  • At least one measurable tumor lesion according to RECIST v1.1.
  • Meet the criteria for pre-cachexia or cachexia diagnosis (based on the Fearon diagnostic criteria).

  • Currently taking or planning to take other medications that increase appetite or weight, such as corticosteroids (excluding short-term use of dexamethasone during chemotherapy), androgens, progestogens, thalidomide, olanzapine, anamorelin, or other appetite stimulants.
  • Patients with Cushing's syndrome, adrenal or pituitary insufficiency; patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus.
  • Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial, unless it is an observational, non-interventional trial or the follow-up period of an interventional study.
