Radiation therapy study seeks immune clues in blood
NCT ID NCT02439008
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 28 adults with liver, colorectal, melanoma, or kidney cancers who received high-dose radiation therapy. Researchers collected blood samples before, during, and after treatment to track immune cells and other markers. The goal was to learn how the immune system responds to this type of radiation, which may help improve future treatments. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
