August 20, 2010 updated by: Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital

German Multicenter Trial for Treatment Optimisation in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults and Adolescents Above 15 Years With Rituximab for Improvement of Prognosis in CD20 Positive Standard Risk ALL (Amend 2)

The study evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of an intensified induction and consolidation therapy in combination with rituximab in CD20 positive standard risk patients. Thereafter patients receive additional consolidation and reinduction cycles combined with rituximab. In parallel minimal residual disease is evaluated. After six months and one year the decision on intensification or discontinuation of therapy is made based on results of MRD evaluation
