Abstract
Paediatric acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) highlights the challenges of drug development for rare diseases, in which limited patient numbers and substantial heterogeneity hinder progress. Traditional one-size-fits-all randomized trials are ineffective. Nonetheless, tailored therapies and biomarker-driven studies can improve outcomes and transform the treatment of paediatric patients with AML and potentially other rare cancers.
