Recruiting PHASE2 B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

New treatment option for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Official title The EndRAD Trial: Eliminating Total Body Irradiation (TBI) for NGS-MRD Negative Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With B-ALL

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03509961

What this study is testing

What is Myeloablative allogeneic HCT with a non-TBI conditioning regimen?

Myeloablative allogeneic HCT with a non-TBI conditioning regimen is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This study will evaluate the use of non- TBI (total body irradiation) conditioning for B-ALL patients with low risk of relapse as defined by absence of NGS-MRD (next generation sequencing minimal residual disease) before receiving a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Patients diagnosed with B-ALL who are candidates for HCT will be screened by NGS-MRD on a test of bone marrow done before the HCT.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

Ages 1 to 25

You may be able to join if

  • for the Observational Arm: Any patient with ALL who undergoes Myeloablative HCT including any of the following:
  • Patients who are pre-HCT NGS-MRD positive.
  • Patients \<1 year old who are pre-HCT NGS-MRD negative.
  • Patients who are pre-HCT NGS-MRD negative (CR1/CR2) who received inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy before proceeding to HCT.
