Brief summary

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of cladribine, venetoclax combined with cytarabine and venetoclax (CAV regimen) for relapsed/refractory (R/R) Philadelphia Chromosome-negative (Ph-) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

Detailed description

Relapse is common in Ph- B-ALL and a proportion of patients present refractory to initial treatment. Treatments for these patients consist immunotherapy and conventional chemotherapy. The former is too expensive and the latter has a low remission rate. Treatment for R/R Ph- B-ALL still remains a challenge. The efficacy and safety of cladribine, venetoclax and cytarabine (CAV) has not been explored in ALL. Thus investigators design such a clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of CAV regimen for R/R Ph- B-ALL.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall response rate (ORR)ORR assessment is measured on days 21 from the start of CAV regimenThe overall response (completed remission, completed remission with incomplete blood count recovery)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)2 yearsOS is measured from the time of enrollment to this trial to the date of death from any cause; patients not known to have died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last known to be alive.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)2 yearsPFS is measured from the time of enrollment to this study to progression or death.
Adverse events1 monthIt is evaluated and graded according to CTCAE 5.0.
