Immune Function and Response to Vaccination After Cancer Therapy in Pediatric Patients
Pediatric cancer survivors have increased infection-related morbidity and mortality. This study will evaluate immune dysfunction following cancer directed systemic therapy completion, with attention to clinical relevance and infection rate in this population compared to healthy siblings, when applicable. The investigators will also restart vaccinations at earlier time points than previously …
Granulocyte Transfusions After Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant
Although most children with leukaemia are cured using drugs (chemotherapy) alone, for some children additional treatments are needed. Stem cell transplant can cure children where chemotherapy and other drugs have failed. In this case, the immune cells of the donor attack the leukaemia cells of the patient. Cord blood collected …
Music Therapy With Cancer Affected Children and Their Families
Background: Pediatric oncology patients and their families are in an existentially threatening situation for which music therapy has proven as a cross-linguistic field of action: the creative act of making music offers the possibility of strengthening individual competences and makes socio-psycho-biological conflicts tangible in a very direct way. Although music …
Multisite Implementation of COMPRENDO
COMPRENDO (ChildhOod Malignancy Peer Research NavigatiOn) is a multi-site randomized clinical trial (RCT) that uses a Hybrid Type 1 design, to test the effects of a clinical intervention on patient-level outcomes, while exploring multilevel implementation factors that can inform real-world setting implementation. This study will test the impact of COMPRENDO, …
IMPACT: IMplementation of Physical Activity for Children and Adolescents on Treatment
Physical activity can enhance well-being among youth diagnosed with oncological or hematological diseases. We developed a tailored, 1:1, online physical activity program (i.e., IMPACT), to promote physical activity in this cohort. The proposed single-group, mixed-methods project will assess the effect of IMPACT and explore markers of implementation.
Care Bundle Containing Chlorhexidine Dressing on Port Catheter and Central Venous Catheters
In order to provide treatment in pediatric hematology-oncology patients, in some cases a central venous catheter is required in children. The most important situation to pay attention to when using a central venous catheter is "Central line-associated bloodstream infections". These infections are infections that develop after admission to the hospital …
Ondansetron Orodispersible Film for Vomiting Prevention in Pediatric Radiotherapy
The goal of this study is to evaluate the antiemetic efficacy and drug safety of ondansetron orodispersible film in pediatric patients with malignant tumors who received moderate emetic risk radiation induced vomiting, and to formulate reasonable and effective clinical medication regimen for preventing vomiting caused by moderate emetic risk radiation …
Shareholder-driven Co-design and Piloting of Spanish Educational Videos About High Yield Pediatric Oncology Topics
Families of children with cancer who speak languages other than English experience inequalities in healthcare, but little research has been done on solutions to improve care for these families. This study will partner parents with medical interpreters and clinicians to create educational videos about key cancer topics in Spanish and …
Medically Tailored Meals for Kids
The purpose of this project is to learn whether an intervention that provides households with home-delivered healthy, frozen meals tailored to illness related conditions for 12 weeks during a child's treatment for serious illness is feasible and acceptable to the child and parent mainly responsible for the child's care.
Assessment of Remote Approaches for Identification of Autonomic Dysfunction Among Survivors of Leukemia and Lymphoma
This study seeks to determine if diagnosing cardiac autonomic dysfunction (AD) can be done remotely with the same accuracy as in-person testing. If so, the identification of AD could happen sooner, facilitating remote studies of the condition and potentially reducing the risk of illness. Childhood cancer survivors, particularly survivors of …
