Study Summary

This trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that's come back or hasn't responded to treatment. They should have controlled blood sugar, no severe active infections, and a life expectancy over 2 months. Pregnant women can't join, and participants must use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Sapanisertib's effectiveness on relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia by blocking enzymes needed for cancer cell growth. It includes lab biomarker analysis and pharmacological studies to understand how the drug works.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Sapanisertib may include risks related to enzyme inhibition which could affect cell growth in the body, possibly leading to fatigue, digestive issues, or abnormal blood counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the peak capacity for individuals participating in this experiment?

"The trial is no longer looking for participants; it was first posted on October 20th 2016 and most recently updated on May 4th 2022. For those in search of an alternative research program, there are 1496 clinical trials actively enrolling patients with refractory adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia as well as 11 Pharmacological Studies recruiting individuals."

Answered by AI

Are there opportunities to participate in this experiment at the moment?

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, the recruitment phase of this trial has concluded--the posting was first published on October 20th 2016 and last updated May 4th 2022. However, there are presently 1,507 other studies actively recruiting patients."

Answered by AI

What potential danger do participants of Pharmacological Study face?

"There is evidence indicating that Pharmacological Study may be safe, so it was assigned a score of 2. No studies have been conducted to evaluate its efficacy yet."

Answered by AI

What is the geographic extent of this clinical trial's implementation?

"Currently, 14 medical sites are recruiting for this trial. Such locations include the Mayo Clinic in Florida (Jacksonville), Johns Hopkins University/Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center in Baltimore and Huntsman Cancer Institute/University of Utah in Salt Lake City; to name a few out of the full roster of available clinical centres."

Answered by AI

Are there any precedential experiments involving Pharmacological Study?

"The Pharmacological Study was inaugurated in 2014 by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Currently, there are 11 functional studies and 611 concluded ones; many of these trials occur in Jacksonville, Florida."

Answered by AI

What objectives has this experiment been designed to fulfill?

"This clinical trial, lasting 61 days, will principally assess the complete response rate (CR/CRI) among participants. Secondary outcomes monitored include Adverse Event frequency per NCI CTCAE v4 guidelines and duration of CR/CRI; further, Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (SCT) post-response rates will also be tallied and exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for overall response rate calculated."
