Evaluation of the Effects of a Mixture of Amino Acids (Amixea) on Lean Body Mass and Muscle Strengh of Patients With Unresectable Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effects of an amino acid mixture (Amixea) on the body composition as assessed by DXA, and on QMVC as assessed by strain gauge, in advanced NSCLC patients, compared to placebo, after 10 weeks of treatment. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the activity of Amixea on the degree of protein synthesis, on the nutritional risk and status and quality of life in advanced NSCLC patients, compared to placebo, after 10 weeks of treatment. In a small subsample, body composition will be evaluated opportunistically from clinically available CT scans. Adherence to, and patient satisfaction of treatment will be evaluated as exploratory objectives of this study. Finally, the overall safety and product tolerability will be evaluated.
