Blood drug levels may predict side effects in skin cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT03610022
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 27 people with advanced basal cell skin cancer who were taking the drug vismodegib. The goal was to see if the amount of drug in their blood was linked to side effects like muscle cramps, hair loss, and taste changes. Researchers monitored patients for 6 months to gather this information, which may help doctors adjust doses to reduce side effects in the future.
