Cash aid for childhood cancer families tested in new study
NCT ID NCT06283251
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether families of children with cancer are willing to join a program that provides financial support. About 40 families will be randomly assigned to either receive the PediRISE support program or standard care. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and can help reduce financial stress and disparities.

Inclusion Criteria Cohort 1: Poverty-exposed children with cancer receiving front-line cancer-directed therapy 1. Child diagnosed with de novo cancer 2. Child has established care at a study site and initiated cancer directed therapy in the prior 2-months 3. Child planned to receive at least 4-months of cancer-directed therapy at study site from time of diagnosis per initial cancer treatment plan 4. Child is \<18 years at time of enrollment 5. Parent/guardian screened positive for self-reported low-income (\<200% FPL) 6. Family primary residence in CA, CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY or RI 7. Provider approval for permission to approach Cohort 2: Poverty-exposed children with cancer undergoing HSCT 1. Child undergoing allogeneic HSCT for treatment of cancer 2. Child has established care at a study site and is between 30 days prior to start of planned conditioning through day +7 of HSCT at time of enrollment 3. Child planned to receive follow-up care after discharge for HSCT at study site 4. Child is \<18 years at the time of enrollment 5. Parent/guardian screen positive for self-reported low-income (\<200% FPL) 6. Family primary residence in CA, CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY or RI 7. Provider approval for permission to approach Exclusion Criteria Cohort 1: Poverty-exposed children with cancer receiving front-line cancer-directed therapy 1. Planned transfer of child to a non-DFCI or non-Columbia facility for cancer-directed therapy 2. Foreign national family receiving care as an Embassy-pay patient 3. Child is enrolled on embedded correlative health equity aims of open or upcoming clinical drug trials which are powered on descriptive parent-reported poverty data (e.g. AALL1731, DFCI 25-001). Co-enrollment on a poverty intervention study would confound the specified endpoints of these open trial correlative studies 4. Child or household member receiving SSI Cohort 2: Poverty-exposed children with cancer undergoing HSCT 1. Planned transfer of child to a non-DFCI, non-Columbia, or non UCSF facility for cancer-directed therapy 2. Foreign national family receiving care as an Embassy-pay patient 3. Child is enrolled on embedded correlative health equity aims of open or upcoming clinical drug trials which are powered on descriptive parent-reported poverty data (e.g. AALL1731, DFCI 25-001). Co-enrollment on a poverty intervention study would confound the specified endpoints of these open trial correlative studies 4. Child previously received RISE intervention 5. Child or household member receiving SSI
