Blood test may help Fine-Tune breast cancer medication levels
NCT ID NCT06572800
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a blood test called DiviTum-TKa can help doctors check if patients with metastatic breast cancer are taking their CDK4/6 inhibitor medication correctly and if other drugs are interfering. The test measures a marker of cell growth to see if the treatment is working well. The goal was to see if adjusting medication based on test results could improve treatment response in 34 patients.
