简要总结

RATIONALE: It is not yet know whether white wine is more effective than a nutritional supplement in improving appetite.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying white wine to see how well it works compared with a nutritional supplement in improving appetite in patients with cancer

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare white wine (Arm A) to non-wine nutritional supplement (Arm B) for the treatment of cancer-associated anorexia.

II. To evaluate the side effect profile of white wine (Arm A).

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to primary malignant disease (lung vs gastrointestinal vs other [specify]), severity of weight loss (excluding peri-operative weight loss) within the past 2 months (< 4.6 kg [< 10 lbs] vs >= 4.6 kg [>= 10 lbs]), age (< 50 years vs >= 50 years), and planned concurrent chemotherapy or radiation (yes vs no).

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
