Immune Function and Response to Vaccination After Cancer Therapy in Pediatric Patients

NCT04948619 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 64

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pediatric cancer survivors have increased infection-related morbidity and mortality. This study will evaluate immune dysfunction following cancer directed systemic therapy completion, with attention to clinical relevance and infection rate in this population compared to healthy siblings, when applicable. The investigators will also restart vaccinations at earlier time points than previously studied, at 3 months post therapy, and will assess whether boosters or revaccination schedules are superior for regaining immunity against potentially serious infections in survivors.

Conditions

  • Pediatric Cancer

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Vaccine

Patients will have lab evaluations for immune function at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 24 months post completion of treatment. At 3 months off therapy, patients with abnormal vaccine antibody titers will be randomized to receive either single booster vaccines or to begin a full revaccination series that models post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant vaccination strategies.
