Brief Summary:

This research study is seeking to gain new knowledge about Recurrent, Refractory, or High Risk Leukemias in children and young adults.

This study is evaluating the use of specialized testing called leukemia profiling. Once the profiling is performed, the results are evaluated by an expert panel of physicians, scientists and pharmacists. This may result in a recommendation for a specific cancer therapy or a clinical trial called matched targeted therapy (MTT). The results of the leukemia profiling and, if applicable, the MTT recommendation will be communicated to the participant's primary oncologist.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Recurrent, Refractory, or High Risk Leukemias Matched Targeted Therapy Genetic: Leukemia Profiling Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Our tissues and organs are made up of cells. Cancer occurs when the molecules that normally control cell growth are damaged. The damage results in unchecked cell growth which causes a tumor, a collection of cancer cells. The damage is referred to as an alteration. There are different types of cancer-causing alterations. Genes are the part of cells that contain the instructions which tell our cells how to make the right proteins to grow and work. Genes are composed of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) letters that spell out these instructions.

By participating in this study, the participant's leukemia cells will be tested for cancer causing alterations. This testing is called leukemia profiling. The leukemia profiling will be performed using bone marrow or blood that has already been obtained during a clinical test. Alternately, the profiling may be done on leukemia cells that are planned to be obtained as part of routine clinical care.

This study will determine whether it is possible to use profiling results to determine a matched targeted therapy for patients with leukemia. It will describe the range of mutations found in patients with leukemia with this type of profiling, and describe the clinical outcomes of patients who receive a matched targeted therapy.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Relapsed/Refractory Leukemia

Cohort 1: Relapsed/Refractory Leukemia

  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), first or greater relapse
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), first or greater relapse
  • Leukemia refractory to induction chemotherapy
  • Other recurrent leukemia
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), first or greater relapse, or refractory to initial therapy

After the screening procedures confirms patient eligibility:

  • Leukemia Profiling will be performed
  • Identifying an actionable genomic alteration and making a matched targeted therapy treatment recommendation.
Genetic: Leukemia Profiling
Genetic profiling of leukemia cells will be performed and analyzed by an expert panel. Matched targeted therapy recommendation based on profiling results will be made if available. The recommendation, if available, will be communicated to the primary oncologist.

Experimental: New Diagnosis

Cohort 2: New Diagnosis

  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), new diagnosis (excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL))
  • New diagnosis infant mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL)-rearranged ALL or low hypodiploid (<40 chromosomes) ALL
  • Rare leukemia- e.g., juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), leukemia of ambiguous lineage
  • Secondary leukemia
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) not eligible for stem cell transplant

After the screening procedures confirms eligibility:

  • Leukemia Profiling will be performed
  • Identifying an actionable genomic alteration and making a matched targeted therapy treatment recommendation.
Genetic: Leukemia Profiling
Genetic profiling of leukemia cells will be performed and analyzed by an expert panel. Matched targeted therapy recommendation based on profiling results will be made if available. The recommendation, if available, will be communicated to the primary oncologist.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of Patients With Actionable Alterations [ Time Frame: Actionable alteration was identified based on a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)/cytogenetics and sequencing. Average time to full results was 2 weeks. ]
    An actionable alteration was defined as a cancer-associated genomic event for which there was a targeted drug available. Actionable genetic alterations were identified by a combination of standard-of-care cytogenetics/fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and sequencing performed as part of the study. This study is considered feasible if at least 13% of participants analyzed have profile data and identifiable actionable alterations. A 90% exact binomial confidence interval is presented for the rate of patients with actionable alterations to compare the observed rate against 13%.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of Somatic Genomic Alterations [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    This Secondary Outcome will be addressed by describing the somatic genomic alterations in Cohort 1 (Relapsed/Refractory Leukemia arm) and Cohort 2 (New Diagnosis arm) that are discovered by genomic analyses.

  2. Rate of Results Reporting [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    This Secondary Outcome will be addressed by a description of the time of results reporting. Documentation of the time of sample receipt and processing, resources and personnel utilized at each step of the process, time to results reporting, interpretation and review by Expert panel and communication of results to the primary oncologist will be captured.

  3. Parent's Feelings and Understanding of Genomic Testing [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    This Secondary Outcome will be addressed by describing the hopes and concerns of parents of children with recurrent/refractory/high-risk de novo leukemia regarding genomic testing of their child's leukemia as well as their understanding of the testing and evaluate whether the hopes and concerns were realized following the return of results.

  4. Analysis of Primary Leukemia Sensitivity Testing and Establishment of Xenograft Models [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    This Secondary Outcome will be addressed by completing analysis of the primary leukemia sensitivity testing to a panel of drugs or shRNA and establishing xenograft models in dedicated participating research laboratories and conducting co-clinical trials with the recommended matched therapy once the animal model is established.
