Could tiny particles explain clot danger in kids with leukemia?
NCT ID NCT02862652
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 24 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia to see if tiny cell fragments called microparticles contribute to dangerous blood clots during treatment. Researchers collected blood samples to measure these particles and a clotting protein on their surface. The goal was to better understand why clots happen, not to test a new treatment.
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 this study clarifies why clots form during leukemia treatment, it could point toward better prevention strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 24 participants. It does not test any treatment, so it cannot directly improve patient care.
