NCT ID NCT06183151

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new device that measures blood counts from a tiny finger-prick sample in cancer patients. Researchers will compare these results to standard lab tests from regular blood draws. The goal is to see if the device is accurate enough to eventually allow patients to monitor their blood counts more easily, possibly at home. The study involves 150 adults receiving cancer therapy and is currently on hold.
