AIEOP-BFM ALL 2025 - International collaborative treatment protocol for children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
EU CTIS ID: 2025-522190-11-01
What this study is testing
Master protocol: To improve the outcome of children and adolescents with ALL by implementing targeted therapies (either immunotherapy or small molecules targeting leukaemia-related signalling pathways) as randomised or non-randomised modular interventions (sub-protocols) applying an improved risk-adapted treatment stratification system based on clinical parameters, genetics and in-vivo response. Sub-protocol B/SR: To provide therapy that reduces the treatment burden without affecting leukemia outcome to Standard Risk B-ALL patients by the treatment with a reduced-intensity post-induction chemotherapy combined with one cycle of Blinatumomab (28 days) replacing the standard-of-care post-induction chemotherapy (R-SR).

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
- Newly diagnosed mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) meeting one of the following criteria: (1) biphenotypic with a dominant lymphatic lineage assignment, (2) bilineal either with a dominant lymphoblastic population or if another reasonable rationale exists to treat the patient with an ALL-based therapy regimen
- Age < 18 years (up to 17 years and 365 days) at the day of diagnosis
- Written informed consent to the screening procedure in the Master protocol
- B/SR: Newly diagnosed ALL with B-cell immunology or newly diagnosed MPAL meeting the criteria of a biphenotypic acute leukemia with a dominant B lineage assignment
- B/SR: Meeting the criteria for the B-ALL standard-risk group
You likely can't join if
- Ph+ (BCR::ABL1 or t(9;22)-positive) ALL
- Patients < 1 year of age with KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL if enrollment in a study specifically designed for these patients is possible
- Pre-treatment with cytostatic drugs before ALL diagnosis. Exceptions include prior cytarabine treatment up to 100 mg/m² BSA for ≤ 2 days and/or a single dose of intrathecal triple therapy (Prednisolone, Cytarabine, and Methotrexate).
- Glucocorticoid pre-treatment with ≥ 1 mg/kg/d Prednisolone equivalent for more than two weeks during the last month before ALL diagnosis
- Underlying disease that does not allow treatment according to a standard of care ALL protocol (e.g. Severe congenital heart disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome, Ataxia-teleangiectasia…)
- Other condition (either pre-existing or related to leukemia biology as present at diagnosis) or circumstances that significantly conflict with the treatment according to a standard of care ALL protoco
