Effect of Treatment Modality on Psychosocial Functioning of Survivors of Unilateral Retinoblastoma

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to find out about the quality of life and health in patients who had retinoblastoma in one eye (unilateral retinoblastoma), who either received treatment with chemotherapy injected directly into an artery leading to the eye (intra-arterial chemotherapy) or removal of the eye (enucleation). By quality of life, the investigators mean how the participants are feeling about being satisfied with things in their life, including, physical health, emotional health, and their ability to carry out daily activities. The investigators want to see if either treatment option would affect quality of life differently. The investigators hope that this information will help us provide better care to future children with retinoblastoma and better follow-up care for survivors of retinoblastoma.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03662776
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: retinoblastoma survivors treated with enucleation

MSK will contact all families of 1-year survivors of unilateral retinoblastoma treated with enucleation or intra-arterial chemotherapy at MSK and TCH between 2006 or later for completion of validated questionnaires integrating the BASC-3 and PROMIS surveys. The survey may be administered in-person during clinic or by mail, based upon participant preference.

: retinoblastoma survivors treated with intra-arteria chemo

MSK will contact all families of 1-year survivors of unilateral retinoblastoma treated with enucleation or intra-arterial chemotherapy at MSK and TCH between 2006 or later for completion of validated questionnaires integrating the BASC-3 and PROMIS surveys. The survey may be administered in-person during clinic or by mail, based upon participant preference.

Interventions

Behavioral: - BASC-3 survey

A comprehensive questionnaire, incorporating the BASC-3 and PROMIS measures, will be administered to parents of participants ages 8-17. The BASC-3 and PROMIS scales each have a parent and child version; these scales will be used to measure the secondary objective of parent and patient concordance rates for all participants ages 8 and older.

Behavioral: - PROMIS survey

A comprehensive questionnaire, incorporating the BASC-3 and PROMIS measures, will be administered to parents of participants ages 8-17. The BASC-3 and PROMIS scales each have a parent and child version; these scales will be used to measure the secondary objective of parent and patient concordance rates for all participants ages 8 and older.
