About this study

Official title: Retrospective and Prospective Database of COVID-19 Prevalence and Clinical Course in Pediatric and Young Adult Hematology/ Oncology/Stem Cell Therapy Patients in the New York Tri-State Area.

New York City (NYC) has become the epicenter of the worldwide pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). By collecting and summarizing the experience with other major health care providers in the tristate (New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ) and Connecticut (CT)) are, the investigators are uniquely positioned to inform the rest of the country about what to expect and how to manage children and young adults with hematological, oncological or stem cell transplant diagnoses during the pandemic.

Read the detailed description

The subjects are all pediatric hematology, oncology or stem cell transplant (HOT) children and young adults who are tested for SARS-CoV-2. The investigators will collect data including demographics, clinical characteristics, clinical courses, outcomes from the medical record.

Other information about finances, mental health, and nutrition will be ascertained by questionnaires. The subjects will be asked to allow the researchers to abstract information from their medical record, participate in an interview or telephone call (their choice) to answer questionnaires, and to provide a stool sample at three time points.

The creation of an integrated database of COVID-19 pediatric and young adult patients will better inform the pediatric hematology, oncology, and stem cell transplant community about this disease specifically related to patients undergoing HOT therapy and provide valuable evidence to develop standardized and clinically appropriate approaches to their care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of tristate area pediatric HOT patients tested for COVID-19 that completed 1 year follow-up

    To measure the success of the data registry in how many patients agreed to participate and completed the one year follow up. A confirmed case of COVID-19 is defined as a positive result on a reverse-transcriptase- polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay of a specimen collected on a nasopharyngeal swab, or a serum antibody test. Only laboratory-confirmed cases will be described as positive.

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in PROMIS T-score

    To analyze effect of COVID-19 on patients and their families mental health. PROMIS® (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) is a set of person-centered measures that evaluates and monitors physical, mental, and social health in adults and children. Each item on the measure is rated on a 5-point scale (1=never; 2=rarely; 3=sometimes; 4=often; and 5=always) with a range in score from 8 to 40 with higher scores indicating greater severity of depression.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 Months, 6 Months

  2. Number of collected and analyzed stool samples

    To examine if the pandemic has effects on the patients' nutrition and microbiome. Each patient is given an opportunity to provide stool samples in addition to survey response.

    Measured: Up to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pediatric Cancer and Immune System Disorder, run by Columbia University at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2023. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Number of tristate area pediatric HOT patients tested for COVID-19 that completed 1 year follow-up (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 May 2023.
