Registry for drug response profiling in pediatric blood cancers
Official title: Drug Response Profiling (DRP) Registry Zurich for Hematological Malignancies
Run by University Children's Hospital, Zurich · NCT06550102 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing how well different cancer drugs work on blood cancer cells from kids to help find the best treatment for those who haven't responded to other therapies.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include pediatric and adult patients under 40 years old diagnosed with hematological malignancies such as leukemia, myeloma, or lymphoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have informed consent for participation or those with hematological malignancies outside the specified age range may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on drug response profiling (DRP) for pediatric patients with hematological malignancies. It involves isolating primary cancer cells from patients and screening them ex vivo using automated fluorescence microscopy to assess drug sensitivity. The study aims to integrate drug sensitivity data with genetic information to provide personalized treatment options for patients with refractory disease. By evaluating the effectiveness of various chemotherapeutic agents, the study seeks to determine the feasibility of real-time drug response profiling in clinical settings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more personalized and effective treatment options for patients with blood cancers.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing drug response profiling in hematological malignancies have shown promising results, indicating potential for this approach.
