Abstract
A number of therapeutics that target mediators of signalling in the hypothalamic and brainstem regions that control appetite, ingestive behaviour, satiety, nausea and vomiting are starting to move the needle on cancer cachexia. However, clarification of meaningful clinical benefits for patients and the primary end points that should support regulatory approval of cachexia treatments is needed.
