Study Summary

This trial studies an antibody that targets a protein linked to cancer-induced cachexia in metastatic cancer patients.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for metastatic cancer patients with cachexia, which means significant weight loss due to illness. They must have a life expectancy of at least 3 months and be undergoing first-line chemotherapy for colorectal or pancreatic cancer. Participants need to be adults who've completed at least two chemo cycles and can't join if they have untreated brain tumors, recent heart issues, severe allergies or organ problems.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

AV-380, an antibody designed to target a specific protein (GDF-15) related to cachexia in cancer patients, is being tested. The study will gradually increase the dose given to participants while monitoring safety, how the body processes the drug (PK), its effects on the body (PD), and any immune response against it.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include typical reactions associated with monoclonal antibodies such as infusion-related reactions, allergic responses, fatigue or flu-like symptoms. Since AV-380 targets GDF-15 involved in weight regulation, unintended impacts on weight might also occur.
