New treatment option for Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Official title Study of Chemotherapy-Free Induction Regimen for Ph+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (InO)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04747912
What this study is testing
What is Inotuzumab ozogamicin?
Inotuzumab ozogamicin is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for lymphoblastic leukemia.
Also referred to as Besponsa.
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 research study will add an anti-cancer drug (called inotuzumab ozogamicin also known as "InO") to treatment for participants with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Doctors leading this study hope to learn if adding InO to standard induction treatment for Ph+ ALL will lead to quicker, complete molecular remission (where the disease is not detectable even with very sensitive testing techniques).
- 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.
