While great strides have been made in treating children with acute leukemia, some children continue to do poorly. For example, children of Hispanic ethnicity are at greater risk of both relapse and treatment-related complications. The Reducing Ethnic Disparities in Acute Leukemia (REDIAL) Consortium will expand and enhance the recently established network of childhood cancer centers, with the goal of tackling ethnic outcome disparities by generating an unmatched resource of clinical information and biological samples. This information will be used to predict those who have the greatest risk of poor outcomes, with a focus on Hispanics, to improve prevention and treatment strategies. Funds administered by Baylor College of Medicine.

Although germ cell tumors are the most common solid tumors of adolescents and young adults, care and progress has been hampered by fragmentation between pediatric and medical oncology. No major breakthrough in therapy has occurred for over 4 decades, and limited molecular understanding hampers the ability to tailor therapy or discover new drugs that could change outcomes. Through collaboration and joint projects and initiatives, the Malignant Germ Cell Tumors International Consortium (MaGIC) of the world’s leading scientists and clinicians from both pediatric and medical oncology has been able to make some important advances in clinical trial design and biologic understanding of this cancer: a new molecular test to detect relapse, a new molecular test to assign risk group and several jointly designed adolescent and young adult clinical trials using novel drugs and treatment approaches. Funds administered by Dana–Farber Cancer Institute.

The goal of precision medicine is to identify specific genetic changes in individual cancer cells to inform cancer therapy. The Precision-based Therapy for Childhood Leukemia Consortium conducted the first pediatric leukemia precision medicine, multi-institutional clinical trial in the United States. The goal of the consortium is to identify genetic changes in the patient’s leukemia that could be targeted with novel therapies. This group is now expanding efforts to identify genetic changes in patients enrolled on the trial. Additionally, they are using a combination of a chemistry and biology approach to model new genetic changes. The combination of these studies is bringing precision medicine to pediatric patients with relapsed leukemia, with the ultimate goal of cure. Fund administered by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This grant is funded by and named for Julia's Legacy of Hope, a Hero Fund that honors her positive, courageous spirit and carries out her last wish: "no child should have to go through what I have experienced". Diagnosed at 16 with Ewing sarcoma, Julia fought cancer and survived only to be stricken by a secondary cancer as a result of treatment. Her family hopes to raise awareness and funds for research especially for Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) patients.

High-Risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) is an aggressive pediatric cancer, with only half of patients surviving. New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy (NANT) headquartered at Children's Hospital Los Angeles is the only group focused on new treatments based on lab data for HR-NB. NANT includes a team of 18 children's hospitals across nationally and internationally working together to design new treatments, treat patients, and use what is learned to design the next treatments. New treatments include helping patients’ own immune system kill tumor by increasing and activating immune cells. Another treatment uses radiation therapy focused on the tumor combined with medicines to help the immune system recognize tumor. Trials include special tests on patients' blood and bone marrow to understand how treatments work, find tiny amounts of tumor and new therapy targets. NANT trials help kids with aggressive NB that has come back. Funds administered by Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

This grant is named for the LukeStrong a Force Against Neuroblastoma Childhood Cancer Fund. When Luke was 5 years old, he was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma. He is now in his teens and still in active treatment for relapsed neuroblastoma. Since 2014 Luke’s “Never tell me the odds” attitude has inspired his family and friends to shave their heads, fundraise with St. Baldrick’s, and help conquer childhood cancers.
