Brief Summary: RATIONALE Oxandrolone and megestrol may help prevent weight loss and improve quality of life in patients with cancer It is not yet known whether oxandrolone is more effective than megestrol in preventing weight loss and improving quality of life in patients who are receiving chemotherapy for solid tumors

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying oxandrolone to see how well it works compared to megestrol in preventing weight loss and improving quality of life in patients who are receiving chemotherapy for solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the lean body mass and weight of patients with solid tumors and weight loss who are receiving chemotherapy when treated with oxandrolone vs megestrol
Compare the health-related quality of life of patients treated with these drugs

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to disease stage I-III vs IV concurrent radiotherapy yes vs no and gender Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive oral oxandrolone twice daily
Arm II Patients receive oral megestrol once daily In both arms treatment continues for 12 weeks in the absence of excessive weight loss or gain or unacceptable toxicity

Quality of life weight and body composition are assessed at baseline at 1 2 and 3 months during study therapy and then at 1 month after study completion

Patients are followed at 1 month

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 62-155 patients 31-77 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 2 years
