| Main Objective: To explore the efficacy of a front-line chemo-free strategy based on the administration of Ponatinib plus steroids as induction treatment, followed by the infusion of Blinatumomab as consolidation in adult Ph+ ALL (=18 years, no upper age limit), and to compare it with a chemotherapy scheme combined with Imatinib (control arm), in terms of event-free survival (EFS), a composite endpoint, with events defined as: non achievement of MRD negativity (CMR or PNQ), deaths for any reason, toxicity and resistance (due or not to an ABL1 mutation development) in adult Ph+ ALL (=18 years, no upper age limit).;Secondary Objective: 1.The key secondary objective is represented by the feasibility of patients’ stratification to allo-SCT allocation on the basis of a refined MRD evaluation and on the presence/absence of additional genetic lesions (namely IKZF1 plus CDKN2A/B and/or PAX5). 2.Capability of Blinatumomab to further reduce the MRD levels after Ponatinib induction. 3.CMR or positive not-quantifiable (PNQ) duration. 4.DFS at 1 and 3 years. 5.OS at 1 and 3 years. 6.Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR). 7.Safety profile. 8.Comparison of patients’ quality of life (QoL) profiles over time by randomization arms. 9.CMR (or PNQ) achievement, duration of CMR, OS and DFS according to the clinical, biological and molecular characteristics at baseline, including type of fusion protein (p190 vs p210) and presence of additional genomic lesions. 10 & 11 please see the Protocol.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a sequential approach based on the administration of Ponatinib plus and Blinatumomab vs chemotherapy combined with Imatinib, in terms of (EFS), a composite endpoint, with events defined as: non achievement of MRD negativity (CMR or PNQ), deaths for any reason, toxicity and resistance (due or not to an ABL1 mutation development) in adult Ph+ ALL (=18 years, no upper age limit).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this e | — |
