Cancer drug heart risk mystery probed in new study
NCT ID NCT06020651
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how immune checkpoint inhibitors, a type of cancer drug, might affect blood vessels and increase heart risks. Researchers measured blood vessel function and checked for related markers in 39 cancer patients before and after starting treatment. The goal was to better understand why these drugs can cause heart problems, not to test a new treatment.
