What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase II trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Sapanisertib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Sapanisertib

Trial Overview 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.

How Is the Trial Designed?
