A Phase II Study of a Chemotherapy-Free Induction Regimen for Ph+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Incorporating Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (InO)
Summary
This research study will add an anti-cancer drug (called inotuzumab ozogamicin also known as "InO") to treatment for participants with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Doctors leading this study hope to learn if adding InO to standard induction treatment for Ph+ ALL will lead to quicker, complete molecular remission (where the disease is not detectable even with very sensitive testing techniques). The purpose of this research is to gather information regarding the effectiveness of InO in newly-diagnosed Ph+ ALL patients that have not yet received treatment.
Arms & interventions
- DrugInotuzumab ozogamicin
Inotuzumab ozogamicin, sold under the brand name Besponsa, is an anti-cancer drug used to treat relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
- DrugDasatinib
Dasatinib is a prescription treatment for adults with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML).
- DrugDexamethasone
Dexamethasone is a steroid that prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
- DrugMethotrexate
Methotrexate is a chemotherapy drug that is used to treat certain types of cancer and leukemia.
- DrugVincristine
Vincristine, also known as leurocristine and marketed under the brand name Oncovin among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat various types of cancer such as acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, neuroblastoma, and small cell lung cancer among others.
- DrugPonatinib
A drug used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is used in patients whose cancer has the T315I mutation or whose cancer cannot be treated with other tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. Ponatinib blocks BCR-ABL, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them.
- DrugPurinethol (6-Mercaptopurine)
Purinethol is a chemotherapy drug that is used to treat certain types of cancer and leukemia.
- DrugPrednisone
Prednisone is steroid given during chemotherapy treatments.
