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.

Dr. Kentsis is working to advance both our basic scientific knowledge about how young people develop cancer, and to use that knowledge to discover and develop new treatments for children that are precise, curative and safe. The St. Baldrick’s Robert J. Arceci Innovation Award is given in honor of the late Dr. Robert Arceci. A pioneer in the field, this award reflects Dr. Arceci’s values including creativity, collaboration, and commitment to early- to mid-career scientists.

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.
