Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a potentially fatal disease characterized by inflammatory tumors. Recently, researchers discovered that LCH arises from immature immune cells in the blood and is in fact a form of cancer. It is not known why some children develop extensive life-threatening disease, others may have limited tumors, and some develop progressive brain deterioration. In this study, Dr. Allen is investigating the role of inherited genes, acquired gene mutations, and the origin of tumor cells to define the causes of LCH. The ultimate goal is to develop personalized approach to determine the safest, most effective therapy for each child.

This grant is generously supported by the Move For Miles Childhood Cancer Foundation, a St. Baldrick's partner. Inspired by Miles Dagelewicz who was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocystosis, a rare cancer at one year old, the Foundation was created to support childhood cancer research through Powerful Play and to create “sMiles” for families in treatment.  Rooted in the belief that they must always be moving forward for better treatments, cures, and long-term quality of life for survivors, the organization strives to achieve their goals by harnessing the most natural childhood pastime ... what they call Powerful Play.

Jan-Henning Klusmann P.D., M.D.

Funded: 02-01-2018 through 12-31-2021
Funding Type: Robert J. Arceci International Innovation Award
Institution Location: Frankfurt, Germany
Institution: Goethe University Frankfurt

Infants with blood cancer particularly suffer from the side effects of chemotherapy and have a poor prognosis. This highlights the need for new and innovative treatment approaches. Dr. Klusmann's research team and others have recently revealed the importance of areas in the genome for the development of blood cancer that were previously considered as “junk”. These areas are extremely large and can serve as a unique therapeutic target. Dr. Klusmann will investigate those areas and evaluate therapeutic option to overcome current obstacles in the treatment of infants with blood cancer. Awarded at Martin-Luther-Universitat Halle-Wittenberg and transferred to Goethe University Frankfurt.

Children's Cancer Foundation Hong Kong

Funded: 01-01-2018 through 12-31-2018
Funding Type: Beneficiary Outside the U.S.
Institution Location: Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Institution: Children's Cancer Foundation

Through this partnership with the Children's Cancer Foundation, proceeds from St. Baldrick's head-shaving events in Hong Kong support life-saving childhood cancer research in Hong Kong. The St. Baldrick's Foundation is proud to partner with the Children's Cancer Foundation and has been doing so since 2008. This grant has funded two projects. The first project is an extension of a previous grant. Researchers collect the tissues of all pediatric brain tumors in Hong Kong to review and perform special tests. The results will refine diagnoses and categorization, offers much better prognosis and more precise therapy. The second project is also an extension of a previous grant, building on the work showing that rituximab combined with chemotherapy improves survival rate in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This year's extension will study how adding bortezomib to rituximab and chemotherapy improves remission rates.

Cancer treatment outcomes in patients between ages 13-39 years (adolescent and young adults - AYA) have been quite dismal. Clinical trials are cancer treatment options which potentially offers newer drugs in the hopes to cure cancer. One of the reasons for poor outcomes is limited participation of AYA cancer patients in clinical trials. This grant supports a Clinical Research Coordinator to ensure that more adolescent and young adults can be treated on clinical trials, often their best hope for a cure.
