New pill aims to stop Chemotherapy's dangerous blood side effect

NCT ID NCT07492693

Summary

This study is testing if a drug called hetrombopag can safely prevent a dangerous drop in platelets (cells that help blood clot) caused by chemotherapy in people with stomach, colon, or other gastrointestinal cancers. It will enroll 40 patients who are at risk for this side effect. Participants will take the pill daily for 14 days during their chemo cycle to see if it keeps their platelet counts high enough to avoid treatment delays or transfusions.
