New drug combo tested in fight against tough leukemia in young adults

NCT ID NCT03571321

Summary

This early-stage study aims to find out if adding a drug called ruxolitinib to standard chemotherapy is safe and tolerable for adolescents and young adults (ages 18-40) newly diagnosed with a specific, hard-to-treat form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The main goal is to check for side effects when the drugs are combined. Researchers will also look at whether this combination helps patients achieve a deeper remission and live longer.
