Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety of a new combination of three oral drugs in people with Ph+ ALL. The drugs are dexamethasone, dasatinib, and ruxolitinib.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 40 or older with newly diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who haven't been treated before, except for specific prior therapies. Participants must be able to consent and have acceptable organ function. It's not open to those with HIV, Hepatitis B/C, certain heart conditions, other active cancers (with exceptions), uncontrolled infections, or severe pre-existing GI disorders.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new drug combo: Ruxolitinib added to Dasatinib and Dexamethasone in Ph+ ALL patients. Starting with low doses of Ruxolitinib, the amount will increase gradually if no severe side effects occur. This helps find the safest effective dose for future research.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system, blood disorders like anemia or bleeding problems, liver issues signaled by yellowing skin or eyesight changes, kidney problems indicated by changes in urine output or swelling in legs and feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Are there any other documented experiments that have tested Ruxolitinib?

"As of now, 692 clinical trials are investigating the efficacy and safety of Ruxolitinib with 160 in Phase 3. The city of Mishawaka, Indiana is a major centre for these studies but there are also 24767 other sites offering this trial around the world."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment still available for the trial participants?

"At present, no further candidates are being sought for this trial. The medical study was initially posted on June 29th 2015 and last modified on July 25th 2022. If you wish to pursue other clinical trials, 1498 all studies and 692 Ruxolitinib investigations are now recruiting patients."

Answered by AI

What is the enrolment capacity of this trial?

"Unfortunately, this trial is not currently looking for enrollees. The listing was first uploaded on June 29th 2015 and last updated July 25th 2022. If you're seeking out other available studies, there are 1498 active trials involving acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 692 open clinical trials that incorporate ruxolitinib as part of their protocol."

Answered by AI

What kind of risks does Ruxolitinib pose to users?

"As this is an early-phase clinical trial, there is limited supporting evidence for the safety and efficacy of Ruxolitinib. Consequently, it received a score of 1 according to our team's evaluation at Power."

Answered by AI

What indications are most commonly addressed with Ruxolitinib?

"Ruxolitinib can be used to target and relieve symptoms of synovitis, ophthalmia, sympathetic disorders, as well as branch retinal vein occlusion."
