Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding the drug blinatumomab to standard treatment for Ph+ ALL can improve responses.

Who is the study for?

Adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who haven't had treatment beyond corticosteroids or certain chemotherapies. Participants must be able to consent, have acceptable liver function and organ health, agree to use birth control during and after the study, and have a performance status indicating they are relatively active.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is testing blinatumomab combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy (like dasatinib) against standard care for Ph+ ALL. The goal is to see if adding blinatumomab improves outcomes compared to just corticosteroids plus TKI therapy.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects include allergic reactions, liver enzyme changes, nerve damage symptoms like tingling or numbness, fatigue, headache, fever, bleeding complications and increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Blinatumomab & Concurrent Oral Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions

Patients may receive steroids and hydroxyurea pre-study entry and receive a 7-day steroid prephase before starting TKI therapy. Planned initial TKI is dasatinib 140 mg daily; dasatinib dose may be reduced or TKI may be changed to a different agent under certain conditions. Induction consists of continuous TKI + 24 days of dexamethasone, followed by taper of dexamethasone, with bone marrow aspirate/biopsy (BMA) and CNS prophylaxis at days 22 and 43. Patients achieving morphologic complete response post-induction proceed to consolidation with up to 3 cycles of blinatumomab (28-day cycles, 14 days between cycles) + TKI, with BMA and CNS prophylaxis between cycles. Patients achieving complete molecular response may proceed to maintenance with up to 4 more cycles of blinatumomab (28-day cycles with 28 days between cycles) + TKI, with CNS prophylaxis between cycles and BMA after cycles 5 and 7. Patients can come off study to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

To what extent does dexamethasone help patients?

"dexamethasone is a medication with many applications, some of which include the treatment of synovitis, ophthalmia, and sympathetic. Additionally, dexamethasone can be used to manage branch retinal vein occlusion and sclc."

Answered by AI

What is the projected size of this research project?

"That is correct, the clinicaltrials.gov website does list this study as currently open for recruitment. The listing was first created on March 30th 2020 and most recently updated on June 28th 2022. At present, there are 3 active recruiting sites looking for a total of 17 participants."

Answered by AI

Are there long-term repercussions to prescription dexamethasone?

"There is some clinical data suggesting that dexamethasone is safe, but none affirming its efficacy."

Answered by AI

Are investigators actively looking for participants in this trial?

"Yes, the information available on clinicaltrials.gov specifies that this study is currently looking for participants. The trial was originally posted on March 30th 2020 and has been updated as recently as June 28th 2022. At the moment, the team running the trial are hoping to recruit 17 patients from 3 different locations."
