NCT ID NCT02610413

First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study examines DNA from 354 breast cancer patients who received bevacizumab to find genetic changes linked to high blood pressure caused by the drug. Researchers compare patients who developed severe hypertension with those who did not. The goal is to identify gene variants that predict this side effect, which could help personalize treatment in the future.
