Dynamic risk prediction for severe blood cell suppression in nasopharyngeal cancer
Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Cohort Study of a Dynamic Risk Prediction Model for Treatment-Related Severe Myelosuppression in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University · NCT07819656 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests a dynamic risk model to see if it can predict grade 3 or higher anemia, low platelets, or low white blood cells during systemic therapy for adults with nasopharyngeal cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with histologically confirmed nasopharyngeal carcinoma who require systemic anticancer treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose risk profiles do not match the model's predictions or whose myelosuppression occurs independently of predicted risk may not benefit from the model.

What this trial studies
This multicenter, prospective observational study follows adults with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who are about to start systemic therapy. At each treatment cycle, researchers collect routine clinical and lab data to update a risk prediction for severe myelosuppression. The study does not modify treatment; predictions are used for research only to evaluate the model’s accuracy over the course of therapy and for 28 days after the last treatment. The goal is to understand whether the model can reliably identify patients at higher risk of treatment-related blood cell suppression. Enrollment is consecutive at participating centers, with informed consent required.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the model could help researchers understand which patients are at higher risk for severe myelosuppression during therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work in this area has shown promise for dynamic risk prediction in oncology, but similar models for NPC-related myelosuppression remain under evaluation.
