Spit test could predict dangerous drug reaction in leukemia patients

NCT ID NCT03568266

Summary

This study aims to understand why some patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) develop serious liver damage from a key chemotherapy drug called asparaginase. Researchers will collect saliva samples from up to 500 patients to look for specific genetic markers. The goal is to find clues in a person's genes that might predict who is at higher risk for this side effect before treatment begins.
