Study Summary

This trial will compare how well two different methods work in controlling nausea caused by chemotherapy in children with leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 4 years or older with newly diagnosed or recurrent Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) who speak English, French, or Spanish. They must be in maintenance therapy and not planned to receive certain types of chemotherapy or steroids during the study. Participants also need to be able to use a nausea assessment tool without cognitive impairments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if teaching problem-solving skills can help control nausea in children with ALL taking oral 6-mercaptopurine. It's a preliminary step to see if it's possible to do a larger trial on this approach for managing treatment-related nausea.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves training in problem-solving skills rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects related to stress or anxiety from participation.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Bright Ideas- CIN TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The PSST will be delivered by a "trainer" in a minimum of three 30-minute to 1-hour sessions with a parent and patient (if developmentally appropriate). During the first session, the study team member will build rapport by understanding relevant personal background and medical information; introduce PSST and the Bright IDEAS paradigm; review the patients experience with nausea as reported in Phase 1 and at other times during treatment; promote problem-solving strategies and skills; and develop an anti-nausea action plan. During the second session, the trainer will discuss how well the prior action plan worked and reinforce successful outcomes or, if unsuccessful, return to the problem-solving steps to generate a new action plan. The third session will review progress on CINV control, assist in problem-solving as needed, and discuss how to continue to use the Bright IDEAS framework to resolve future issues with CINV or symptom management more broadly.
