Scientists hunt for relapse clues in childhood leukemia
NCT ID NCT06649253
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why 20% of children with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) relapse after treatment. Researchers will collect bone and blood samples from 50 newly diagnosed children at three key points during therapy. They will study how a protein called CD9 is regulated, which may help predict or understand relapses. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
