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.

Trial Now Recruiting: Orphan Indications for CD19 Redirected Autologous T Cells (NCT04276870)

Researchers are testing a new cancer treatment called CART19 for children and young adults with specific types of blood cancer (B-ALL). The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells that are modified in a lab to fight cancer cells. This trial is looking for patients with rare, high-risk forms of this cancer, including some cases that have come back after previous treatment.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is actively recruiting children and young adults with hard-to-treat B-ALL subtypes (hypodiploid, t(17;19), KMT2A, and CNS relapse cases) — these patients have limited treatment options and this study offers access to an advanced cell therapy approach.
