Summary

This early-phase trial is testing whether adding the targeted drug ruxolitinib to standard chemotherapy is safe for adolescents and young adults (ages 12-39) with a specific, high-risk form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia called Ph-like ALL. The study aims to find the best dose and check for side effects in 15 newly diagnosed participants. If successful, this combination could improve treatment for this aggressive leukemia.
