Detailed Description

This is a prospective, open-label, single-centre, exploratory study in paediatric patients with advanced stage solid tumours receiving oncospecific therapy.

Ocoxin®: The research product, registered as a nutritional supplement (Ocoxin®, oral solution), manufactured by Catalysis S.L. of Spain. It comes in the form of 30 ml single-dose vials.

Forty paediatric patients will be included, distributed as follows: Hodgkin's lymphoma (10), Central Nervous System tumours (10), Sarcoma of any type (10) or Germinal Tumours (10).

Patients will receive one vial of Ocoxin® daily from the start of oncospecific therapy until two weeks after the end of therapy.

Prior to the start of treatment and before each cycle of QT, a haemogram and haemochemistry including albumin, total proteins, transaminases (TGO, TGP) will be performed. Physical examinations will be performed, and the patient's vital signs and body weight will be evaluated.

Prior to the start of treatment, in month three and four weeks after the end of oncospecific therapy, a CT scan will be performed (depending on the type of tumour, the system for evaluating the efficacy of the oncospecific treatment will be adapted).

Quality of life will be assessed using the paediatric quality of life questionnaire (PedsQLTm, version 4.0. Spanish). The questionnaire will be administered to the parent or guardian prior to the start of treatment, at month 3 and at the end of treatment with Ocoxin®. In the case of longer treatment regimens, intermediate quality of life measurements may be taken after the three months and before the end of treatment.

The influence of Ocoxin® Oral solution on the prevention of admissions due to toxicity attributable to cancer-specific therapy and changes in the patient's nutritional status will also be assessed.

Safety will be assessed by collecting adverse events (AEs), analytical parameters, physical examinations and vital signs.

Effect and safety variables will be summarised using descriptive statistics and frequency counts.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of Life
Time Frame: 7 months
Qualitative and quantitative data collection. To assess the effect of Ocoxin® on the quality of life of paediatric patients with advanced solid tumours by the Paediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire (PedsQLTm, version 4.0. Spanish). The questionnaire will be administered to the parent or guardian prior to the start of treatment, at month 3 and at the end of treatment with Ocoxin®. In the case of longer treatment regimens, intermediate quality of life measurements may be taken after the three-month treatment and before the end of treatment.
7 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Degree of toxicity related to oncospecific treatment
Time Frame: 7 months
Qualitative and quantitative data collection. To evaluate the influence of Ocoxin® in the prevention of admissions due to toxicity to cancer-specific therapy (NCI-CTC scales). Admissions for toxicity. Information related to the need for admissions for mucositis (World Health Organization mucositis grade) or other causes shall be collected at each assessment during treatment and at the final assessment.
7 months
Nutritional Status
Time Frame: 7 months
Qualitative and quantitative data collection. Changes in nutritional status. This will be assessed through body mass index (BMI) behavior at baseline, intermediate assessments, and final assessments.
7 months
Presence of Adverse Events (AE)
Time Frame: 7 months

Qualitative and quantitative data collection. Product and non-product related adverse events described and classified as follows:

Occurrence of any AE: yes/no Type: described according to the CTC nomenclature version 5.0 Duration: To be assessed by the start and end dates of the adverse event Intensity: To be assessed by the categories mild, moderate, severe, serious life-threatening or disabling, or serious life-threatening.

Causality: assessed as highly probable/certain, probable, possible, possible, unlikely, unrelated, and not assessable/unclassifiable Severity: yes/no. In case of yes, it will be classified according to the categories of: causes death of the patient, threatens life, requires hospitalisation or prolongs an existing hospitalisation, causes disability, significant or persistent disability, causes a birth defect or congenital anomaly.

Outcome: To be assessed according to the categories of recovered, improved, persists or sequelae.
7 months
Metabolic Status
Time Frame: 7 months
Qualitative and quantitative data collection. The metabolic status of patients will be assessed by laboratory tests. The tests described in the evaluations will be performed according to the study schedule (haemogram, albumin, total proteins, TGP, TGO). They will be classified as normal, non-clinically significant abnormal and clinically significant abnormal. Clinically significant abnormal findings in laboratory parameters will be reported as AE.
7 months
Physical Status
Time Frame: 7 months
Qualitative data collection. The physical status of patients shall be assessed by physical examination. The patient will be examined prior to study initiation, at on-treatment assessments, and at the end-of-treatment assessment. Any positive findings of clinical relevance on physical examination will be considered as an adverse event and will be described and classified as defined in the protocol for this type of event.
7 months
Response to oncospecific treatment
Time Frame: 7 months
Qualitative data collection (the evaluation method used will also include RECIST criteria, iRECIST criteria, Cheeson criteria or other, in which case the method will be specified). Objective response to oncospecific treatment will be assessed by characterising the type of response after clinical evaluation of the patient at the end of the chemotherapy regimen. This will be classified as complete response, partial response, disease stabilisation or progression, following the response criteria established for each treatment protocol according to the underlying disease treated.
