MONALISA

A SIOPEN pragmatic clinical trial to MOnitor NeuroblastomA relapse with LIquid biopsy Sensitive Analysis

Project Description

MONALISA (A SIOPEN pragmatic clinical trial to MOnitor NeuroblastomA relapse with LIquid biopsy Sensitive Analysis) is a project within the Horizon Europe Cancer Mission call and aims to close existing gaps and establish liquid biopsies as standard-of-care to monitor relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma, as a blueprint for other pediatric cancers. The project will develop a digital decision support tool to help oncologists use the new monitoring and apply patient-reported outcomes to integrate patient viewpoints and assess the effect of minimally invasive, liquid biopsy diagnostics on quality of life.
The role of SMIT
Applying a human-centred AI design approach, SMIT will support the co-design of the data-driven decision support tool for oncologists to make it trustworthy (transparent, explainable…) for the different stakeholders.
