drug called AV-380 in cancer patients who are experiencing cachexia, which is severe weight loss and muscle wasting. AV-380 is a type of antibody (monoclonal antibody) that aims to block a protein called GDF-15, which is thought to contribute to cachexia in cancer. The main goals are to see how safe AV-380 is, how the body processes it, and how the immune system reacts to it. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a solid tumor cancer, are receiving standard cancer treatment, and meet specific criteria for cachexia, such as significant weight loss. The study plans to enroll 30 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an open-label study, meaning both you and the study team will know you are receiving AV-380. It is an ascending dose study, meaning participants will receive increasing doses of the drug. The study plans to enroll 30 participants.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- You will be followed from enrollment to the last follow-up visit, which is approximately 60 days after your last dose.

What this trial measures
- Assessment of adverse events (AEs)From enrollment to the last follow-up visit approximately 60-days post dose
AEs as characterized by incidence, type, frequency, and severity (graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[NCI CTCAE\])
- ToxicityWhile receiving study drug (up to 4 months)
Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) events observed at increasing doses of AV-380
- Laboratory AbnormalitiesFrom enrollment to the last follow-up visit approximately 60-days post dose.
Laboratory abnormalities as characterized by type, frequency, severity (graded according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0) and timing.
