About this study

  • Arm A : Philadelphia chromosome-positive : Induction (Except Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab, all administration should be given with Dasatinib.)
  • Morphologic Complete Remission after the Induction : Consolidation #1 → Consolidation #2 → Consolidation #3
  • If Minimal Residual Disease & qPCR not detected after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using High Dose Methotrexate, High Dose Cytarabine → DI(Delayed Intensification) #1 → IM(Interim Maintenance) #2 → DI(Delayed Intensification) #2 → Maintenance
  • If Minimal Residual Disease or qPCR(Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) positivie after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab →Allogeneic HSCT(Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation)
  • M2 or M3 after the Induction : Re-induction → Consolidation #2 → Consolidation #3 → Allogeneic HSCT(Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation)
  • If Minimal Residual Disease & qPCR(Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) not detected after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using High Dose Methotrexate, HD Cytarabine
  • If Minimal Residual Disease or qPCR(Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) positivie after the post-reinduction : Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab
  • In Arm A, except Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab, all administration should be given with Dasatinib.
  • Arm B : Other VHR ALL except Philadelphia chromosome-positive : Induction
  • Morphologic Complete Remission after the Induction : Consolidation #1 → Consolidation #2 → Consolidation #3
  • If Minimal Residual Disease not detected after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using High Dose Methotrexate, High Dose Cytarabine → Allogeneic HSCT(Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation)
  • If Minimal Residual Disease positivie after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab →Allogeneic HSCT(Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation)
  • M2 or M3 after the Induction : Re-induction → Consolidation #2 → Consolidation #3 → Allogeneic HSCT(Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation)
  • If Minimal Residual Disease not detected after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using High Dose Methotrexate, High Dose Cytarabine
  • If Minimal Residual Disease positivie after the post-reinduction : Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Pediatric patients diagnosed with ALL between the ages of 1 and 19 years at the time of diagnosis who meet one or more of the following conditions:
  • Philadelphia chromosome-positive t(9;22)(q34;q11) or
  • Patients with failed remission who had blast > 5% on bone marrow test after initial remission induction therapy or
  • Hypodiploidy (Number of chromosomes < 44 (less than 44)) or
  • E2A-HLF(Hepatic Leukemia Factor) translocation-positive or
  • When the prognosis is judged to be poor according to NGS-MRD results among high-risk ALL patients (i) In B-ALL, the NGS-MRD(Next Generation Sequencing-Minimal Residual Disease) after consolidation therapy is 0.01% or more, and the NGS-MRD followed during interim maintenance treatment is also 0.01% or more, (ii) In T-ALL, NGS-MRD(Next Generation Sequencing-Minimal Residual Disease) is more than 0.01% after consolidation therapy

Exclusion criteria

  • When the study participant or their legal representative withdraws consent
  • Pregnant or lactating women (patients of child-bearing potential require adequate contraception during the study period)
  • Participants who are medically unsuitable to participate in this study at the discretion of the investigator Participants participating in other interventional studies other than this protocol

Treatment and study plan

  • If MRD & qPCR not detected after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using HD MTX, HD Cytarabine → DI #1 → IM #2 → DI #2 → Maintenance
  • If MRD or qPCR positive after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab →Allogeneic HSCT
  • M2 or M3 after the Induction : Re-induction → Consolidation #2 → Consolidation #3 → Allogeneic HSCT
  • If MRD & qPCR not detected after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using HD MTX, HD Cytarabine
  • If MRD or qPCR positive after the post-reinduction : Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab
  • In Arm A, except Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab, all administration should be given with Dasatinib.

Non-Dasatinib(Sprycel) arm

Drug

▪ Arm B : Other VHR ALL except Philadelphia chromosome-positive : Induction

  • Morphologic CR after the Induction : Consolidation #1 → Consolidation #2 → Consolidation #3
  • If MRD not detected after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using HD MTX, HD Cytarabine → Allogeneic HSCT
  • If MRD positive after the post-consolidation #1 : Consolidation #3 using Blinatumomab →Allogeneic HSCT
  • M2 or M3 after the Induction : Re-induction → Consolidation #2 → Consolidation #3‡ → Allogeneic HSCT
