Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

New treatment option for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Official title HEM-iSMART-B: Dasatinib + Venetoclax + Dexamethasone + Cyclophosphamide and Cytarabine in Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Hematological Malignancies

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05751044

What this study is testing

What is Dasatinib?

Dasatinib is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for 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
HEM-iSMART is a master protocol which investigates multiple investigational medicinal products in children, adolescents and young adults (AYA) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) ALL and LBL. Sub-protocol B is a phase I/II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of dasatinib + venetocolax in combination with dexamethasone + Cyclophosphamide and cytarabine in children and AYA with R/R ped ALL/LBL whose tumor present with alterations in the MAPK/SRC pathway.
