Brief Title: Safety and Efficacy of Imatinib Added to Chemotherapy in Treatment of Ph+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children
Official Title: An Open-label, Phase II Study to Explore the Safety and Efficacy of Imatinib With Chemotherapy in Pediatric Patients With Ph+ / BCR-ABL+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ALL)
Study ID: NCT00287105
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether Imatinib is safe and effective in association with intensive treatment of Ph+ALL in children.
Detailed Description: Recent advances in treatment have increased the cure of childhood ALL to 75% or better. However, attempts to improve results for resistant subtypes of ALL, such as Ph+ ALL, have been largely unsuccessful. Imatinib, an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinases, is currently being tested in several phase I, II and III trials covering most Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patient populations and patients with overtly relapsed or refractory Ph+ALL. Pediatric patients with Ph+ALL will receive Imatinib, added to intensive, post-induction BFM-type chemotherapy. The endpoint will be the evaluation on the long-term clinical outcome, in particular on the Disease Free Survival (DFS).
