Chemotherapy drug exposure study for physiotherapists
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether physiotherapists who treat patients recently given chemotherapy are exposed to those drugs. Researchers will measure contamination inside and outside the body to see if safety steps are needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a state-certified physiotherapist (or equivalent) and work in a selected hospital department.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You do the study treatment on a patient who got one of the listed chemotherapy drugs through an IV 4 to 72 hours earlier.
- The treatment you give is massage, manual/lymphatic drainage, limb movement, or breathing physiotherapy.
- The patient is not in a protected area or on septic isolation.
- You are not currently on or have not had one of the study chemotherapy drugs in the last 2 months, and no one or pet in your household is either.

This trial looks at how healthcare workers handle chemotherapy drugs safely. It aims to improve knowledge and practices to protect workers from exposure.
This observational study looks at how common environmental chemicals may build up in firefighters, measured with urine samples before and after exposure. It may help researchers understand potential health risks in this job—even though you won’t receive study medicine.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (gut microbiome) to see how it is affected by pelvic side effects from cancer treatment, and whether ozone therapy might help. It compares patients who have chronic pelvic side effects and are treated with ozone (cases) to those who do not have these side effects (controls).
This study looks at how chemotherapy affects your sense of body position. It compares people who have had breast cancer surgery with or without chemotherapy to healthy volunteers.
This study asks cancer patients receiving chemotherapy as an outpatient (at a clinic rather than hospital admission) to share their experiences and thoughts about their care. The goal is to help doctors and nurses better understand what matters most to patients and improve how they provide treatment.
This study looks at why some people feel very tired during cancer treatment. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples to study how the body responds to chemotherapy and radiation.
