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.

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.

Additional Details

This is a randomized Phase II trial evaluating the addition of the Pediatric Cancer Resource Equity (PediCARE) health equity intervention to usual supportive care for poverty-exposed children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: Usual Supportive Care vs.#46; PediCARE + Usual Supportive Care. Randomization means a participant is placed into a group by chance. Participation in this research study is expected to last 6-months. It is expected about 130 people will participate in this research study.
