New shot aims to shield cancer patients from dangerous chemo side effect

NCT ID NCT07205536

Summary

This study is testing if a drug called mecapegfilgrastim can safely prevent a serious side effect of combined chemotherapy and radiation for chest cancers. The side effect, called myelosuppression, causes dangerously low white blood cell counts, increasing infection risk. Researchers will compare this new drug to standard treatments in 30 patients to see which is better at keeping blood counts stable.
