Current treatment options for cachexia in cancer patients are limited to drugs such as progestogens, corticosteroids, and others. These drugs have shown efficacy in the treatment of cancer-induced cachexia, although there are clinical differences in treatment outcomes and no drug candidates are currently approved specifically for this condition. This increases the gap in therapeutic options, which market players are aiming to fill through R&D and the introduction of new drugs in the global market.

In many cases, traditional approaches to treating patients with single-drug interventions provided limited therapeutic benefit. Also, due to the lack of approved drugs for this condition, healthcare providers have been seen turning to combination therapies to treat illness including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Clinical trials show significant improvement in body does not deny (LBM) in treated patients and combination therapies. Thus, such outcomes as the popularity of health professionals increase the acceptability of combination therapy among patient populations and drive the demand for cancer cachexia treatments in the global market.
