Brief Summary:
This study evaluates cancer-related weight and muscle mass loss, symptoms, and physical function (cachexia) in patients undergoing treatment for colorectal, lung, or pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Patients with these cancer types are at risk for developing cancer cachexia (CC), which is defined as weight loss, muscle loss, and fat loss due to cancer. CC has been associated with reduced physical performance, impaired quality of life, and poorer survival. Many studies that have evaluated treatments for cancer-related weight and muscle loss have aimed to treat all patients with weight loss exactly the same and, unfortunately, have not been successful. Like different cancer types, weight and muscle loss related to cancer may have different causes in different individuals and the best treatment strategy for this condition may not be a one-size-fits-all approach. Information gathered from this study may help researchers develop new diagnostic criteria for CC and design better treatments and clinical trials for cancer-related weight and muscle loss in the future to improve the quality of life in patients with advanced colorectal, lung, or pancreatic cancer.

Condition or disease
Cancer Cachexia (CC)

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To identify multiple distinct diagnostic subtypes within the syndrome of CC as defined by host characteristics (e.g. cachexia symptoms, physical activity, physical function, blood biomarkers including hemoglobin and albumin, and body composition) at baseline and change in these factors over time in patients with cancer at high risk for CC.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the association of each CC phenotype with overall survival. II. To validate CC diagnostic phenotypes developed in a separate, independent cachexia observational study performed by our collaborators at Kaiser Permanente.

III. To collect human samples of blood, tumor tissue, and medical images and build a large, comprehensive CC database clinically annotated with cancer-related outcomes, cachexia symptoms, and physical function data.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate for tumor-derived factors contributing to CC by determining the association between interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression in tumors and IL-6 and CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) levels in the blood in patients with CC.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study.

Patients complete surveys over 30 minutes, undergo physical function tests over 30 minutes, undergo collection of blood and archived tumor samples, and wear actigraphy over 24 hours for 7 days to record daily sleep and exercise activity at baseline and 3-month follow-up. Patients' medical records are also reviewed at baseline, 3-month and 1-year follow-up.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Identification of multiple distinct diagnostic subtypes within the syndrome of cancer cachexia (CC) [ Time Frame: Baseline through study completion, assessed up to 1 year follow up ]
    Defined by host characteristics (e.g. cachexia symptoms, physical activity, physical function, blood biomarkers including hemoglobin and albumin, and body composition) at baseline and change in these factors over time in patients with cancer at high risk for CC. First, will examine the distributions of each variable and assess the need for using transformations to achieve normality for continuous variables (log transformation, quartiles, or clinically important thresholds), collapsing similar variables into single categories, and excluding g conditions that are too rare (< 1% of the cohort). Next, will assess statistical correlations using the Jaccard similarity metric for binary variables and the Pearson correlation for continuous variables to determine highly correlated variables that may provide redundant information.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population
Patients undergoing treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pancreatic adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer.
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • • Have a primary diagnosis of unresectable or stage IV 1) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 2) pancreatic adenocarcinoma, or 3) colorectal cancer

    • Note: Patients do not need to have cachexia to be eligible

      • Plan to start first-line systemic anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, interventional clinical trial) in the next 6 weeks or has started first-line systemic therapy in the previous 6 weeks.

    • NOTE: Patients who received systemic anti-cancer therapy previously as part of adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment and have since recurred are still eligible if such treatment ended > 6 months prior to enrollment. Patients receiving concurrent radiation with systemic therapy or receive local therapy alone (surgery, radiation therapy [RT]) prior to first line therapy remain eligible. Patients receiving maintenance treatment after first line therapy are not eligible

      • Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2
      • Be able to understand, speak and read English
      • Be 18 years of age or older

Exclusion Criteria:

  • • Have contraindications to physical function assessments (30-second arm curl, Timed-Up-And-Go test, or 30-second chair-stand test) per the treating provider or their designee

    • Have any planned major surgeries within the next 3 months
    • Have received chemotherapy or surgery for separate primary cancer within the past 3 years other than early local staged non-melanoma skin cancer
    • Be pregnant
