A single-arm intervention study assessing the feasibility of a multimodal intervention of management of cancer cachexia in patients with non-small cell lung cancer during primary anti-neoplastic treatment. The effects of the intervention is compared to a historical control group
In a single arm intervention study, we will provide a multimodal intervention consisting of dietary counselling, physical exercises plan as well as fish oil.
The target of the dietary counselling is:
The initial dietary counselling is at the first cycle of anti-neoplastic treatment. The patient will be provided an individual plan to meet the dietary targets tailored to the individual preferences and symptoms. At every cycle of anti-neoplastic treatment, the plan will be adjusted if needed. At every week the patients will be prompted by telephone to comply with the dietary plan.
The physical exercise consists of two exercises:
Fish oil:
The patients are instructed to ingest 10g of liquid fish oil (consisting of 2 g EPA/DHA) or 8 capsules of fish oil (consisting of 2 g EPA/DHA)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| multimodal | Other | 2 g EPA/DHA as fish oil, repeated dietary counselling and twice weekly 2 x exercises |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility, recruitment rate | Recruitment rate is measured by dividing the number of patients consented by the number of patients screened | 9 months |
| Feasibility, retention rate | Retention rate is measured by dividing the number of patients completing the trial with the number of patients consented | 9 months |
| Feasibility, compliance | The overall compliance was defined successful if at least half of the included patients reached at least 75 % of the nutrient target, consumed at least 75 % of the fish oil and conducted at least 50 % of the physical exercises | 9-18 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Predictive and prognostic factors of change in skeletal muscle | Change in skeletal muscle was measured using CT scans, analysed at the 3rd lumbar vertebra, expressed as actual change in square centimeter. Using an ordinal logistic regression model, patients were ordered in three Groups (muscle wasting: loss of at least 6 cm^2 ; muscle maintenance: +/- 5.9 cm^2; muscle gain: gain of at least 6.0 cm^2). The baseline variables included in the model are age, gender, tumor stage, type of treatment, performance status, inflammatory score (mGPS) and cachexia. The possible prognostic factors included in the model is change in body weight, adherence to the anti-neoplastic treatment plan, treatment response, compliance to the multimodal intervention, number of Nutrition impact symptoms, days in between CT scans, energy and protein intake. |
