Summary

This trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that's come back or hasn't responded to treatment. They should have controlled blood sugar, no severe active infections, and a life expectancy over 2 months. Pregnant women can't join, and participants must use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Sapanisertib's effectiveness on relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia by blocking enzymes needed for cancer cell growth. It includes lab biomarker analysis and pharmacological studies to understand how the drug works.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Sapanisertib may include risks related to enzyme inhibition which could affect cell growth in the body, possibly leading to fatigue, digestive issues, or abnormal blood counts.
