RECRUITING

Flu Infection at UPHS

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Cellular and humoral immune responses in individuals with active influenza infection will be assessed. Each year, up to 50 participants will be enrolled. The investigators hypothesize that influenza infection will elicit mostly memory immune responses rather than de novo immune responses to infection.

Official Title
