Itching clue: antibodies linked to immunotherapy side effect
NCT ID NCT05689463
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking at 100 cancer patients who have had chronic itching for over a month while on immunotherapy drugs like pembrolizumab or nivolumab. Researchers want to see if certain antibodies (BP180 and BP230) in the blood are linked to the itching. The goal is to better understand this side effect, not to test a new treatment.

What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 100 participants. It does not test a treatment, so it may not lead to direct changes in care.
