Nanocrystalline Megestrol Acetate Oral Suspension (125 mg/mL) was administered to the study group at 5 mL orally once daily (equivalent to 625 mg/day) until disease progression or completion of 12 weeks Other: PD-1/L1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy
PD-1/L1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy
change in body weight
To evaluate the change in body weight of megestrol acetate combined with standard treatment compared with standard treatment in the first-line treatment of NSCLC.
Time frame: a 12-week period
Objective Response Rate (ORR) and 1-year Progression-Free Survival (PFS) rate
To evaluate the Objective Response Rate (ORR) and 1-year Progression-Free Survival (PFS) rate (based on RECIST v1.1) of megestrol acetate combined with standard treatment compared with standard treatment in the first-line treatment of NSCLC.
Time frame: 1-year period
change in appetite assessed by Anorexia/Cachexia Subscale 12 (A/CS-12)
To evaluate the change in appetite assessed by Anorexia/Cachexia Subscale 12 (A/CS-12) of megestrol acetate combined with standard treatment compared with standard treatment in the first-line treatment of NSCLC. An increase of ≥ 4 points in the A/CS-12 scale, or an A/CS-12 scale score of ≥ 37 points, indicates appetite improvement. If the above criteria are not met, it indicates no appetite improvement.
Time frame: a 12-week period
change in lean body mass
To evaluate the change in lean body mass of megestrol acetate combined with standard treatment
Time frame: a 12-week period
Number of completed treatment cycles and occurrence of treatment dose reduction
To evaluate the number of completed treatment cycles and the occurrence of treatment dose reduction of megestrol acetate plus standard therapy versus standard therapy alone as first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Time frame: a 12-week period
