ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding and preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy or radiation treatment in children and adolescents with cancer. These symptoms, known as chemotherapy- or radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (CRVN), are common and can be very distressing for both young patients and their families. The goal of the study is to find out which children and teenagers are most at risk of experiencing these symptoms, so that doctors can take steps to prevent them before treatment begins.

To participate in this trial, children and teens must be receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy at a specific pediatric cancer center. If they are under 18, at least one parent must agree to their participation. It's important to note that the study will not include patients who have difficulty understanding French or those under legal protection. Participants can expect to be part of a study that aims to improve their treatment experience by reducing the likelihood of nausea and vomiting, ultimately helping them feel more comfortable during their cancer care.
