This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether the targeted drug inotuzumab ozogamicin can eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD) in adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) before they receive a stem cell transplant. Participants have either Philadelphia chromosome-positive or -negative ALL with detectable MRD after prior therapy. The goal is to see if the drug can make MRD undetectable, which may lead to better transplant outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
inotuzumab ozogamicin, an antibody-drug conjugate that targets cancer cells
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more patients achieve a cancer-free state before a stem cell transplant, potentially improving long-term outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase study with a small number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug can cause serious side effects like liver damage and low blood cell counts.

Exclusion Criteria: * More than 5% of BM blasts. * WHO performance status ≤ 50% (Karnofsky) or ≥ 3 (ECOG). * Active HBV or HCV hepatitis, or AST/ALT ≥ 2.5 x ULN and bilirubine ≥ 1.5 x ULN. * Evidence of liver fibrosis, portal hypertension or other clinically relevant liver abnormalities at screening liver ultrasonography. * History of alcohol abuse. * Burkitt lymphoma and active CNS leukemia. Patients with previuos neurological toxicitiy as well co-morbidity will be carefully evaluated for enrolment. * Ongoing or active infections. * Uncontrolled hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides \>450 mg/dL). Clinically significant, uncontrolled, or active cardiovascular disease. * Uncontrolled hypertension (diastolic blood pressure \>90 mm Hg; systolic \>140 mm Hg). Patients with hypertension should be under treatment on study entry to effect blood pressure control. * Creatinine level \> 2.5mg/dl or Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) \< 20 ml/min or proteinuria \> 3.5 g/day. * Documented inherited protrombotic disorders * Patients who have received any investigational drug ≤ 4 weeks. * Patients who have undergone major surgery ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy. * Patients with a history of another primary malignancy that is currently clinically significant or currently requires active intervention or with a life expectancy due to other malignancy \<6 months. * Patients that have received Inotuzumab or Anti CD22 directed therapies before * Patients with known hereditary coagulopathy * Patient that received during their life diagnosis of VOD or had ongoing VOD * Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding and adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control (women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 48 hrs prior to administration of induction therapy). Postmenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Male and female patients must agree to employ an effective barrier method of birth control throughout the study and for up to 4 months following discontinuation of study drugs. * Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol.
