Personalized chemo and transplants aim to beat infant leukemia

NCT ID NCT06516679

First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adjusting chemotherapy and using stem cell transplants based on each infant's genetic profile can improve survival. Infants under one year old with newly diagnosed leukemia receive a risk-stratified treatment plan. The study aims to see if this personalized approach leads to better outcomes and fewer long-term side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a combination of chemotherapy drugs (prednisolone, dexamethasone, vincristine, daunorubicin, L-asparaginase, cytarabine, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could lead to a more personalized treatment plan that improves survival for infants with leukemia while reducing unnecessary side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-phase trial, so results may not apply to all infants. Chemotherapy and stem cell transplants carry serious risks, including infection and long-term health problems.
