RATIONALE: Tubefeeding may help maintain good nutrition and lessen weight loss in younger patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well tube feedings work in younger patients receiving chemotherapy for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or high-risk solid tumors.

Official Title: | Pilot Study of Early Enteral Tube Feedings in Children Receiving Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed AML/MDS and High Risk Solid Tumors |
Estimated Enrollment: | 16 |
Study Start Date: | March 2006 |
Primary Completion Date: | April 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Patients have a small (6 or 8 French) nasogastral feeding tube or enterostomy tube inserted after diagnosis. Peptamen® AF tube feeding is administered via the enteral tube. Tube feedings are started as a continuous drip using an enteral feeding pump with a subsequent steady daily rate increase. Patients receive enteral feeding during courses 1-4 of chemotherapy.
