What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 3 cycles chemotherapyDrug

    Also called vincristine, carboplatin, etoposide.

    Chemotherapy: vincristine 0.05 mg/kg (or 1.5 mg/m2 for children ≥ 3 years of age) on Day 1, carboplatin 18.6 mg/kg (or 560 mg/m2 for children ≥ 3 years of age) on Day 1, etoposide 5.0 mg/kg/day (or 150 mg/ m2 for children ≥ 3 years of age) on Days 1 and 2 and 2. Cycles were repeated every 21 days for three cycles.

  • 6 cycles chemotherapyDrug

    Also called vincristine, carboplatin, etoposide.

    Chemotherapy: vincristine 0.05 mg/kg (or 1.5 mg/m2 for children ≥ 3 years of age) on Day 1, carboplatin 18.6 mg/kg (or 560 mg/m2 for children ≥ 3 years of age) on Day 1, etoposide 5.0 mg/kg/day (or 150 mg/ m2 for children ≥ 3 years of age) on Days 1 and 2 and 2. Cycles were repeated every 21 days for six cycles.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. disease-free survival

    measure the disease-free survival rate for the two groups at five years

    Measured: five years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. overall survival

    time from randomization to death as a result of any cause at five years

    Measured: five years

  2. safety: side effects of chemotherapy in the Treatment of Retinoblastoma

    Number of participants with side effects (systemic check-up, audio acuity, ect)before each treatment, at 1,3,6,9,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60 months after the treatment.

    Measured: five years

  3. quality of life (PedsQL4.0 scale) in the Treatment of Retinoblastoma

    quality of life (PedsQL4.0 scale) before each treatment, at 1,3,6,9,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60 months after the treatment. PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire has two modules (reported by parents and children) with 23 items encompassing the physical domains (8 items), emotional (5 items), social (5 items) and school (5 items). A five scores scale is used, after being asked, ''How much, in the last month, your child has had problems with'' (0 = never a problem; 1 = almost never a problem; 2 = sometimes a problem; 3 = is often a problem and 4 = almost always a problem). The items are reverse-score and linearly transformed to a scale from 0 to 100 (0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4 = 0). So high scores indicate better QoL.

    Measured: five years

  4. economic burden due to chemotherapy

    All costs, including direct cost and indirect cost, are expressed in Chinese YUAN. Direct costs include the average cost of systemic chemotherapy, operation, supportive treatment, and examination. Indirect costs include accommodation, transportation, diet, and lost income of parents.

    Measured: during chemotherapy (9 weeks for 3-cycle group, and 18 weeks for 6-cycle group)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 3 cycles chemotherapy and 6 cycles chemotherapy in people with Retinoblastoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

disease-free survival (time frame: five years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01906814, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Apr 2024.
