However, patients with high-risk features or relapsed disease continue to have suboptimal outcomes. Conventional chemotherapy agents may increase long term organ toxicities even in more favorable patients. Improved understanding of the molecular characteristics of pediatric ALL has led to the preclinical and clinical development of more targeted and less systemically toxic therapeutic options for patients with ALL. Agents such as blinatumomab, inotuzumab ozogamicin, tisagenlecleucel and several others have revolutionized the treatment of relapsed or refractory ALL by either directing therapies locally to leukemic cells or by targeting specific leukemogenic pathways. Here we present current evidence for efficacy and toxicity profiles for these targeted therapies in pediatric patients with ALL. Many of these strategies have been more comprehensively studied in the adult population and we will highlight ongoing and needed clinical trials in pediatrics. We need to overcome our historically delayed approach to introducing new therapeutic options in pediatrics, as adults often benefit from innovations for years before they are evaluated in children. More proactively incorporating these emerging treatments into frontline therapy for the most vulnerable, high-risk pediatric ALL populations could meaningfully reshape our treatment paradigm. Earlier collaboration for development of clinical trials across pediatric and adult ALL may facilitate more rapid access to promising agents. We anticipate that successful upfront integration of more targeted approaches will improve response rates, reduce reliance on highly toxic chemotherapies and ultimately increase the likelihood of duration of remission. We expect the next generation of clinical trials will credential more targeted therapies for use in frontline therapy with the goal of improved outcomes with minimized toxicity for all patients with pediatric ALL, not just those with more favorable disease characteristics.</p>","PeriodicalId":50600,"journal":{"name":"Current Treatment Options in Oncology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12929260/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147272652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional chemotherapy offers modest response rates with limited durability, and its role is largely palliative. The most meaningful advances have occurred in biomarker-selected subgroups: androgen receptor blockade for AR-positive salivary duct carcinoma and HER2-directed therapy for HER2-positive tumors have demonstrated superior response rates and survival (often exceeding 50%), compared with the single digit response rates seen with unselected chemotherapy or tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as lenvatinib and axitinib may provide disease stabilization in adenoid cystic carcinoma, although tumor shrinkage is uncommon and toxicity limits their long-term use. Immunotherapy as a single agent has been disappointing, but durable responses in select patients and modest activity with combination regimens suggest it may have a future role when rationally paired with other agents. In our practice, comprehensive molecular profiling is essential at the time of recurrence to identify actionable alterations, prioritize targeted therapy where available, and guide clinical trial enrollment. For most patients without a targetable alteration, platinum-based combinations remain the pragmatic choice, though expectations for benefit should be tempered. Future strategies will likely hinge on optimizing biomarker-driven therapies, expanding access to antibody-drug conjugates, and pursuing collaborative trial designs to overcome the rarity and heterogeneity of these tumors.</p>","PeriodicalId":50600,"journal":{"name":"Current Treatment Options in Oncology","volume":"27 1","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145999653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
