Blood test may predict immunotherapy success in Women's cancers
NCT ID NCT05914974
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether changes in a blood marker called CRP can help predict how well immunotherapy works in women with advanced gynecologic cancers (cervical, endometrial, ovarian, or vulvar). Researchers will track CRP levels in 120 women receiving immunotherapy plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see if CRP patterns can forecast tumor shrinkage or longer survival, which could help doctors personalize treatment.
