Trial Information

Oncological Treatment During Pregnancy: Pharmacokinetics of Chemotherapy and Long Term Follow up of the Offspring


In a prospective trial we invite children that were exposed to cytotoxic drugs or
radiotherapy in utero for a standardized neurological and cardiological examination. The
examinations will be done by qualified psychologists, neurological and cardiological
pediatricians.

For the pharmacological part we will sample maternal blood after infusion of cytotoxic
drugs. Samples will be analysed at the department of Clinical Pharmacology and results will
be compared with the non-pregnant state.
