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

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.

WHY IT MATTERSThis 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.

New Recruiting Trial: Autologous T Cells Transduced With Retroviral Vectors Expressing TCRs for Participant-specific Neoantigens in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

Researchers are testing a new cancer treatment that takes a patient's own immune cells, modifies them in a lab to recognize and attack their specific cancer, and then puts them back into the body. This Phase 1 trial is for people with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The treatment is personalized—each patient's cells are customized based on their individual cancer's unique mutations.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers patients with hematologic malignancies access to a cutting-edge personalized immunotherapy that targets their cancer's unique mutations, potentially offering a new treatment option for those who may have limited alternatives.

New Recruiting Trial: Etoposide, Prednisone, Vincristine, Cyclophosphamide, and Doxorubicin (DA-EPOCH) With or Without Rituximab Plus Recombinant Erwinia Asparaginase (JZP458) for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Ph Negative B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or T Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Researchers are looking for patients with a type of blood cancer called acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to test a new treatment combination. The study will test whether adding a drug called JZP458 to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone. This trial is just starting and will recruit patients beginning in April 2026.

WHY IT MATTERSThis Phase 2 trial is now actively recruiting newly diagnosed ALL patients without the Philadelphia chromosome, offering access to an investigational asparaginase formulation (JZP458) that may have improved tolerability compared to standard asparaginase.
