New genome test aims to speed up leukemia diagnosis for kids
NCT ID NCT07313592
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a new genetic test called ChromoSeq can quickly and accurately classify leukemia in children and young adults. Researchers will collect blood or bone marrow samples from 60 participants at diagnosis and compare the test results to standard methods. The goal is to see if this test can provide faster, more detailed information to guide treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ChromoSeq® assay (a genetic test using a blood or bone marrow sample)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this test could help doctors classify leukemia faster and more accurately, leading to quicker, more personalized treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study (60 participants) at a single hospital. The test may not work as well in real-world settings or may not improve patient outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Eligibility Criteria * Children and young adult patients (\< 30 years of age at time of study enrollment) treated at St. Louis Children's Hospital/Washington University School of Medicine. * Suspected diagnosis or suspected relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), B- or T-cell. * Concurrent enrollment on a prospective therapeutic trial is allowed as this protocol makes no recommendations regarding treatment approach. * Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document. All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign an IRB approved written informed consent document.
