Observatory of Prolymphocytic Leukemia T (T-PLL)

June 29, 2026 updated by: French Innovative Leukemia Organisation

Prospective and Retrospective Study Evaluating Epidemiological, Clinical, Molecular and Therapeutic Data of Prolymphocytic Leukemia T. A FILO Study.

Prolymphocytic leukemia T is a rare disease representing approximately 2% of mature lymphoid leukemias and 20% of prolymphocytic leukemias. It mainly affects the elderly with an aggressive clinical course. It is a hemopathy exhibiting a post thymic T phenotype (Tdt-, CD1a-, CD5 +, CD2 + and CD7 +), generally CD4 + / CD8-, but also CD4 + / CD8 + or CD8 + / CD4-.

The main feature of T-PLL is the rearrangement of chromosome 14 involving genes encoding the T cell receptor complex (TCR) subunits, leading to overexpression of the proto-oncogene TCL1.

On the molecular level, the study of Prolymphocytic leukemia T shows a substantial mutational activation of the IL2RG-JAK1-JAK3-STAT5B axis.

Patients with Prolymphocytic leukemia T have a poor prognosis, due to a poor response to conventional chemotherapy. Treatment with the anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody: alemtuzumab has considerably improved the results, but the responses to treatment are transient; therefore, patients who obtain a response to alemtuzumab treatment are candidates for stem cell allograft (TSS) if they are eligible for this procedure. This combined approach extended the median survival to four years or more. However, new approaches using well-tolerated therapies that target signaling and survival pathways are necessary for most patients who are unable to receive intensive chemotherapy, such as JAK STAT axis inhibitors, anti-AKT, or anti BCL2 .

Main objective: Better manage prolymphocytic T leukemias.

Secondary objectives:

  • Molecular characterization of prolymphocytic leukemia T.
  • Study of the response to treatment, disease-free survival, overall survival.
  • Impact of prognostic factors on response to treatment, and survival.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
