Could ditching routine premeds boost chemo Patients' Well-Being?
NCT ID NCT07478315
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether breast cancer patients can safely stop taking allergy-preventing medications before weekly paclitaxel after two doses without a reaction. Researchers want to see if stopping these drugs improves quality of life, since they can cause side effects like insomnia and fatigue. The study will compare two groups of 50 patients: one that continues premedication and one that stops after two safe doses.
