Official Title: Pilot Prospective Study for PET-CT Imaging in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Leukemias
Brief Summary:
BackgroundAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for about 25% of childhood cancers and for about 20% of adult leukemias.The disease can be treated with CAR T-cell infusion but non-central nervous system (CNS) extramedullary disease (EMD) is associated with lower rates of complete remission.18-fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has been shown to be effective for detection of non-CNS EMD in ALL.Pre and post CAR T-cell infusion may help to predict outcomes and…
