Child and Young Adult (CAYA) Cancer Outcomes Review
Official title: Improving Cancer Outcomes for Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study on Treatment Failure and Toxicity in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Run by Resonance, Inc. · NCT07246213 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project looks at past treatment results to see what affects outcomes for children and young adults (ages 0–21) with leukemia and other cancers treated at participating centers in low- and middle-income countries.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients diagnosed with any cancer between ages 0 and 21 within the 15 years before the site's activation who received substantial anti-cancer treatment at a participating center and whose medical records are available.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients treated outside participating centers, those without accessible medical records, individuals older than 21 at diagnosis, or diagnoses older than 15 years are unlikely to be included or to benefit directly.

What this trial studies
This retrospective cohort review collects medical record data from participating centers in low- and middle-income countries to describe treatment patterns and outcomes for children and young adults (0–21) diagnosed with cancer in the past 15 years, with a focus on acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma. Data will include diagnosis details, treatments (chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, immunotherapy), timing of care, comorbidities, and outcomes such as treatment failure and survival. The project aims to identify system- and patient-level factors linked to poor outcomes and to inform targeted, evidence-based interventions to reduce disparities. The registry is led by Resonance, Inc. with collaborators including Servier and site partners in Armenia, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could guide interventions and policies that reduce treatment failures and improve survival for children and young adults with cancer in LMICs.
How similar studies have gone: Retrospective registries in high-income countries have previously guided major improvements in pediatric leukemia outcomes, and smaller LMIC registry projects have shown beneficial local changes, but comprehensive multi-country CAYA outcome data in LMICs remain limited.
