Personalized chemo and transplants aim to beat infant leukemia
NCT ID NCT06516679
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adjusting chemotherapy and using stem cell transplants based on each infant's genetic profile can improve survival. Infants under one year old with newly diagnosed leukemia receive a risk-stratified treatment plan. The study aims to see if this personalized approach leads to better outcomes and fewer long-term side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a combination of chemotherapy drugs (prednisolone, dexamethasone, vincristine, daunorubicin, L-asparaginase, cytarabine, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could lead to a more personalized treatment plan that improves survival for infants with leukemia while reducing unnecessary side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-phase trial, so results may not apply to all infants. Chemotherapy and stem cell transplants carry serious risks, including infection and long-term health problems.
