Clinical summary
Summary
This study aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukaemias to screen for patient eligibility for available paediatric leukaemia sub-trials.
Testing bone marrow and blood from people with leukaemia that has come back after treatment (relapsed) or is difficult to treat (refractory) may provide information about their cancer that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukaemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.
Participants will undergo collection of blood and/or bone marrow samples at baseline, end of treatment cycle(s), and at relapse/refractory disease status (if applicable).
After completion of the study, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 years.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or myelodysplastic syndrome
