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

Immune Function and Response to Vaccination Following Completion of Cancer Directed Systemic Therapy in Pediatric Patients With Cancer

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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.
