Liquid biopsy study halted: did it help guide cancer care?
NCT ID NCT06290856
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) could help doctors make better treatment decisions for people with advanced cancers of the colon, pancreas, or bile duct. Researchers planned to enroll about 130 participants but stopped early with only 16 enrolled. The main goal was to check if the test results actually led to changes in diagnosis or treatment.
