Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1. To evaluate the effect of Anamorelin HCl on lean body mass (LBM) as measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) 2. To evaluate the effect of Anamorelin HCl on muscle strength as measured by handgrip strength (HGS) ;Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate the effect of Anamorelin HCl on body weight 2. To evaluate the effect of Anamorelin HCl on quality of life as assessed using the FAACT (Functional Assessment of Anorexia/Cachexia Treatment) and the FACIT-F (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Fatigue) 3. To evaluate the effect of Anamorelin HCl on overall survival ;Primary end point(s): 1. Lean Body Mass change from baseline as measured by DXA 2. Hand Grip Strength of the non-dominant hand change from baseline;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Lean Body Mass change from baseline as measured by DXA over 12 weeks 2. Hand Grip Strength of the non-dominant hand change over 12 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Percentage change in Lean Body Mass 2. Percentage change on Hand Grip Strength of the non-dominant hand 3. Changes in body weight 4. Change in Hand Grip Strength of the dominant hand 5. Quality of life 6. Overall survival ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Percentage change in Lean Body mass over 12 weeks 2. Percentage change on Hand Grip Strength of the non-dominant hand over 12 weeks 3. Changes in body weight at Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12 4. Change in Hand Grip strength of the dominant hand at Weeks 6, 12 5. Quality of life as assessed by FAACT and FACIT-F at Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12 6. Overall survival assessed until death up to 1 year
