Therapeutic Recommendations For The Treatment Of Children With A Retinoblastoma (GFARB12019)

February 27, 2026 updated by: French Africa Pediatric Oncology Group
As the survival of children with retinoblastoma in high income countries is higher than 95% including the bilateral forms this study hopes to improve the outcome in low income countries in Africa by improving early diagnosis and early implementation of this protocol of therapeutic recommendations for treatment.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this study we will try to improve the outcome for children with stage II disease. It is hoped that we will be able to show that with early intervention correct early diagnosis the survival of these children is greatly improved. The collection of data in this observational study will allow us to show this improvement, by analysis of stage, treatment and outcome.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 18 years (Child, Adult)
