About this trial
CAReS (the Cancer Appetite Recovery Study) is currently enrolling adult patients in England, Scotland and Ireland who are suffering from weight loss as a result of their cancer. Cancer related anorexia is very common, but unfortunately, no approved treatment currently exists. CAReS is evaluating a new investigational medication for cancer related anorexia. The new medication is ART27.13, an oral, once-daily synthetic cannabinoid which aims to stimulate appetite in patients with cancer anorexia and weight loss.
