Anamorelin
ANAMORELIN is a novel once-daily, orally active ghrelin receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of cancer cachexia in patients suffering from malignant tumors of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer or colorectal cancer. Cancer cachexia is a complex metabolic disorder syndrome, characterized by decreased body weight (especially decreased muscle mass) and anorexia associated with cancer. It has been well documented that cancer cachexia causes a significant impact on patients’ quality of life (QOL) and prognosis.
