Safety and outcome of children, adolescents and young adults participating in phase I/II clinical oncology trials: a 9-year center experience.

Introduction: Enrolling children with cancer in early phase trials is crucial to access innovative treatments, contributing to advancing pediatric oncology research and providing tailored therapeutic options. Our objective is to analyze the impact of these trials on patient outcomes and safety, and to examine the evolution and feasibility of trials in pediatric cancer over the past decade.

Methods: All patients recruited in pediatric anticancer phase I/II clinical trials from January 2014 to December 2022 were included.
