Bilingual online program to prevent weight gain in childhood leukemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a bilingual, online program to help children and teens who have ALL (a type of leukemia) stay at a healthy weight during the maintenance phase of treatment. It may help lower the chance of gaining too much weight while on chemotherapy.

This study looks at the gut microbiome (tiny organisms in the gut) and metabolome (small chemicals in the body) in children and teens with newly diagnosed ALL. It may help researchers understand what is happening in the body early in treatment and could guide future, more personalized care.
This study tests whether a special diet (calorie restriction) and increased physical activity can make chemotherapy work better for young people with B-ALL. Participants will follow a monitored diet and exercise plan during their first month of treatment.
This study tests if a computer-based training program focusing on thinking skills and mindfulness can help children and teens who have had leukemia treatment. It may help improve memory, attention, and emotional well-being.
This trial tests a mobile (phone) health program to help adolescents and young adults with leukemia take their oral chemotherapy medicine consistently. It may help if staying on daily pills is hard during the maintenance phase of treatment.
This trial tests whether starting physical activity and exercise early in treatment can help children with leukemia prevent muscle loss and reduce frailty. It involves wearing a Fitbit to track activity and may help kids stay stronger during and after treatment.
This study tests a support program that helps parents give their child's daily leukemia medicine (6-MP) on schedule and overcome any barriers. It aims to make it easier for families to stick with treatment.
