Research

Primary central nervous system lymphoma: Initial features, outcome, and late effects in 75 children and adolescents

Children with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma and no immunodeficiency have a good outcome

Research

Optimized peripheral blood progenitor cell mobilization for autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation in children with high-risk and refractory malignancies

Our approach to hematopoietic progenitor cells mobilization resulted in highly effective HPC harvest in children and adolescents with high-risk cancers

Research

Childhood craniopharyngioma: 20-year institutional experience in Western Australia

Although neurocognitive, psychological and behavioural problems were noted for some patients during medical review, only 20% of patients were formally assessed.

Research

New therapeutic opportunities from dissecting the pre-B leukemia bone marrow microenvironment

We provide evidence that targeting leukemia-induced bone loss is a therapeutic strategy for pre-B ALL

Research

A novel, palatable paediatric oral formulation of midazolam: Pharmacokinetics, tolerability, efficacy and safety

We conclude that the novel chocolate-based formulation of midazolam provides improved tolerability while remaining efficacious

Research

Receptor mutation is not a common mechanism of naturally occurring glucocorticoid resistance in leukaemia cell lines

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are among the most important drugs for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

Preclinical Assessment of Dactinomycin in KMT2A-Rearranged Infant Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Infants with KMT2A-rearranged B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have high rates of relapse and poor survival compared with children. Few new therapies have been identified over the past twenty years. The aim of this study was to identify existing anti-cancer agents that have the potential to be repurposed for the treatment of infant ALL.

Polyamine depletion limits progression of acute leukaemia

Cancer cells are addicted to polyamines, polycations essential for cellular function. While dual targeting of cellular polyamine biosynthesis and polyamine uptake is under clinical investigation in solid cancers, preclinical and clinical studies into its potential in haematological malignancies are lacking. Here we investigated the preclinical efficacy of polyamine depletion in acute leukaemia.
