Impact of genomic studies on pediatric solid cancers at diagnosis

Evaluation of the Clinical and Therapeutic Impact of Large Genomic Studies at Diagnosis in Pediatric Solid Cancers

University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT06171971

This study is testing how using genetic information from tumors at diagnosis can help doctors create better treatment plans for children and young adults with tough-to-treat solid cancers.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the clinical and therapeutic impact of large genomic studies conducted at the time of diagnosis in pediatric patients with solid tumors. It focuses on children and young adults up to 22 years old who have been diagnosed with solid tumors that have an unfavorable prognosis. The study will analyze molecular data from tumor or blood samples to inform personalized treatment approaches. The goal is to improve understanding and management of these challenging cancers, which currently have low survival rates.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are pediatric patients up to 22 years old with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of solid tumors that are refractory or in relapse.

Not a fit: Patients whose molecular biology results are unusable due to poor sample quality or insufficient genetic material may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective treatment strategies for pediatric patients with solid tumors.

How similar studies have performed: While genomic studies have shown promise in adult populations, this approach in pediatric solid tumors is still under consideration and represents a novel effort.
