Childhood Cancer Predisposition Study (CCPS)

Study on Genetic Risk Factors for Childhood Cancer

Recruiting
All
Phase N/A

Childhood Cancer Predisposition Study (CCPS) is a research effort looking into kids at higher risk for cancer. A predisposition syndrome means these children have genes that might make them more likely to get cancer. This study will gather data and samples from these kids and their family members to learn more about cancer. Scientists hope these findings will help better detect, prevent, and treat cancer in kids.

The study will include 350 children and 700 relatives each year. It involves regular check-ins at least once a year to track health changes. The study also creates a biorepository, a special collection of tissue samples, to help with future research.

  • Participants will have yearly follow-ups.
  • Requires family members to join too.
  • No treatment involved, just data collection.

Kids under 21 who have been diagnosed or suspected to have a cancer predisposition syndrome can join. Their parents and siblings might participate too. If a child has a family history of cancer but doesn't have the syndrome, they cannot join this study.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
