NCT ID NCT07163169
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at three simple tests—CARG, G8, and a frailty scale—to see which one best predicts chemotherapy side effects in cancer patients aged 65 and older. Researchers will assess 150 patients before they start chemo and track side effects during treatment. The goal is to find the most accurate tool to help doctors make safer treatment decisions for older adults.

What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. The results may not apply to all cancer types or chemotherapy regimens.
