Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanocrystalline medroxyprogesterone acetate for improving appetite and weight gain patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and cachexia and pre-cachexia. The enrolled patients were those with advanced NSCLC who had not received therapy, negative for driver genes and ineligible for curative treatment, and were planned to receive PD-1 inhibitors in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Exclusion Criteria

* Presence of any gastrointestinal absorption-impairing conditions (e.g., dysphagia, malabsorption, prior gastrectomy, or uncontrolled vomiting); current use of tube feeding/parenteral nutrition; or existence of anorexia nervosa, psychiatric disorder-induced anorexia, or pain-related feeding intolerance.
* Driver gene-positive NSCLC or histologically/cytologically confirmed squamous cell-dominant NSCLC.
* Patients with Cushing's syndrome, adrenal/pituitary insufficiency; poorly controlled diabetes mellitus.
