Frequently Asked Questions
How many hospitals have been approved to administer this trial?
"There are many enrolling sites for this trial, including Michigan State University Clinical Center in East Lansing, Nevada, Summerlin Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Indiana, and Saint Vincent Hospital and Health Care Center in Indianapolis. In total, there are over 100 locations recruiting patients for this study."
How do I sign up for the clinical trial?
"This trial is recruiting 5956 patients, between the ages of 1 Year and 31 who have ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is important that participants also meet the following criteria: Patients must have newly diagnosed B lymphoblastic leukemia (2008 World Health Organization [WHO] classification) (also termed B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia); patients with Down syndrome are also eligible, Organ function requirements for patients with Ph-like ALL and a predicted TKI-sensitive mutation: patients identified as Ph-like with a TKI-sensitive kinase mutation must have assessment of organ function performed within 3 days of study"
How many people are being recruited for this clinical trial?
"Unfortunately, this study is no longer recruiting patients. The trial was initially posted on February 27th 2012 and had its last update September 20th 2022. However, there are plenty of other studies actively looking for participants that might be a better match. There are 1547 trials actively recruiting patients with ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 2512 studies for Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017)."
Are there any previous cases of Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017)?
"As of right now, there are 2512 active clinical trials researching Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017), with 575 of those being in Phase 3. Most studies for Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017) originate from Duarte, California; however, there are 86664 total locations running these sorts of trials."
Are people aged 50 years or older being accepted into this research program?
"The age bracket for this study is 1-31 years old."
What are the risks associated with Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017)?
"Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017) was given a safety score of 3. This is based on the fact that it is a Phase 3 trial, which suggests that there is some evidence to support its efficacy as well as data from multiple rounds supporting its safety."
What illness does Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017) address?
"Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017), which is typically used to treat synovitis, can also be applied to alleviate conditions such as scalp structure, prostate cancer, and ulcerative colitis."
Are new participants still being sought for this research project?
"Unfortunately, this particular trial is no longer looking for patients. It was first posted on February 27th 2012 and was last updated on September 20th 2022. However, there are presently 1547 studies actively searching for participants with ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 2512 studies for Group II Arm B (VHR B-ALL - Exp Arm1) (CLOSED 02/15/2017) that are still enrolling patients."
What are the medical professionals who designed this trial hoping to achieve?
"The purpose of this 5-year clinical trial is to compare the disease-free survival (DFS) rates of children, adolescents, and young adults with very high-risk (VHR) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) between two treatment arms. Secondary objectives include comparing the DFS rates for Ph-like ALL patients treated with dasatinib plus MBFM-IMHDM, assessing the toxicity and tolerability of MBFM-interim maintenance intermediate dose methotrexate (IMIDM) in children with Down syndrome, and estimating the overall survival (OS) rate for HR B-"
