NCT ID NCT07484932

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new tool called TRTRM that predicts which older cancer patients are at high risk for severe side effects from treatment. Researchers will use the tool to adjust drug doses and monitoring for patients aged 65 and older with solid tumors. The goal is to see if this approach reduces serious side effects compared to standard care.

Active substance

TRTRM-guided risk-stratified treatment strategy

What this could lead to

If successful, this tool could help doctors personalize cancer treatment for older patients, reducing severe side effects while maintaining effectiveness.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively early-stage trial with 400 participants, and the tool may not work as well in broader populations or with newer cancer therapies.
