Summary

This study tests a combination of two drugs, venetoclax and navitoclax, in children whose acute lymphoblastic leukemia has returned or not responded to standard therapy. The goal is to see if this combination can clear the cancer from the bone marrow (called minimal residual disease negativity). About 35 children will take part, and the study also looks at adding other drugs like blinatumomab or high-dose cytarabine depending on the child's cancer type.
