NCT ID NCT05100342
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a simple scoring system to predict whether people with metastatic cancer will survive at least 30 days after starting palliative radiation therapy. The score uses lab results, emergency room visits, and cancer type. About 214 adults will join to see if the tool helps doctors make better treatment decisions.
