Brief summary

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase III clinical study that aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nelarabine injection in the treatment of refractory or recurrent T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) in both children and adults. The trial includes 83 subjects, consisting of 35 adults and 48 children, and aims to evaluate the composite complete response rate (CCR) within 2 cycles, assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC), following treatment with Nelarabine injection for children and adults with refractory or recurrent T-ALL and T-LBL. The sample size of this study is estimated according to the treatment period of 4 cycles.

Interventions

DRUGNelarabine injection

Nelarabine is a prodrug of the nucleotide metabolism inhibitor deoxyguanosine analogue 9-β-arabinoguanine (ARA-G). Nelarabine undergoes catalytic transformation by adenosine deaminase (ADA), resulting in the removal of its methoxy group and conversion into ARA-G, Subsequently, ARA-G undergoes sequential monophosphorylation by deoxyguanosine kinase and deoxycytosine nucleoside kinase, yielding the active compound 5'-Guanosine triphosphate (GTP), ARA-GTP. This active compound accumulates within leukemic blast cells and binds to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), effectively inhibiting DNA synthesis and ultimately leading to cell death.

The coagulation function test needs to meet the following standards: prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), international standardized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 x ULN (without receiving anticoagulant treatment). * Before starting to use the investigational drug, all non hematological toxicity (except for hair loss and fatigue) of previous anti leukemia treatments must have been restored to level 1 or baseline levels ((NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE) version5.0)); * Female participants of childbearing age should agree to use contraceptive measures (such as intrauterine devices, contraceptives, or condoms) during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study; Within 7 days prior to enrollment, the serum pregnancy test was negative and must be a non lactating subject; Male participants should agree to adopt avoidance measures during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study period.

Exclusion criteria
