Newly-diagnosed Pediatric Ph-positive B-ALL Protocol

This prospective clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of "chemotherapy-light" regimen incorporating the third-generation TKI olverembatinib, the bi-specific CD3/CD19 T cell engager blinatumomab, and the BCL-2 selective inhibitor venetoclax for newly diagnosed pediatric/adolescent patients with Ph+ ALL. The CCCG-Ph+ B-ALL-2025 protocol will be modified as following compared to the CCCG-ALL-2020 protocol

Newly-diagnosed Low Risk Pediatric B-cell ALL Protocol

CCCG-ALL2025 LR-B-ALL plan is designed based on the CCCG-ALL2020 plan. This is a clinical trial using 14 days of blinatumomab (Blina-14) as early intensification after induction therapy and 2nd Blina-14 in consolidation therapy in all newly diagnosed provisional low-risk (LR) pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients, regardless of measurable residual diseases (MRD) status. We will compare the efficacy of chemotherapy combined with Blina-14, comparing to CAT+ intensification or historical regimens. Patients with early remission in depth will receive chemo-light late intensification and maintenance therapy afterwards. Early complete remission in depth and maintenance reduction will be determined by next-generation sequencing (Ig-NGS MRD).

Newly-diagnosed Pediatric T-cell ALL Protocol

This is a prospective, multicenter study conducted within the Chinese Children's Cancer Group (CCCG). The study aims to evaluate whether the addition of three novel agents, dasatinib, venetoclax and homoharringtonine, can improve the minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative remission rate, enhance event-free survival (EFS), and reduce the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).

Newly-diagnosed Intermediate/High Risk Pediatric B-cell ALL Protocol

Building upon the results from the CCCG-ALL-2015, CCCG-ALL-2020 multicenter study cohort, concurrent research findings, and the latest clinical trials, the CCCG-ALL-2025 I/HR-B-ALL is thus developed to further improve the event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS), and quality of life (QoL) of children with intermediate- and high- risk B-cell childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (I/HR-B-ALL), while decreasing adverse reactions and transplantation rates. This trial primarily aims to explore: 1. The efficacy of two randomized Blinatumomab application scheme on I/HR-ALL as determined by MRD negatvitiy rate. 2. The efficacy of modified mini-hyperCVD + Venetoclax in I/HR-ALL cannot afford blinatumomab, in contrast to historical control as determined by MRD negatvitiy rate.

COVID-19 and Childhood Cancer

The investigators will first examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on childhood cancer patients in Sweden and Denmark, both regarding susceptibility to severe COVID-19 among long-term childhood cancer survivors, and, for those diagnosed with childhood cancer during the pandemic, whether the path through primary care to cancer diagnosis as well as short-term survival has changed. Second, the investigators will study childhood cancer incidence before, during and after the pandemic with the particular aim to test the hypothesis regarding an infectious disease etiology for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
