Scientists hunt genetic clues to match kids with Hard-to-Treat leukemia to better drugs

NCT ID NCT02670525

Summary

This study aims to find better treatments for children and young adults whose leukemia has returned, hasn't responded to standard therapy, or is considered high-risk. Researchers analyze the genetic makeup of a patient's cancer cells to see if they can recommend a specific, targeted drug that matches the cancer's unique profile. The goal is to see if this personalized approach can help control these difficult blood cancers.
