Evaluating the Combined Intervention of Nutritional Supplementation (Remune) and Exercise in Patients With Cancer Cachexia

Basic Study Information

Purpose:
In this study the investigator would like to better understand how cachexia (weight and muscle loss) may improve or worsen, and how exercise and nutritional supplements may impact this process. The investigator would like to see whether a nutritional supplement (Remune) with or without a walking and progressive resistance exercise program (EXCAP©®, Exercise for Cancer Patients) can improve symptoms in patients with lung or gastrointestinal cancers with weight loss and cachexia. The investigator would also like to find out if this nutritional supplement and exercise intervention improves physical performance, day-to-day function, quality of life, and how the supplement and/or exercise may affect different markers in the blood over time.
