Could a simple blood test stop cancer patients from quitting treatment?

NCT ID NCT07465172

Summary

This study aims to find out if measuring a hormone in the blood (GDF-15) can help predict which breast cancer patients will experience severe nausea, vomiting, or weight loss from the drug T-DXd. Researchers will follow 150 patients with advanced breast cancer who are starting T-DXd treatment. The goal is to gather knowledge that could lead to better ways to manage these difficult side effects in the future.
