Study summary

Sarcopenia is defined as reduction in muscle mass and function according to the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in older people. Initially described for elderly patients, it is also presented as a negative prognostic factor in overall survival in oncology in certain locations (lung, ENT pathways, colon, pancreas) and more controversially for hemopathies. Its screening by measurement of skeletal muscle mass by CT scan and / or PET scan against L3 and by physical functional tests is not routinely integrated despite international recommendations. Sarcopenia is one of the characteristics of patient fragility that can induce more complications, lengthen the average length of hospital stay and reduce overall survival. The PRONOPALL score, a predictor score for survival validated by a previous study, will be correlated with the presence (or absence) of sarcopenia at inclusion for patients with a solid tumor (breast, ovary, prostate cancer , kidney, lungs, pancreas, colorectal). A prospective study on 38 patients with metastatic cancer was carried out at the Victor Hugo clinic in Le Mans between 01/JUN/21 and 31/AUG/21 (SPACE, ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04714203): 25 patients were analyzable on the CT and PRONOPALL score data with a prevalence of sarcopenia of 60% and median overall survival of 14 months (unpublished data), clinical performance and muscle strength tests were not carried out (as in the publications cited above).

A prospective study for the detection of sarcopenia is indicated by extending to blood diseases with the integration of clinical tests included in the initial APA (Adapted physical activity) assessment recommended for diagnosis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of patients with sarcopenia diagnosed with metastatic cancer.

    Sarcopenia is defined for those under 60 years of age by LMSI\<43.1 cm²/m² for men and \<32.7 cm²/m² for women, and for patients over 60 years of age by \<38.6 cm²/m² for men and \<30.7 cm²/m² for women..

    Time frame: At inclusion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival

    Calculated from the date of inclusion to the date of death due to any cause or the date last known to be alive if patient is censored.

    Time frame: 18 months

  2. Event Free survival

    Calculated from the date of start of treatment to the date of first event (progression, death, infectious complications, thrombosis, side effects of treatments of grade 2 or higher)

    Time frame: 18 months

  3. Progression Free survival

    Calculated from the date of start of treatment to the date of first progression of disease based on Investigator assessment or the date of death or censored at the date of the last valid tumor assessment before start of a new therapy for patients who are still alive and without progression

    Time frame: 18 months

  4. Unanticipated hospitalization rate

    Calculated from the date of start of treatment for all unplanned hospitalizations for side effects of treatments of grade 2 or higher, infectious complications, thrombosis, relapse or progression

    Time frame: 18 months

  5. Statistical relationship between sarcopenia and the PRONOPALL score

    For the cancer subtypes concerned (breast, colon, rectum, lungs, ovaries, prostate, kidney, pancreas)

    Time frame: 18 months

  6. Rate of undernourished patients

    Calculated according to WHO classification

    Time frame: 18 months

  7. Rate of patients with sarcopenia at diagnosis across the inclusive population

    Calculated from the number of patients who were screened for sarcopenia at diagnosis in the active file of patients meeting the inclusion criteria in all participating centers

    Time frame: 18 months
