Filter by:The trial SCCCG-BL/DLBCL-2017 is a collaborative prospective, multicenters, non-randomized, observational, cohort clinical study with participating centers of the South China Children's Cancer Group-Non-Hodgkin lymphoma group(SCCCG-NHL). The aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of stratified treatment based on risk factors of childhood and adolescents Burkitt lymphoma(BL)/diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) patients in china.
Palliative care has received considerable attention in Taiwan in recent years. The relevant research has been widely conducted for palliative care in adult population. However, the research in children population is relatively insufficient. In the limited studies, most of them are the experiences generated from individual institutions. This study is going to retrieve the data from 2008-2017 National Health Insurance Research Database, Cancer Registry Database, Death Registry Database and other relevant materials in order to analyze the trends of using pediatric palliative care service, the types of services, the timing of initiating palliative care, and the preference of using palliative care service among different life span in the past decade. In addition, the study will examine the differences of the timing of initiating of pediatric palliative care service and the types of diseases among different characteristics of children and healthcare providers. And the study will discuss how pediatric palliative care services affect medical costs.
The purpose of the study is to determine the recommended dose of durvalumab and tremelimumab (immunotherapy drugs) in pediatric patients with advanced solid and hematological cancers and expand in a second phase to test the efficacy of these drugs once this dose is determined.
Chemotherapy places patients at an increased risk of infection. A medication called granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is given as a daily injection in order to help decrease the risk of infection. The purpose of this study is to determine the best time to begin granulocyte colony-stimulating factor while maintaining the same clinical benefits. The current study aims to fill these research gaps and address the general question: Can G-CSF safely be given 72 hours following the last day of chemotherapy without increasing the incidence of febrile neutropenia, the duration of neutropenia, or causing increased delays in the next course of chemotherapy.
This study evaluates the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in addition to standard therapy in children receiving chemotherapy or blood and/or marrow transplantation to decrease the risk of bleeding. Half of participants will receive tranexamic acid and half of participants will receive placebo.
The ultimate aim of this registry is to collect precise information concerning the children coming to oncology units working with the French African Oncology Group. This data will help to plan and provide correct pediatric oncology treatment and care for this population. Collecting the data will give much needed information on numbers, stage, treatment and outcome. The register will give data for local and national health authorities in planning pediatric cancer programs.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of an randomised-controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of liquid probiotics to prevent or reduce mucositis and infection in children diagnosed with cancer who are undergoing treatment with regimes likely to cause mucositis.
This is a 2 strata pilot trial within the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC). The study will use a new treatment approach based on each patient's tumor gene expression, whole-exome sequencing (WES), targeted panel profile (UCSF 500 gene panel), and RNA-Seq. The current study will test the efficacy of such an approach in children with High-grade gliomas HGG.
Sugammadex is a selective antidote to muscle relaxants rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, a compound that selectively binds rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. It forms a complex with them in the blood plasma, which leads to the decrease in the concentration of muscle relaxant binding to nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular synapse. The result is the the elimination of neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is used to eliminate neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide in children aged 2 years and adolescents in standard clinical situations. The aim of the study is to prove the efficacy and safety of sugammadex in children under 2 years
To explore metabolic phenotypes of children with extra-cranial solid tumors and compare these with their histopathological and genetic alterations to discover potential novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets to improve outcomes in children with high risk disease.
