In cancer, 20-30% of patients die due to cachexia and more than 50% of patients with cancer die with cachexia being present. An underlying chronic inflammation and the hypercatabolic and hypermetabolic state in malignant diseases lead to the development of cachexia. In addition to the altered nutritional needs of cancer patients, the tumor itself is characterized with an altered metabolism that allows mainly the use of carbohydrates as energy source for the cancer cells.

Our pipeline includes a product that is designed to address these needs.
