Study Summary

This trial will study combination chemotherapy in young patients with newly diagnosed B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is likely to come back or spread, and in patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-like tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitive mutations.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients with high-risk B acute lymphoblastic leukemia and specific mutations that make them sensitive to certain drugs. They must meet organ function requirements, have no major heart conduction issues, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception if of childbearing potential, and cannot have received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how well a combination of chemotherapy drugs works against aggressive B acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children and young adults. It includes various medications like Dasatinib and Dexamethasone among others, given in different doses and combinations to see which is most effective at killing cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the treatments may include damage to organs due to drug toxicity, increased risk of infections, allergic reactions, nausea or vomiting from chemotherapy agents. Specific side effects will vary based on the particular combination of drugs administered.

Answered by AI

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)."

Answered by AI

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."

Answered by AI

Are people aged 50 years or older being accepted into this research program?

"The age bracket for this study is 1-31 years old."

Answered by AI

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."

Answered by AI

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."

Answered by AI

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."

Answered by AI

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-"
