Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are newly diagnosed patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are 18 years old or younger.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe cardiac, liver, or kidney diseases, or those unable to comply with the study requirements may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to improve the prediction of relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) by using multiparametric flow cytometry to detect circulating leukemia stem cells. The study focuses on newly diagnosed patients under 18 years old who can provide informed consent. By identifying these stem cells, the researchers hope to enhance the accuracy of relapse predictions and potentially guide preemptive therapies. The study is being conducted at multiple centers, including Peking University People's Hospital.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate predictions of leukemia relapse, allowing for timely interventions that may improve patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using circulating leukemia stem cells for relapse prediction is promising, it is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in previous studies.
