When participant is legally too young to provide consent, the participant’s legally authorized representative must provide informed consent; the participant must provide written assent based on local regulations and/or guidelines prior to any study activities. Age-specific consent/assent documents exist (parental ICF; adolescent ICF and adolescent assent; child assent forms for specified age groups). Subject information and ICF documents are present in the dossier; protocol synopses and materials are available in English and translated versions (French, Dutch, Italian) as indicated by available documents.

Methods

  • Physician referral and physician-to-physician (Dr-to-Dr) letters (documented: 'Dr to Dr Letter', 'Physician Referral Letter') targeted to treating clinicians at pediatric oncology/hematology centers (documents listed for multiple Member States).
  • GP/primary care communication (document: 'GP Letter') to inform local physicians about the study and referral pathways.
  • Website lay summary (document: 'Website Lay Summary_NL') to provide public-facing study information (country/language-specific lay materials).
  • Recruitment procedure documentation (K1 recruitment arrangements) describing local recruitment workflow at sites.
