Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat leukemia. The goal is to find out if it is safe and works well.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-54 with newly diagnosed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can join this trial. They must be in good physical condition, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and willing to use non-hormonal birth control. People with certain heart conditions, other cancers, uncontrolled infections or those who have taken strong medications that affect liver enzymes recently cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and optimal dose of a drug called Venetoclax when added to a pediatric-inspired chemotherapy regimen (C10403). This combination targets cancer cell growth by blocking essential proteins and using various chemo drugs to kill or stop cancer cells from dividing.
What are the potential side effects?
Venetoclax combined with C10403 chemotherapy may cause side effects like low blood counts leading to increased infection risk, fatigue, nausea, liver issues, potential for allergic reactions and could affect heart function. The severity of side effects varies among individuals.
