Scientists hunt for early warning sign of dangerous infections in cancer patients

NCT ID NCT05844033

Summary

This study aims to find a more precise blood test to predict which patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or multiple myeloma are at highest risk for getting infections. Researchers will analyze blood samples from about 150 adults with these cancers over two years, looking for specific antibody patterns. The goal is to identify a biomarker that could help doctors monitor and protect vulnerable patients before serious infections occur.
