The National Cancer Institute reports that cachexia is responsible for 30% of cancer deaths. There haven't been many good options for treatment. Today, the NCI released an article describing the positive results from a stage one clinical trial that has now expanded to stage 2 trial and is being studied throughout N America, Europe, Asia, and Australia

They are not actively recruiting yet but this is an important study to watch
