Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are children diagnosed with Stage I enucleated retinoblastoma who have undergone surgical removal of the affected eye.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with previous diseases in the study eye or those who have undergone prior treatments for retinoblastoma may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase 3 interventional study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of three cycles of chemotherapy (CEV) in patients with Stage I enucleated retinoblastoma. Participants will receive chemotherapy on a monthly basis and will be monitored for a duration of 60 months to assess treatment outcomes. The study is designed to provide insights into the potential benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy in preventing recurrence of retinoblastoma after surgical removal of the affected eye.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce the risk of cancer recurrence in children with high-risk retinoblastoma.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with adjuvant chemotherapy in similar patient populations, indicating potential for success in this approach.
