International collaborative prospective study for children and adolescents with standard-risk ALK-positive anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) to evaluate the efficacy of vinblastine (ALCL-VBL)
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a malignant disease of the lymphatic system. Although the chances of a cure are good, this requires the use of an intensive combination of chemotherapy drugs. The goal of the ALCL-VBL study is to achieve treatment outcomes at least as good as those of standard therapy using vinblastine alone, while reducing side effects. The drug has already shown good results in cases of recurrent ALCL. Children and adolescents under the age of 18 who have ALK-positive ALCL in the standard-risk group and have not yet received any treatment are eligible to participate in the study.
