Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia
MONDO:0011908A myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm of childhood that is characterized by proliferation principally of the granulocytic and monocytic lineages. Myelomonocytic proliferation is seen in the bone marrow and the blood. The leukemic cells may infiltrate any tissue, however liver, spleen, lymph nodes, skin, and respiratory tract are the most common sites of involvement. (WHO, 2001)
Also known as: chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, JCML, JMML, juvenile chronic myelogenous leukaemia, juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia, juvenile chronic myeloid leukaemia, juvenile chronic myeloid leukemia

Engineered donor cells aim to beat blood cancer without severe side effects
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a new way to treat children and young adults with high-risk blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. Doctors take blood cells from a family donor, remove certain T cells that can cause a harmful immune reaction, and then transplant the modified cells. The goal i…

New hope for kids with tough leukemia: targeted drug shows promise
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a drug called trametinib in children with a rare blood cancer (juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia) that has returned or not responded to treatment. The drug works by blocking certain enzymes that help cancer cells grow. The goal is to see if it can shrink or contro…

Epigenetic drugs aim to stop cancer return after transplant in kids
Disease control OngoingThis trial tests whether adding two drugs—vorinostat and low-dose azacitidine—after a stem cell transplant can help prevent relapse in children with certain myeloid cancers. The study includes children aged 1 to 21 with acute myeloid leukemia or related conditions. Researchers ar…

Experimental chemo combo aims to help kids with rare secondary blood cancers
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a chemotherapy drug called CPX-351 (Vyxeos) in 25 patients under 22 years old who have secondary myeloid neoplasms, a type of blood cancer that develops after previous cancer treatment. Participants receive one or two rounds of CPX-351, followed by a stem cell tr…

Donor stem cell transplant shows promise for tough blood cancers
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a stem cell transplant from a matched unrelated donor for people with advanced blood cancers or blood disorders. Patients get chemotherapy and radiation before the transplant to prepare their body, then take drugs to prevent the donor cells from attacking their o…

New testing method may guide targeted treatments for young leukemia patients
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at whether a special type of testing, called leukemia profiling, can help find personalized treatment options for children and young adults up to age 30 with recurrent, refractory, or high-risk leukemias. Researchers analyze the genetic changes in each patient's …

Scientists hunt for blood cancer clues in patient samples
Knowledge-focused By invitation onlyThis study collects blood and bone marrow samples from up to 550 people with blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome. Researchers will study the cells, genes, and proteins in these samples to better understand how these cancers develop and to find new …
