Visugromab for Cancer-Associated Weight Loss (Cachexia)

This study is looking at a drug called visugromab (also known as CTL-002) for people who have advanced cancer (like lung or bowel cancer) and are experiencing unintended weight loss, called cachexia. Researchers want to see if visugromab can help you gain weight and improve your appetite. They also want to understand if it helps you move more and what side effects you might experience. You would receive visugromab (in different doses) or a placebo (a substance with no drug) through an IV drip. The study aims to enroll 518 participants, and your body weight and appetite will be checked at 12 weeks to see how the treatment is working. You can join if you are 18 or older and have experienced weight loss and advanced cancer.
