Summary
This trial is testing a combination of drugs to treat leukemia and measure any side effects.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with untreated or previously treated Ph-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in blast phase. Participants must be physically able to perform daily activities with minimal assistance, have normal organ function, and agree to use effective contraception. Excluded are those with serious infections, active hepatitis B, severe heart conditions, uncontrolled blood pressure, a history of significant bleeding disorders unrelated to cancer, or alcohol abuse.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well a combination of chemotherapy drugs like cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin hydrochloride works alongside ponatinib hydrochloride—a drug that blocks enzymes needed for cancer cell growth—in treating ALL. It's a phase II trial aiming to determine the effectiveness and side effects of this treatment regimen.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include damage to organs from chemotherapy drugs such as nausea and hair loss; ponatinib may cause issues like high blood pressure or pancreatitis. The severity can vary widely among individuals.
