Filter by:Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common form of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The traditional first line treatment for patients with advanced DTC after surgical resection is radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. However, less than a quarter of patients with lung metastases will achieve a complete response to RAI therapy, and this therapy carries the risk of pulmonary fibrosis and an increasingly recognized risk of secondary malignancies.
This study comprises both Phase I and Phase II research. This phase focuses on safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics using a "3+3" dose escalation design with three dose groups: 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 6 mg/kg. The drug will be administered in combination with the standard regimen for intermediate/high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma once every three weeks (Q3W). In phase II study, all subjects will receive Pucotenlimab combined with the standard regimen for intermediate/high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma for 2-4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy every 3 weeks (Q3W), followed by surgery.
In China, pediatric tumors are the second leading cause of death in children. Radiotherapy is critical to the treatment of pediatric cancer, with about one-third of patients requiring it and nearly 50% for certain cancers, but young age and immature cognitive abilities pose challenges for precise positioning, leading to reliance on sedatives such as propofol or chloral hydrate, which pose health risks. Radiotherapy technicians are exploring new methods such as psychological interventions, but these methods are challenging for children aged 0-4, who account for a high proportion of pediatric cancer cases in China. Therefore, new methods for children aged 0-4 are urgently needed.
To evaluate the ability of a multidisciplinary and multisite group, the Pediatric Evolutionary Tumor Board (pedsETB), to develop additional therapeutic strategies in patients without curative options or with suboptimal outcomes.
The goal of this two-site phase III randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel psychotherapeutic intervention called Emotion and Symptom-focused Engagement (EASE) in parents caring for a child or adolescent with cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does EASE reduce traumatic stress symptom severity (primary outcome)? To do so, researchers will compare parents receiving EASE to usual care. Participants in both groups will complete questionnaires package at enrolment, and 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and 6 months after enrolment. They will also be invited to participate in optional qualitative interviews to better understand their experience.
Exploratory study to evaluate the effect and safety of the use of Ocoxin® oral solution on the quality of life of paediatric patients with advanced stage solid tumours.
This study is being done to learn whether a telehealth intervention called "Internet-Based Parent Child Interaction Therapy," or I-PCIT," can help parents improve the child's behavior if the child currently or previously went through cancer treatment. Parents who choose to be in this study will complete a survey to help researchers figure out if the parent is eligible for the larger study. If a parent is eligible for the larger study and chooses to participate, if so, the participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the I-PCIT intervention now or to be on a waitlist and begin I-PCIT in 5-6 months. The whole study consists of completing I-PCIT sessions with a clinician and completing 3-4 follow-up surveys after the initial screener survey.
Clinical practices are crucial experiences for nursing students as they prepare themselves for future nursing work. Despite some research having been studied among Taiwanese nursing students in the past, there has been limited research into the experiences within pediatric oncology wards, where diseases are complex and frequently involve life-and-death issues. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of undergraduate nursing students in pediatric oncology wards.
This is a randomized Phase II trial evaluating the addition of the Pediatric Cancer Resource Equity (PediCARE) health equity intervention to usual supportive care for poverty-exposed children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. The names of the intervention groups in this research study are: - Usual supportive care - PediCARE + usual supportive care
This study will explore the potential benefits of a virtual reality gaming program that focuses on mindfulness and exercise among pediatric cancer rehabilitation patients. The program will last 8 weeks outside of the hospital. Participants will start immediately in the hospital (immediate start group) or wait 8 weeks after hospital discharge to start the program (waitlist control group).
