Modern therapies such as stem cell transplant and immune therapy have made high-risk neuroblastoma a survivable disease for some children, but little is known about the chronic health issues experienced by survivors. In order to ensure that future treatments address both the chance and the quality of cure, this consortium aims to examine the impact of neuroblastoma therapy on survivors' growth, pubertal development and long-term health.

This grant is named for and funded by the "Just Do It...…and be done with it" Hero Fund created in honor of Sara Martorano who doesn't let anything dim her sparkle and has a compassionate heart and smile. It also celebrates the courage of all cancer kids through treatment and the support of their family and friends.

Pediatric Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) arises from errors during immune (B cell) development. Treatment failure is associated with dismal outcomes, and many pediatric BL survivors will suffer long-term toxicities from therapy, highlighting the need to explore opportunities to identify patients who may be cured with less intense therapies. Little is currently known about the biology of pediatric BL and clinical implications of specific mutations. Therefore, systematic analysis of tissue from children treated on clinical trials represents a unique opportunity to gain insights from valuable specimens to inform biologic risk-based chemotherapy and identify potential targeted therapeutic strategies. Dr. Allen will characterize intrinsic and acquired genetic factors that underlie pathogenesis and predict response to therapy in patients with pediatric BL who have completed treatment on COG clinical trials.

This grant is funded by and named for Jack's Pack - We Still Have His Back, a St. Baldrick's Hero Fund. Jack Klein was a ten year old who loved life, laughing and monkeys. During his illness, his community of family and friends near and far rallied around him under the moniker "Jack's Pack". Their slogan was "We have Jack's Back". After Jack succumbed to Burkitt's Lymphoma, his "pack" focused their energy and efforts to funding a cure...just as Jack would have wanted.

Anthracycline chemotherapies are important, lifesaving medicines given to a majority of children with cancer. However, they can injure the heart and cause heart failure in up to 10% of children years later, during cancer survivorship. Unfortunately, with the current available tools, there is not much known about which children will develop heart failure and what treatments would work best for them, and by the time the problem is identified it may be too late to help them. Dr. Narayan seeks to address this problem by using state-of-the-art, in-depth imaging techniques in adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer to detect early changes in the heart. The goal is to develop new tools to provide early, personalized treatments to prevent heart failure.

This grant is named for TEAM ABBY Gives, a St. Baldrick's Hero Fund. Abby was diagnosed with Pre-B ALL when she was almost five years old. She had a successful bone marrow transplant, but battle battled graft vs. host disease (GVHD) and heart disease for years. Abby and her treatment team worked hard over many years to keep the GVHD in check. Sadly, Abby passed away on October 19, 2021. This fund unites the incredible support of family and friends in Abby's memory and inspires others to join the fight for cures and better treatments.

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.
