About this study

The Risk Assessment is classified as follows based on the NGS-MRD results evaluated after EOI(End of Induction).

<Standard Risk>

  • Late (Relapse ≥ 1 year after off treatment) B-ALL marrow or Combined relapse AND
  • End of induction MRD < 0.01%

<High Risk>

  • T-ALL marrow or combined relapse (any timing)
  • All other B-ALL marrow or combined relapse cases

<Very High Risk>

  • End of Induction BM ≥ M2 AND B -ALL marrow or combined relapse

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

stem cell transplantation

Procedure

All matters related to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are subject to each institution's practice.

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety/Efficacy

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 9 year

    Patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia are being treated after sorted into groups with their potential risk, and disease-free survival rate will be checked.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease-free survival rate (Blinatumomab)

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 9 year

    Blinatumomab is used before transplantation to patients with high-risk group, and then disease-free survival rate will be compared before and after

  2. Disease-free survival rate (standard risk)

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 9 year

    Patients with standard risk who are not eligible for allogenic stem cell transplantation are given consolidation and maintenance therapies, and disease-free survival rate will compared before and after

  3. Disease-free survival rate (Comparing minimal residual disease)

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 9 year

    Comparing minimal residual disease negative rate with the study before by adding blinatumomab to patients in high risk group

  4. Death rate related to treatment

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 9 year

    Children and adolescents who have relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia re administered different treatments depending on their assigned groups, and disease-free survival rate will be compared before and after

  5. Death rate related to toxicity

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 9 year

    Comparing remission rate and occurrence rate of toxicity during re-intervention therapy after changed schedules of idarubicin

  6. Toxicity rate during consolidation therapy

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 9 year

    Checking occurence rate of toxicity related to treatment during consolidation for patients in low-risk group
