This study is testing a drug called lurbinectedin to see if it is safe and can control tumors in children and adults (age 10+) whose Ewing sarcoma or related cancers have come back after initial treatment. The drug is designed to target specific genetic changes that drive these t…

This study is testing if a drug called selpercatinib can make a standard thyroid cancer treatment (radioactive iodine) work better for children and young adults. It focuses on patients aged 2-25 with a specific genetic change (RET fusion) in their cancer. The goal is to see if ta…

This study is testing whether delivering healthy, frozen meals to families of children undergoing cancer treatment is a practical and helpful support. It will involve 30 families to see if the meal service is easy to use and well-liked by both parents and children. The goal is to…

This study is testing a questionnaire for families to fill out, called QUOCCAS, to see if it can accurately identify children with cancer who might have an inherited risk for the disease. It will compare the questionnaire's results to standard doctor assessments and genetic testi…

This study tests whether a computer model can predict which children in the hospital for cancer treatment are most likely to vomit in the next four days. If the model flags a child as high-risk, pharmacists will alert the medical team so they can start preventive anti-nausea medi…

This study is testing whether a special therapy program called EASE can help parents of children recently diagnosed with cancer cope with traumatic stress. Researchers will compare parents who receive the EASE program plus usual care against those who receive only usual care. The…

This study is testing if a special dissolving film containing the drug ondansetron can safely prevent vomiting in children (aged 1-14) who are receiving radiation therapy for cancer. It aims to find a better way to manage this common and distressing side effect. The trial will in…

This study is exploring whether a special, week-long camping experience can improve the psychological well-being of children and young adults with cancer. Researchers will observe and interview up to 5,000 participants to see if the camp boosts self-esteem and improves family and…

This study is testing whether a relaxation technique called guided imagery can help reduce nausea and vomiting in children receiving chemotherapy for cancer. Researchers will compare children who receive guided imagery plus standard care to those who receive standard care alone. …

This study is testing whether a structured exercise program helps children and young adults (ages 2-25) who are newly diagnosed with cancer and undergoing treatment. Researchers want to see if exercising 30 minutes, five days a week, helps maintain physical function and improves …

This study is testing whether a smartphone app can deliver art therapy to help young adults who survived childhood cancer. Fifteen participants aged 18-25 will use the app for six weeks, completing weekly art prompts and surveys about their mood. The main goal is to see if this d…

This study is testing whether a financial support program called PediRISE can be successfully offered to families of children with cancer who are facing financial hardship. It will enroll 40 low-income families, who will be randomly assigned to either receive the PediRISE program…

This study aims to understand how physical and motor rehabilitation helps children, teens, and young adults with cancer regain their functional abilities. Researchers will observe and document the real-world rehabilitation practices across many hospitals and centers in Italy. The…

This study aims to better understand why some children are born with a high genetic risk for cancer. Researchers will follow children with these inherited conditions and their family members over time, collecting health information and samples. The goal is to learn how these cond…

This study aims to understand how children and their families recover from the stress of major cancer surgery. Researchers will have children and a caregiver wear smartwatches, answer questionnaires, and provide extra blood samples during routine draws to look for patterns linked…

This study aims to collect tumor samples and health information from children and young adults with cancer, as well as survivors and healthy volunteers. Researchers will store these samples and data in a central registry to study how genetic changes in tumors relate to patient ou…

This study aims to create and test Spanish-language educational videos about pediatric cancer topics. Researchers are partnering with Spanish-speaking parents, medical interpreters, and doctors to develop these videos. The goal is to see if these videos can help improve knowledge…

This project is creating a large registry to collect information on children with cancer in French-speaking African countries. It aims to track how many children are diagnosed, what treatments they receive, and their health outcomes. The data will help local health authorities be…
