Molecular profiling and drug testing for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia

Official title: Acute Myeloid Leukemia At Initial Diagnosis and/or Relapse in Children, Teenagers and Young Adults: Molecular Profiling, Multidrug Testing and MSC Interaction Studies - ALARM3

Run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT05772559 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to learn more about pediatric acute myeloid leukemia by looking at patients' cells to find out why some treatments don’t work and to test new drug options for kids and young adults with this cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals aged 0-25 years with newly diagnosed or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia, or those with a genetic predisposition to the disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia or those who refuse to participate may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on understanding pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by collecting biological samples from patients at initial diagnosis and during relapse. It aims to evaluate the genomic profiling of leukemic cells to identify genetic factors associated with treatment resistance and relapse risk. Additionally, the study will investigate the interaction of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and conduct ex vivo drug testing to explore potential therapeutic options. The research is observational and involves patients aged 0-25 years with various forms of AML.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies and better outcomes for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is focused on pediatric AML, similar studies in adult populations have shown promise in understanding genetic factors and improving treatment outcomes.
