L3-SMI
Tijdsspanne: Baseline(day1); prior to dosing in each systemic treatment cycle(each cycle lasts 21-28 days).
|
A single cross-sectional image of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) is obtained via CT/MRI scanning.
Skeletal muscles at the L3 level, including the psoas major, erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, transversus abdominis, external oblique, and internal oblique muscles, are identified and quantified.
The total skeletal muscle area of this slice is calculated using image analysis software such as Slice-O-Matic or ImageJ.
The L3 skeletal muscle index (L3-SMI) is then derived by dividing the total muscle area by the square of height.

The incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) assessed by CTCAE5.0
Tijdsspanne: Adverse events (AEs) of each subject will be followed up for 30 days after the last dose of nanocrystalline megestrol acetate or until the initiation of new anti-tumor therapy, whichever occurs first.

Life quality

The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) contains 30 items to evaluate health-related quality of life in cancer patients. The global quality of life scale is scored from 1 to 7. All other items use a 4-point scale (1 = not at all, 2 = a little, 3 = quite a bit, 4 = very much). The raw score of each domain is the average score of its corresponding items. All raw scores are linearly converted to standardized scores ranging from 0 to 100 for unified comparison.For functional scales, the standardized score is calculated as: [1 - (RS-1)/range] × 100. The range refers to the score interval of each domain, namely the difference between the maximum and minimum values. Higher scores in functional domains and the global quality of life scale represent better function and quality of life. Higher scores on symptom scales and single-item measurements reflect more severe symptoms or health-related problems. |

Overall Survival
Tijdsspanne: Baseline(day 1); prior to dosing in each systemic treatment cycle(up to 2 years,each cycle is 21-28 days), assessed up to 100 weeks.

Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

Anxiety and depression
Tijdsspanne: Baseline(day1); prior to dosing in each systemic treatment cycle(each cycle lasts 21-28 days).
|
Anxiety and depression were assessed using the following two scales respectively. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Developed based on DSM-IV depression criteria, this 9-item scale evaluates depressive symptoms over the past two weeks. Each item is scored 0-3 points, with a total score ranging from 0 to 27. Higher total scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms. A score of ≥1 on Item 9 suggests suicidal risk. The PHQ-9 is used only for screening, not formal depression diagnosis. Anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7). This 7-item international scale evaluates anxiety conditions in the previous two weeks. Each item adopts a 4-point scoring method, with a total score of 0-21. Higher scores correspond to increased anxiety severity. |

Progression-Free Survival
Tijdsspanne: Baseline(day1); prior to dosing in each systemic treatment cycle(each cycle lasts 21-28 days)with a maximum follow-up of 100 weeks.
|
Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to tumor progression or death, whichever occurred first.

Appetite status assessment
Tijdsspanne: Baseline(day1); prior to dosing in each systemic treatment cycle(each cycle is 21-28 days).
|
The A/CS-12 is a subscale of the Functional Assessment of Anorexia/Cachexia Therapy (FAACT).
It enables quantitative and qualitative assessment of anorexia.
Each item is scored from 0 to 4 points, with a total score ranging from 0 to 48.
Lower scores indicate poorer appetite status.
