Analysis of Risk Factors for Hearing Loss in Survivors of Cancer Occurred During Childhood, Adolescence or Young Adulthood
France500 participantsStarted 2025-05
Plain-language summary
This study is aimed at people treated for cancer before the age of 25, who have been followed for at least 5 years, and who are now aged between 18 and 50. It is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized study.
The main aim of the project is to identify hearing impaired patients using the iAudiogram medical device, and to analyze the risk factors associated with the risk of hearing impairment.
Around 500 patients will take part in this study in France. Participation in this research project will consist in carrying out a hearing test (audiogram with tonal audiometry) with the iAudigram medical device (at Gustave Roussy, Curie or Necker Hospital) and completing self-questionnaires focusing on ototoxicity and its consequences.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients aged between 18 and 50 years at audiological investigations
* Treated for brain tumor, solid cancer, lymphoma or leukemia in childhood, adolescence or at a young adult age (\<25years)
* With at least 5 years of cancer-free follow-up after childhood cancer
* Patients included in the FCCSS ( https://fccss.fr ) deep cohort of 7670 5-year childhood cancer survivors treated before 2001, or patients who have planned visit in long-term follow-up clinics of Curie Institute and Gustave Roussy, whatever the diagnostic period
* Pregnant or breast-feeding women can be included as no risk is identified
* With Social security coverage
* Signed written informed consent obtained
NB: Patients included in another research project are not excluded from this one
NB: patients wearing a Lyric hearing prosthesis or any other permanent hearing prosthesis or cochlear implant can be included in the study but will not perform audiological examinations because the audiogram can't be easily performed without hearing prosthesis. Nevertheless, these patients could participate to the study with self-administered questionnaires and could be included as cases (i.e. patients with hearing deficiency) in analyses.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patient under guardianship or deprived of his liberty by a judicial or administrative decision or incapable of giving its consent
* Patient with unavailable data concerning treatment modalities including cumulative doses of chemotherapy agents o…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
