About this study

Objectives:

The overall objective of this prospective study is to provide a descriptive analysis of the quality of life of cancer patients enrolled on M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Protocol 2009-0528, "A Phase II Study of Hyperthermic Peritoneal Perfusion (HIPEC) for Adolescent and Young Adults with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT) and Other Non-carcinomas".

Specific Aim 1: To examine the quality of life of patients who undergo HIPEC longitudinally. It is hypothesized that physical health and functioning concerns, as reported by parent/child dyads on the Pediatric Quality of Life Cancer Module Version 3.0 (PedsQL) and the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales, will will remain stable or improve, following the surgical procedures and peritoneal perfusion described in Protocol 2009-0528.

Specific Aim 2: To assess parent and patient perception of the relative benefit of HIPEC longitudinally. It is hypothesized that parents and patients will perceive HIPEC to be beneficial across time, despite the temporary postoperative pain and discomfort that is associated with the procedure. This will be done by means of a non-validated question that is specific to the surgery.

Exploratory Aim: To determine whether quality of life following HIPEC varies by demographic factors (e.g., age, culture), intraoperative cisplatin dose level, or subsequent treatment modalities. Some patients who undergo HIPEC might subsequently be treated with other Phase II chemotherapy agents and/or palliative radiation, and comparing quality of life in these subgroups will be of value. Also the quality of life for groups of patients enrolled in Protocol 2009-0528 at each intraoperative cisplatin dose level will be compared.

Child Participant:

Study Participation:

If you agree to take part in this study, you will complete questionnaires about your quality of life. If you do not want to participate in this study, your parent or caregiver may still participate and complete the parent/caregiver questionnaires if he/she chooses.

The questionnaires will ask about your experiences with pain, nausea, anxiety, worry, thinking and reasoning ability, physical appearance, communication, and your emotional, social, school, and physical functioning. Both questionnaires should take about 10 minutes to complete in total, or longer if you need more time. You will also be asked about whether you worry about the surgery being effective.

If you are 4 years old or younger, your parent/caregiver will fill out the questionnaires for you.

If you are between 5 and 7 years old, the interviewer will go over the questionnaires with you.

If you are between 8 and 18 years old, you will fill out the questionnaires on your own.

The questionnaires will be filled out in the week before the surgery, 1 month after the surgery, 3 months and 6 months after the surgery.

You will only come in if you already have a scheduled visit because of the study you are presently on. However, if you are no longer on that study then you will still be asked to complete the questionnaires at the 1, 3 and 6-month time points. This can be done by telephone or at other regularly scheduled visits at those time points.

Length of Study:

Your participation in this study will be over after you finish the 6-month questionnaires.

This is an investigational study. Up to 20 parents and 20 children will participate in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

Parent/Caregiver Participant:

Parent Participation:

If you agree to take part in this study, you will complete questionnaires about your perception of your child's quality of life. If your child does not want to participate in this study, you may still participate and complete the parent/caregiver questionnaire, if you so choose. If your child is too ill to participate in this study, you will not be asked to complete his/her questionnaires on his/her behalf.

The questionnaires will ask about your child's quality of life regarding pain, nausea, anxiety, worry, cognitive functioning (thinking and reasoning), physical appearance, communication, and his or her emotional, social, school, and physical functioning. Both questionnaires should take about 10 minutes to complete in total.

You will also be asked a surgery-specific question about whether your child worries about the effectiveness of the surgery.

Length of Study:

Your participation in this study will be over after completion of the 6-month questionnaires.

This is an investigational study. Up to 20 parents and 20 children will participate in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scale

    The mean change in PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Total Score over time (i.e., prior to operation vs. 6-months post-operation. The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core will be administered to each child to ascertain their quality of life at the two time points).

    Measured: 6 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peritoneal Neoplasms, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scale (time frame: 6 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Oct 2018.
