Development of Asian Consortium for Data Collection and Clinical Trial of CNS Tumors

Study Purpose

  • - Primary Establishing an Asian consortium to establish a database of pediatric CNS tumors in the prospective manner The target disease of this research focuses on pediatric tumors, and initially the registration of patients with CNS GCT will begin first.
  • - Secondary Developing clinical protocols for pediatric CNS tumors based in Asia.
Registration period for research subjects: 2022-08-01 - 2027-12-31 Duration of medical records to be utilized: to 2030-12-31 Total projected duration of research: IRB approved to 2032-12-31 Interim assessment of data quality and integrity: 6 Mo after Data collection Evaluation for the Adaptation of Protocols: 1 and 2 years after the initiation of the study Analysis of Quality of Life and other questionnaires: 3 and 5 years Interim Analysis of all data: 5 years (2027) Final analysis of treatment outcome: 2032

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
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.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - A patient who was diagnosed with CNS GCT and agreed to participate in the research between 2022-2027.
  • - Patients diagnosed between 2016-2022 can be enrolled if the participating institute has IRB approval for recruiting these patients as separate IRB document (Seoul Asan Hospital) or by comprehensive IRB document (Singapore NCC, Taiwan Medical University), or by recruitment on the basis of acquirement of the consent form for research (NCC, Korea).
  • - The age at the time of diagnosis is 0< ≤40 years.
  • - A patent who has been diagnosed with the relevant tumor via an operation or a biopsy ⑤ In the case of CNS germinoma, a biopsy may not have been performed on a patient.
In this case, the patient may register as germinoma if he or she meets the following criteria: -Germinoma is strongly suspected radiologically, and a tumor marker from serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has not increased above the institute's reference normal value; -Germinoma is suspected radiologically, and a tumor marker from serum or CSF has elevated above the institute's reference normal value (tumor markers may be AFP or hCG)

Exclusion Criteria:

① The patient or the guardian of the patient did not consent to participate.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05982691
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

  • - A patient who was diagnosed with CNS GCT and agreed to participate in the research between 2022-2027.
  • - Patients diagnosed between 2016-2022 can be enrolled if the participating institute has IRB approval for recruiting these patients as separate IRB document (Seoul Asan Hospital) or by comprehensive IRB document (Singapore NCC, Taiwan Medical University), or by recruitment on the basis of acquirement of the consent form for research (NCC, Korea).
  • - The age at the time of diagnosis is 0< ≤40 years.
  • - A patent who has been diagnosed with the relevant tumor via an operation or a biopsy ⑤In the case of CNS germinoma, a biopsy may not have been performed on a patient.
In this case, the patient may register as germinoma if he or she meets the following criteria: -Germinoma is strongly suspected radiologically, and a tumor marker from serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has not increased above the institute's reference normal value;
  • - Germinoma is suspected radiologically, and a tumor marker from serum or CSF has elevated above the institute's reference normal value (tumor markers may be AFP or hCG) ①The patient or the guardian of the patient did not consent to participate.
  • - The patient refuses the treatment plan when the treatment is not completed.
  • - The consent to participate has been rescinded in the process of data collection after the completion of the treatment.
③The research subject expresses the intention to rescind the consent to participate after the subject reaches the age of majority. Managers at Korean institutions who agreed to participate in the research are charged with the registration of patient information. Internationally, researchers in each institution in Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Korea which agreed to participate in the research enter the information by logging into a registration system. Each institution obtained approval from its respective institutional review board.
