Study Summary

This trial is testing the effects of a combination of drugs on patients with a specific type of leukemia. The drugs may work by stopping the growth of cancer cells or by interfering with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

Who is the study for?
Adults with newly diagnosed or relapsed Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) can join this trial. They must have good kidney function, no prior dasatinib treatment for relapsed cases, and be able to take oral medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with certain heart conditions, recent other cancer treatments, or active serious infections cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of venetoclax with dasatinib, prednisone, and rituximab in patients. Venetoclax targets proteins that cancer cells need to survive; dasatinib blocks enzymes for cell growth; prednisone lowers immune response; rituximab may stop cancer spread.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include risk of infection due to lowered immunity from prednisone and rituximab. Venetoclax might cause digestive issues or fatigue. Dasatinib could lead to fluid retention and muscle pain. Each drug has its own profile of potential side effects.
