NCT ID NCT07008027
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study will follow 200 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma to learn more about the short- and long-term side effects of asparaginase drugs. Researchers will track how often serious toxicities occur during standard treatment and a newer therapy called SJALL23T. The goal is to better understand and manage these side effects.
