Kidney trouble may skew chemo safety test – new study aims to fix that
NCT ID NCT07124403
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether kidney problems interfere with a common blood test used to check how well patients break down certain chemotherapy drugs (fluoropyrimidines). Researchers will measure DPD enzyme activity in about 742 people with breast or digestive cancer, kidney failure, or both. The goal is to make sure the test correctly identifies patients at risk of severe side effects, so doses can be adjusted safely.
