Pediatric-inspired Regimen Combined With Venetoclax for Adolescent and Adult Patients With de Novo Philadelphia Chromosome-Negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Summary

The pediatric-inspired regimen has greatly improved the prognosis of adult patients with with Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph- ALL), but relapse remains a great challenge. Venetoclax (Ven) is an oral, selective inhibitor of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2). Although this drug is currently used primarily for acute myeloid leukemia, in vitro as well as small cohort studies suggest a effect in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This study proposes to combine pediatric-inspired regimen with venetoclax for the treatment of adult patients with Ph- ALL, aiming to improve the MRD-negative complete remission rate measured by flow cytometry after induction and to reduce relapse, thus further improving patients overall survival.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* De novo and primary Ph/BCR-ABL1 negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia diagnosed by the bone marrow cytomorphology, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular biology according to WHO classification
* Age: 14 -60 years
* Male or female
* ECOG Performance Status 0-2
* Adequate end organ function as defined by: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal（ULN）; serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤5 x ULN if leukemic involvement of the liver is present; Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN; Serum amylase and lipase ≤ 1.5 x ULN; Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN unless considered tumor related; normal electrolytes: Potassium ≥ LLN; Magnesium ≥ LLN; Phosphorus ≥ LLN; Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound ejection fraction ≥ 45%;
