Could a medicine called ONC-201 help treat children with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia?
Looking at whether a pre-existing drug could be an effective and safe treatment due to its ability to target cancer cells directly.
We have been funding expert research since 2016, aiming to ensure that every child and young person has a safe and effective treatment for their cancer, and that they can live long and happy lives post-treatment.
Looking at whether a pre-existing drug could be an effective and safe treatment due to its ability to target cancer cells directly.

Looking for repurposed treatments that can fight leukaemia cells in very young children.
Investigating how a protein that causes relapse in acute myeloid leukaemia interacts with the genetic code, and whether these interactions could be prevented.
Looking at the early stages of leukaemia that develops after treatment for other cancers to find out what changes occur and how to fight it.
Understanding how leukaemia cells enlist immune system cells to help them survive chemotherapy.
Investigating how a protein changes the way leukaemia cells behave in babies.
Looking at how a process called 'cut-and-run' leads to genetic errors, and how those errors could be prevented in order to prevent relapse in childhood leukaemia.
