Blood particles may predict chemo nerve pain
NCT ID NCT07558447
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether tiny particles in the blood, called extracellular vesicles, can predict nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. Researchers will follow 120 adults with various cancers who are receiving specific chemo drugs. Participants give blood samples and answer questionnaires before, during, and after treatment. The goal is to find a way to identify patients at higher risk for nerve damage, so doctors can monitor and manage it better.
