About this study

Official title: GastroIntestinal Cancer in Children and Adolescents (GICCA): a SEER Population-based Study

The goal of this observational population-based cohort study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of children and adolescents with primary gastrointestinal malignancies registered in the publicly available Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 17 database during 2000-2019.

Read the detailed description

The investigators aim to describe the patient and tumor characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of children and adolescents diagnosed with primary gastrointestinal malignancies, and to analyze these data for trends over time. In addition, the investigators want to explore independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Finally, the investigators want to describe subsequent primary malignancies diagnosed among patients from the study cohort, as well as to calculate their risk of developing a second primary cancer relative to the general population. Data on children (aged 0-17 years at diagnosis) and young people aged 18-24 years at diagnosis are analyzed separately. Special focus is laid on patients with primary carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract; particularly colorectal carcinoma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Defined as the time between the date of diagnosis and the date of death from any cause (event) or date of last follow-up.

    Measured: 2000-2019

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Standardized incidence of second primary malignancies

    Standardized incidence of second primary malignancies in patients who survived (i) two or more months, or (ii) five or more years after initial gastrointestinal cancer diagnosis, relative to the general population.

    Measured: 2000-2019

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrointestinal Cancer and Colorectal Cancer, run by Paul G. Kemps, MD at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. 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?

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?

Overall survival (time frame: 2000-2019). 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 23 Jan 2023.
