Scientists map genetic secrets of blood cancers to find new treatments
NCT ID NCT07445984
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects and analyzes genetic and molecular data from 250 people with various blood cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma. Researchers will test cancer cells in the lab with many drugs to see which ones work best. The goal is to match genetic features with drug responses, paving the way for more personalized cancer treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could identify new drug targets and personalized treatment options for people with blood cancers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage, observational study that does not test a specific treatment. Results may not directly lead to new therapies.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient aged \>1 year old, referred for evaluation to the University Hospital of Parma; * Retrospective study: previously patients with hematological malignancies; * Prospective study: 1) patients with clinical suspect of hematological malignancies which requires a diagnostic assessment using peripheral blood drawn, bone marrow aspirate/biopsy, lymph nodes biopsies or biopsies of tissues with metastatic involvement including liquor from rachicentesis, tissue aspirate etc. 2) patients with clinical suspect of relapsed/refractory onco-hematological disorder, which requires a diagnostic assessment using bone marrow aspirate/biopsy or biopsies of tissues with metastatic involvement including lymph nodes, liquor from rachicentesis, tissue aspirate etc. 3) patients that progress in blastic transformation from a chronic condition or suspect of relapsed/refractory hematological disease, which requires a diagnostic assessment using peripheral blood drawn, bone marrow aspirate/biopsy, lymph nodes biopsies or biopsies of tissues with metastatic involvement including liquor from rachicentesis, tissue aspirate etc; * Written informed consent. Retrospective study: informed consent will be signed during the first follow-up visit. Exclusion Criteria: * Age \<1 year old * Patients who are unable to provide informed consent prior to any procedure for any reason.
