Summary

This trial will study combination chemotherapy in young patients with newly diagnosed B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is likely to come back or spread, and in patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-like tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitive mutations.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients with high-risk B acute lymphoblastic leukemia and specific mutations that make them sensitive to certain drugs. They must meet organ function requirements, have no major heart conduction issues, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception if of childbearing potential, and cannot have received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well a combination of chemotherapy drugs works against aggressive B acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children and young adults. It includes various medications like Dasatinib and Dexamethasone among others, given in different doses and combinations to see which is most effective at killing cancer cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the treatments may include damage to organs due to drug toxicity, increased risk of infections, allergic reactions, nausea or vomiting from chemotherapy agents. Specific side effects will vary based on the particular combination of drugs administered.
