Project: Every Child for Younger Patients With Cancer

This study, called Project: Every Child, is collecting health information from children, adolescents, and young adults (up to 25 years old) who have cancer. The goal is to gather information over time to help doctors find better ways to treat and care for younger patients with various cancers, including adrenal gland pheochromocytoma, carcinoma in situ, central nervous system neoplasm, childhood immature teratoma, and childhood kidney neoplasm. Researchers will review medical charts and collect cytology specimens (samples of cells). The main goal is to see how many patients agree to have their biological samples stored for future research. This study is observational, meaning it watches and collects information rather than testing a new treatment. It aims to enroll 75,000 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning it collects health information without testing a new treatment. It plans to enroll 75,000 participants.
What's involved
You would undergo cytology specimen collection and have your medical data reviewed. Enrollment must happen within 6 months of initial disease presentation or other specific events.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, consent to biobanking, is measured at Baseline. The study aims to collect information over time.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Enrollment must occur within 6 months of initial disease presentation OR within 6 months of refractory disease, disease progression, disease recurrence, second or secondary malignancy, or post-mortem
Patients previously enrolled on ACCRN07 are eligible to enroll on Tracking Outcome, Registry and Future Contact components of APEC14B1 any time after they reach age of majority
Patients with a known or suspected neoplasm that occurs in the pediatric, adolescent or young adult populations are eligible for enrollment as follows:
All cancer cases with an International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) histologic behavior code of one "1" (borderline), two "2" (carcinoma in situ) or three "3" (malignant)
All neoplastic lesions of the central nervous system regardless of behavior, i.e., benign, borderline or malignant
All neoplastic lesions of the kidney regardless of behavior, i.e., benign, borderline or malignant
The following other benign/borderline conditions:
Mesoblastic nephroma
Teratomas (mature and immature types)
Myeloproliferative diseases including transient myeloproliferative disease
Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Lymphoproliferative diseases
Desmoid tumors
Gonadal stromal cell tumors
Neuroendocrine tumors including pheochromocytoma
Melanocytic tumors, except clearly benign nevi
Ganglioneuromas
Subjects must be =\< 25 years of age at time of original diagnosis, except for patients who are being screened specifically for eligibility onto a COG (or COG participating National Clinical Trials Network \[NCTN\]) therapeutic study, for which there is a higher upper age limit
All patients or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a written informed consent and agree to participate in at least one component of the study; parents will be asked to sign a separate consent for their own biospecimen submission
If patients or their parents or legally authorized representatives have not signed the Part A subject consent form at the time of a diagnostic bone marrow procedure, it is recommended that they initially provide consent for drawing extra bone marrow using the Consent for Collection of Additional Bone Marrow; consent using the Part A subject consent form must be provided prior to any other procedures for eligibility screening or banking under APEC14B1
  • Number of patients who consented to biobankingBaseline

    The number of patients who agree to be in the Biobanking part of the study and have leftover tumor tissue and some normal blood, bone marrow, or other tissue saved for future research.
