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. This grant has funded two projects. The first project is an extension of a previous grant. It aims to accurately measure treatment response by identifying and counting residual leukemia cells in patients following treatment to avoid under-or over-treatment of the disease in the future. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a more cost-effective approach of MRD monitoring that helps avoid under- or over-treatment of childhood leukemia, while achieving a higher cure rate and long-term event-free survival. The second project is a pre-clinical investigation on the role of CD9 as an inhibitor of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia by regulating leukemia progression and chemosensitivity. If proven, the new CD9-targeting agents could be developed as an add-on to conventional chemotherapy for treatment of high-risk and relapsed pediatric AML.
