Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Summary

Infant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is a rare disease and comprises about 4% of childhood ALL. Whereas the outcome of older children with ALL has improved to 80-85% event-free survival (EFS) infants with ALL have a worse prognosis.In 1999, a large international collaborative study group was started to develop common treatment protocols for infant ALL to try to improve the outcome for these very young children.The primary aim of the study is to assess the role of early intensification of two acute myeloid leukemia induction blocks versus standard IB protocol directly after induction, in a randomised way in MR and HR patients.The secondary aims of the study are:to assess the overall outcome of the Interfant-06 protocol compared to the historical control series, especially the Interfant-99, to assess the outcome of LR, MR and HR patients as compared to the historical control series in Interfant99, to study which factors have independent prognostic value and to assess the role of stem cell transplant (SCT) in HR patients.
