This “Cancer Cachexia - Pipeline Insight, 2024” report provides comprehensive insights about 12+ companies and 15+ pipeline drugs in Cancer Cachexia pipeline landscape. It covers the pipeline drug profiles, including clinical and nonclinical stage products. It also covers the therapeutics assessment by product type, stage, route of administration, and molecule type. It further highlights the inactive pipeline products in this space.
Cancer cachexia can affect your quality of life and may affect the ability to receive cancer treatment. Its prevalence varies across cancer types, ranging from 87% in pancreatic and gastric cancer to 40% in breast cancer, sarcoma, leukemia, and Hodgkin lymphoma. As a secondary disease in cancer patients, cachexia progresses with systemic inflammation, negative protein-energy balance, and involuntary loss of lean body mass. These changes, accompanied by alterations in body composition, contribute to clinical manifestations such as significant weight reduction and disruptions in biological balance. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial for early intervention and management to improve patient outcomes.
Diagnosis typically involves assessing clinical signs such as weight loss exceeding 5% within six months, decreased food intake, reduced muscle strength, and overall decline in functional status. Laboratory tests may reveal abnormalities such as anemia, elevated inflammatory markers, and altered metabolic parameters. Imaging studies can identify tumor burden and potential complications. Importantly, diagnosis requires ruling out other causes of weight loss and muscle wasting. Once diagnosed, management involves a multidisciplinary approach focusing on symptom management, nutritional support, physical activity, and addressing underlying cancer pathology, aiming to improve quality of life and potentially treatment outcomes.
The treatment of cancer cachexia requires a comprehensive, individualized approach focused on improving muscle mass, enhancing overall body state, and increasing tolerance to anti-tumor therapies. While tumors continue to grow, cancer cachexia can be separated from underlying diseases through targeted blockade of cachexia signals, prolonging survival. Palliative treatment strategies are preferred for end-stage cachexia. In cases of catabolically active underlying diseases like advanced lung cancer and bile duct cancer, inhibiting catabolic drugs is the primary treatment choice.
"Cancer Cachexia- Pipeline Insight, 2024" report outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication. A detailed picture of the Cancer Cachexia pipeline landscape is provided which includes the disease overview and Cancer Cachexia treatment guidelines. The assessment part of the report embraces, in depth Cancer Cachexia commercial assessment and clinical assessment of the pipeline products under development. In the report, detailed description of the drug is given which includes mechanism of action of the drug, clinical studies, NDA approvals (if any), and product development activities comprising the technology, Cancer Cachexia collaborations, licensing, mergers and acquisition, funding, designations and other product related details.

Cancer Cachexia: Understanding
Cancer Cachexia: Overview
Cancer cachexia is an insidious syndrome that not only has a dramatic impact on patient quality of life, but is also associated with poor responses to chemotherapy and survival. Indeed, cachexia occurs in the majority of terminal cancer patients and, according to Warren, It is responsible for the death of 22% of cancer patients. It is a type of (wasting syndrome) a common complication of cancer that causes significant amounts of skeletal muscle and body fat loss.Cancer cachexia can affect your quality of life and may affect the ability to receive cancer treatment.
