Abstract
Cancer cachexia (CC) impacts quality of life, physical function, anticancer treatment response, and survival. Inflammation is a prominent pathomechanism of CC. This small‐scale study sets out to investigate the immunomodulatory drug lenalidomide in inflammatory CC in a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial.
