OBJECTIVES:

  • To use a simple 2-page survey to gather preliminary information on why patients or parents/guardians (if patient is a minor) do or do not agree to participate in the optional pharmacokinetic portion of a phase I treatment study while consenting to participate in the phase I treatment study.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients or parents/guardians (if patient is a minor) complete a short questionnaire on the reasons for agreeing/declining to participation in the optional pharmacokinetic sampling component of the phase I clinical trial.

Patient demographics and other relevant information are collected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors and Leukemia, run by Children's Oncology Group.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 21 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Correlation between study questionnaire answers and patient demographics (time frame: Length of study). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Oct 2015.
