Brief Summary

This open label ascending dose study is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of AV-380 in cancer patients with Cachexia. AV-380 is an immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) intended to bind circulating human growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), a cytokine involved in cancer-induced cachexia.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent. 2. Patients with histologically confirmed solid tumor cancer who are actively receiving SoC therapy for this cancer. 3. Patients with cachexia as defined by Fearon criteria: 1. Weight loss \> 5% over past 6 months (in absence of simple starvation), or 2. BMI \< 20 kg/m2 and any degree of weight loss \> 2%, or 3. Sarcopenia and any degree of weight loss \> 2% 4. Patients with life expectancy ≥ 3 months Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of allergic or anaphylactic reaction to any monoclonal antibody (IgG protein) or molecules made of components of monoclonal antibody 2.
