Can a blood test model flag dangerous myelosuppression before it strikes?
NCT ID NCT07819656
First seen Sep 15, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are evaluating a dynamic risk prediction model for severe myelosuppression in adults with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who receive systemic anticancer treatment. The model estimates the risk of grade 3 or higher anemia, low platelets, or low white blood cells during therapy. About 1,782 patients will give routine clinical and lab data before each treatment cycle, and doctors will follow them through treatment and for 28 days after. The study observes whether the model predicts accurately across multiple centers; it does not use predictions to change patient care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the model predicts severe myelosuppression well, doctors could one day use routine blood tests to flag high-risk patients earlier and adjust monitoring or supportive care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove the model changes outcomes. The model may not predict accurately across different hospitals, and predictions will not guide treatment during the study.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Voluntary provision of written informed consent. * Age ≥18 years. * Histologically confirmed nasopharyngeal carcinoma. * Patients who, in the judgment of the treating physician, require systemic anticancer treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of other uncontrolled serious diseases, including unstable cardiac disease requiring treatment, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (fasting blood glucose \>1.5 times the upper limit of normal), psychiatric disorders, or a history of severe allergy. * Considered unsuitable for participation in the study by the investigator.
