E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Is a multimodal intervention for cancer cacheixa feasible?
Specific indiviudal treatments such as exercise, nutritional advice, dietary supplements and anti-inflammatory medications have been shown to be beneficial in isolation in the treatment of cancer cachexia. It is hypothesized that combining all of these as a "multimodal intervention" may be beneficial. Before a definitive study is conducted to assess this, it is important that the feasibility of delivering such an intervention is assessed - which is the purpose of the proposed study.
The feasibility will be assessed by: •Enrolment rate •Compliance with study intervention, study procedures and data collection •Contamination-rate in the control group with respect to any of the interventions in the intervention group •Provide an estimate of the sample size required in futures studies in cachexia
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•Can the intervention stabilise or improve skeletal muscle mass? •Can the intervention improve or stabilize physical function? •Can the intervention improve or stabilize nutrition? •Can the intervention reduce fatigue? •Does the intervention improve overall survival?
