KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story |
If Landon Ryan had been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma 10, 20 or 30 years ago, she might not be here today with nearly perfect vision.Thanks to recent improvements in the treatment for this rare form of cancer that almost exclusively affects children under the age of 5, the diagnosis had the power to change Landon’s life when she was 11 months old, but not to take it — or her eyesight.

Xylitol Dental Wipes for the Reduction of Bloodstream Infection Risk in Children With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Pediatric Leukemia
Pediatric Leukemia
This phase III trial compares the effect of xylitol dental wipes to dental wipes without xylitol for the reduction of bloodstream infection in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar compound found in fruits and vegetables. Xylitol has been shown to limit the growth of bacteria in the mouth, and to reduce cavities, plaque on the teeth, and inflammation of the gums. Treatment for AML includes chemotherapy. Patients receiving chemotherapy for AML have a risk of developing bloodstream infections. Bloodstream infections can make patients very sick, can contribute to delays in treatment, and can even cause death. In AML patients, bacteria or fungus (yeast) can sometimes enter the bloodstream from the mouth. Using xylitol dental wipes may help to reduce bloodstream infections in children being treated for AML.

Long-Term Follow-Up Study After Gene-Modified Cell Treatment in Kite Studies
Multiple Cancer Types
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the long-term safety, effectiveness and prolonged action of Kite study drugs, axicabtagene ciloleucel, brexucabtagene autoleucel, KITE-363, KITE-753, KITE-197, anitocabtagene autoleucel, INT2104, KITE-512, ACLX-001, and ACLX002 in participants of Kite-sponsored interventional studies.
The primary objectives of this study are to:
* Evaluate the incidence and severity of related SAEs, late-onset targeted AEs/SAEs suspected to be possibly related to gene-modified cell therapy, including neurologic disorders, new autoimmune disorders (which are distinct from the study-treated disease), hematologic disorders, serious infections, as well as any new malignancies (regardless of causality)
* Evaluate the growth, development, and sexual maturity of pediatric and adolescent participants treated with gene-modified cell therapy.
