The NBCR aims to help clinicians, researchers and policy makers to better understand the risk factors and causes of different blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). By capturing real-world, long-term data at different points in a patients’ blood cancer journey, including diagnosis, treatment, response and remission, the NBCR helps researchers to drive new research breakthroughs and deliver new treatments.

The NBCR now has data from over 5,000 blood cancer patients from across 49 participating hospitals, with 15 active research projects and studies underway to support new blood cancer treatments. The NBCR is fully integrated with ALLG’s clinical trial portfolio, acting as a pathway for patients to access current and future clinical trials for their blood cancer.

Your support is vital for the NBCR Registry to enable this important resource to grow and accelerate blood cancer research for Better treatments…Better lives. For more information, visit https://tinyurl.com/ms98n48n.

As we step into 2026, ALLG members are focused on what matters most: delivering high-quality, evidence-based clinical trials that improve outcomes for people living with blood cancers.

This year, we are committed to:

-Expanding access to innovative and practice-changing clinical trials across Australia and New Zealand
-Generating high-quality evidence that informs best practice in blood cancer treatment
-Strengthening collaborations across our investigator network, hospital sites and research partners
-Supporting clinicians and researchers who drive research excellence and contribute to our shared mission
-Ensuring patients and families remain at the centre of everything we do

We look forward to another impactful year as we pursue Better treatments...Better lives for all people with blood cancer. For more information, visit allg.org.au.

As we wrap up another huge year at the ALLG, we are reflecting on the year that’s been and looking forward to 2026.

With your support, ALLG has enabled 1,058 patients to access new and better treatments through our clinical trials. We also have 75+ active clinical trials researching innovative and life-saving treatment options across leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

Another highlight of 2025 was the appointment of our second ALLG HSANZ Clinical Trials Fellow, Dr Safia Belbachir. Dr Belbachir’s project investigates how genetic variation (pharmacogenomics) influences the current treatment protocols and patient response in graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing stem cell transplant. It's thanks to your generosity and support that ALLG is able to support game-changing blood cancer right here at home.

Every dollar that you have donated or fundraised this year has gone towards making this vital work possible. We look forward to working with you again in 2026 to advance blood cancer clinical trial research in Australia and New Zealand.

The CML11 PINNACLE Study, led by ALLG, explored whether combining targeted therapy with immune based-therapy treatment could help people newly diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) achieve deeper, faster responses. This is important as deeper responses mean better long-term control of CML.

We're proud to see CML11 PINNACLE published in the British Journal of Haematology. Congratulations to Professor David Yeung, Professor Tim Hughes and the ALLG team for advancing care for people living with CML. Visit, allg.org.au for more information.

It’s not too late to make a difference this Christmas in the lives of people with blood cancers like leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. People like Stephanie, who at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic was dealt not one but two devastating blows. Her leukaemia was back and she was also facing the possibility of graft versus host disease (GVHD) as a side effect of her stem cell transplant. GVHD is a serious and sometimes fatal complication with devastating, irreversible effects on organs like the skin, eyes, mouth, lungs and gastrointestinal tract.

Hope came in the form of a clinical trial. The ALLG BM12 CAST trial, led by Professor David Curtis, which delivered a new treatment that tripled the chance of patients being alive, cancer free and free of GVHD 3 years after their stem cell transplant. Professor Curtis shares, “These results are game-changing for stem cell transplant patients, with the new treatment combination of cyclosporin and cyclophosphamide offering a new standard of care for prevention of GVHD for patients.”

These are great results, but we need to do more. With over 2000 patients in Australia and New Zealand requiring a stem cell transplant every year and 1 in 3 of these affected by GVHD, it is still having a devastating impact.

Please donate today so that ALLG’s researchers can continue doing what they do best - delivering Better treatments…Better lives for people with blood cancer. https://tinyurl.com/23r9pf95.
