Brief summary
This study aims at exploring the activity of a frontline approach based on dasatinib plus steroids administration as induction treatment, followed by the infusion of Blinatumomab, in adult Ph+ ALL.
Interventions
Adult Ph+ ALL (≥18 years old, with no upper age limit) patients will begin treatment with Dasatinib, 140 mg/day, from day 1 to day +84.
Upon induction: patients in CHR will receive Blinatumomab at a dose of 15 µg/m²/day as continuous intravenous infusion (CIVI) at a constant flow rate for four weeks, followed by a two-week infusion-free interval, defined as one treatment cycle. At least 2 cycles should be administered, up to a maximum of 5 cycles, if deemed necessary.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of patients who achieve Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negativity upon treatment | After 11 months from study entry | In particular, after 2 cycles of blinatumomab. Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negativity is intended as Complete Molecular Remission (CMR) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Number of patients completing the 2 cycles of blinatumomab and alive in first complete hematologic remission (CHR) | From day +85 at 12 months |
| Number of patients at Complete Molecular Response (CMR) | At day +22, +45, +57 and +85 from study entry |
| Number of months of the CMR | At 12 and 24 months |
| Number of patients in Overall Survival (OS) | At 12 and 24 months |
| Number of grade >3 adverse events | At 12 and 24 months |
