What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study asks whether a simple questionnaire, called SSPedi, can capture the symptoms that children with brain or spinal cord tumors experience while on new cancer therapies. Children aged 2 to 18 who are already part of a larger French study (SACHA) will use an app to report their symptoms. Researchers will compare these reports with side effects noted by doctors to see if the child's perspective adds valuable information for better care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
SSPedi questionnaire (a self-report tool for children to record their symptoms)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve how symptoms are captured in pediatric cancer trials, leading to better supportive care and more patient-centered outcomes.
What could go wrong
The study is observational and small (72 participants), so findings may not apply broadly. Also, children's self-reports may not always match clinician assessments.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 2 to 18 years * Patients aged 8 to 18 years who can read French, English, or Spanish fluently OR patients aged 6 to 7 years who can read French, English, or Spanish fluently, OR patients aged 2 to 7 years who cannot read fluently but whose parents can read French, English, or Spanish fluently * Patients included in the SACHA study before starting treatment * Patients with a pediatric tumor or leukemia who have failed treatment or relapsed and have no standard treatment options available OR patients receiving first-line treatment with no standard treatment options available (e.g., inoperable plexiform neurofibroma and MEK inhibitors, infantile fibrosarcoma and NTRK inhibitors) * Not eligible for an open early-phase clinical trial in France, or declining participation * Treated with a new innovative medicinal product and discussed at a RCCPI meeting under a granted early access authorization or compassionate use authorization issued by the ANSM, or receiving off-label use of a medicinal product already authorized in adults * Treated in one of the SFCE centers authorized to prescribe chemotherapy * The holders of parental authority have stated their non-opposition to their child's participation in the study after being informed. Minors will receive age-appropriate information adapted to their level of understanding. If the minor is emancipated, they will provide non-opposition directly * A patient who is prescribed another innovative therapy and is re-included in SACHA may be included again in PRO-SACHA Exclusion Criteria: * Patient who has already started the innovative treatment * Patients aged 8 years and older who cannot read * Patients whose clinical condition does not allow them to report symptoms themselves (i.e., non-communicative patient; judgment left to the investigator's discretion) * Patients currently enrolled in an early-phase trial * Refusal of participation by the patient or their legal representatives * Patient unable to express consent to participate in the study
