New study tackles bone pain caused by chemo-boosting drug
NCT ID NCT07192770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watched 225 people with solid tumors who got a drug called G-CSF during chemotherapy. G-CSF can cause bone pain. Researchers measured pain levels and tracked what treatments (like pain relievers or other methods) helped. They also checked quality of life, fatigue, mood, and sleep. The goal was to learn better ways to manage this side effect.

Who is studied
Adult male and female patients (aged 18-70 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed solid tumors, receiving chemotherapy and prophylactic G-CSF at Ankara Etlik City Hospital. Participants will be consecutively recruited, without randomization, as part of routine clinical care. The study population represents a real-world oncology cohort, designed to capture the prevalence, severity, and management of G-CSF-induced bone pain and related quality-of-life outcomes.
