New Recruiting Trial: Dose-Adjusted EPOCH With or Without Rituximab Plus Ponatinib for the Treatment of Newly-Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma

WHY IT MATTERS

This trial is now actively recruiting patients with newly-diagnosed Ph+ ALL/lymphoma and offers access to ponatinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that may improve outcomes for this aggressive blood cancer.

Researchers are looking for patients with a specific type of blood cancer called Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia to test a new treatment combination. The treatment uses chemotherapy drugs (EPOCH), sometimes combined with rituximab (a protein therapy), plus a targeted drug called ponatinib. This is a Phase 2 trial, meaning it's testing whether the treatment works and is safe in a larger group of patients.
