Genetic Analysis in Identifying Late-Occurring Complications in Childhood Cancer Survivors

Studying genes to find late complications in childhood cancer survivors.

99 years and younger
All
Phase N/A

This study looks at people who survived childhood cancer to see if they might have health problems later on. These problems, called complications, might happen years after cancer treatment. The study checks if a person's genes (which are like instructions in our bodies) can help predict these complications. Complications could include heart failure, bone problems, stroke, or new cancers.

Key Points:

  • Participants will provide a blood or saliva sample for genetic study.
  • No recent cancer treatment is required, but the patient should have had a cancer diagnosis before age 21.
  • Participants must be actively followed by their medical institution and give consent to join the study.

To join, you must be under active follow-up within the last 24 months and be willing to provide a sample for analysis. This study is important because it might help doctors find out which survivors need more careful long-term follow-up. Participants will not need to undergo any new treatments as part of the study, but they must give permission for their data to be used.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
