Study of Kidney Tumors in Younger Patients

Researching kidney tumors in young patients through a clinical trial.

Phase N/A

This study is about **kidney tumors in children**. Researchers collect samples from the tumor, blood, and urine to learn about DNA changes and find cancer markers. **DNA** is the material in our cells that carries genetic information. They hope this will help doctors understand and treat kidney tumors better. The study includes collecting samples, having CT scans, and MRIs, which are special pictures of the inside of the body.

Key Points:

  • Participants will have follow-ups for 5 years.
  • Samples and scans are needed for the study.
  • Parental consent is required for children's participation.

To join, a child must have a kidney tumor found by a CT scan or MRI. Many types of kidney tumors are included, like Wilms' tumor and others. Samples and reports must be collected and submitted. If everything isn't submitted in 120 days, the child will be out of the study. Parents need to sign a consent form, and all study rules must be followed. This research could help scientists find new ways to treat kidney tumors in kids.

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.
