Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 phase II trial is testing a combination of chemotherapy drugs plus nelarabine in 160 people with previously untreated T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. The goal is to see if this stronger cocktail can improve remission rates and help people live longer without the cancer coming back. Researchers are also closely watching for side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
combination chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, methotrexate, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, prednisone, pegaspargase, nelarabine, venetoclax)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more effective treatment option for people with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma, potentially improving remission rates and long-term survival.
What could go wrong
This is a phase II trial, so it is still early. The combination may cause significant side effects, and it is not yet known if it will be better than standard treatments. Results may not apply to all patients.
