National Treatment Program of Philadelphia Chromosome-negative Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Pegylated Asparaginase Added to a Lineage-Targeted Risk- and Minimal Residual Disease-Oriented Strategy
This study will be conducted in different centres and will study adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The study treatment will include a induction/consolidation therapy incorporating pegylated Asparaginase (Peg-ASP) and lineage-targeted high-dose methotrexate plus other antileukemic drugs, for the achievement of an early negative minimal residual disease (MRD) status. The MRD study supports a risk/MRD-oriented final consolidation phase.
