Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Testing for minimal residual disease in cell samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may help doctors plan better treatment.

PURPOSE: This research trial studies a genetic test in identifying previously undetectable minimal residual disease in cell samples from younger patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* To identify and characterize changes in clonal populations of B cells in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at diagnosis and Day 29 of induction.
* To define the ability of this technology to reclassify patients as minimal residual disease (MRD) positive at Day 29 of induction.
* To determine whether more sensitive detection of MRD at Day 29 would have clinical prognostic value in children with ALL.

OUTLINE: DNA extracted from diagnostic cells are analyzed for immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region by next-generation sequencing.
