New study aims to predict chemo risks for seniors with cancer
NCT ID NCT07151794
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether three easy-to-use health checklists (G8, CARG, and Frailty scales) can predict chemotherapy side effects in people aged 65 and older with solid tumors. Researchers will also check if these scores relate to nutrition blood tests and the need for a drug called G-CSF. The goal is to help doctors personalize treatment and reduce harm in older patients.
