Outcomes
Appetite
For these subgroup analyses of efficacy, the outcomes were the mean changes in LBM, body weight, and QOL‐ACD item 8 scores over 12 weeks from baseline, the responder rates, and the odds ratios (ORs) among the specified subgroups. LBM responders were defined as patients whose LBM was maintained or increased (≥0 kg) from baseline to all evaluation time points. Body weight responders were defined as patients whose body weight was maintained or increased (≥0 kg) from baseline to all evaluation time points. Appetite responders were defined as patients whose QOL‐ACD item 8 score was maintained or increased (≥0 point) from baseline to all evaluation time points. Safety was evaluated in terms of AEs and ADRs in groups of patients by age (<65, ≥65 to <75, ≥75 years) and ECOG PS (0–1, 2).
