Popis: e19582 Background: Hypogonadism has been associated with weight loss and poor outcomes in cancer patients. Up to 50% of males with advanced cancer are hypogonadal at presentation or during the course of treatment. Wasting in cancer patients has also been associated with a decline in physical function and performance status and has major public health significance. We conducted a Phase IIb randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the effect of enobosarm on muscle wasting and physical function in cancer patients. Methods: Patients (n=159) were randomized to oral enobosarm (1 or 3 mg) or placebo daily for 16 wks. Patients were males >45 y and postmenopausal females, had ≥2% weight loss in the 6 mths prior to randomization, BMI
