Study Summary

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of a combination of standard chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in adults with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Who is the study for?
Adults with newly diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who are at least 18 years old, have a performance status allowing for intensive chemotherapy, and can provide informed consent. Excluded are those with certain other leukemia types, significant liver or heart conditions, active infections like HIV or hepatitis B/C, uncontrolled bleeding disorders, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests pediatric-inspired chemotherapy combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors Dasatinib or Ponatinib in adults with Ph+ ALL. There are two age groups: 18-59 and 60+. The TKI used depends on the chemo cycle to minimize side effects. Dosages of both chemo agents and TKIs are adjusted by age group for continuous administration.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system suppression leading to increased infection risk; nausea; mouth sores; hair loss from chemotherapy; plus possible fluid retention, muscle pain, rash from TKIs. Heart rhythm problems could occur due to underlying conditions exacerbated by treatment.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: BFM + Tyrosine Kinase InhibitorExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
This study has 2 cohorts: participants aged 18 - 59 years and participants aged 60 or more years. Both cohorts receive the same study intervention with dosage adjusted for age. Participants receive the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM) protocol plus dasatinib during a two-phase induction and a delayed re-induction. Participants receive the BFM protocol plus ponatinib during post-induction consolidations and maintenance.
