De Novo Adult Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Patients (LAL1509)

A Multicenter Total Therapy Strategy for De Novo Adult Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Patients. GIMEMA Protocol LAL1509, EudraCT Number 2010-019119-39

This study will enroll adult de novo Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients (≥18 years, ≤60 years). Induction treatment will consist of 12 weeks of Dasatinib oral administration (140 mg QD). Patients will initiate treatment with steroids 7 days prior to starting Dasatinib and will continue up to day 31. Patients will continue treatment with Dasatinib up to day 84, except for disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal from study.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: ALL Ph Positive
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Total therapy approach

Detailed Description

This study will enroll adult de novo Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients (≥18 years, ≤60 years). Induction treatment will consist of 12 weeks of Dasatinib oral administration (140 mg QD). Patients will initiate treatment with steroids 7 days prior to starting Dasatinib and will continue up to day 31. Patients will continue treatment with Dasatinib up to day 84, except for disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal from study.

Thereafter:

• patients in hematological and molecular CR will receive a post-remissional treatment consisting of Dasatinib alone for a 6 months period
• patients in hematological CR with persistence of molecular disease will be allografted or, if not eligible or a donor is not available, treated with 2 cycles of a Clofarabine-Cyclophosphamide schedule.

After allograft:

• MRD negative patients (i.e. in CHR and PCR negative) will receive a 6 months Dasatinib maintenance treatment;
• MRD positive patients (i.e. in CHR and PCR positive) will receive Dasatinib as maintenance treatment until relapse or progression.

Patients not transplanted and treated with Clofarabine/Cyclophosphamide will also receive Dasatinib as maintenance treatment until relapse or progression.

• Study Type: Interventional
• Enrollment (Actual): 60
• Phase: Phase 2

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

The primary objective of the trial is to estimate the feasibility of a total therapy strategy in de novo adult Ph positive ALL.	The primary endpoint is the rate of patients alive in CHR who have completed the trial treatment according to the therapeutic strategy;	at 42 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
The median value of the minimum of PCR levels achieved in each patient during the Dasatinib treatment within day +85, whenever achieved from the start of the Dasatinib.	at 42 months
The rate of patients who become PCR negative after Dasatinib induction.	at 42 months
Out of patients who become PCR negative after induction, the rate of patients who remain persistently negative during maintenance treatment with Dasatinib (without chemotherapy or allogeneic transplant).	at 42 months
The median value of the minimum of PCR levels achieved in each patient after an allogeneic transplant or Clofarabine-Cyclophosphamide treatment as consolidation therapy.	at 42 months
The rate of patients alive in CHR who have completed the maintenance program with Dasatinib after an allogeneic transplant or two cycles of Clofarabine-Cyclophosphamide as consolidation therapy.	at 42 months
Disease free survival estimation starting from the date of evaluation of CHR.	at 42 months
Cumulative incidence of relapse estimation starting from the date of evaluation of CHR.	at 42 months
