About this trial

In this project, the investigators intend to start a prospective registry for patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia-negative ALL from 16 years old and above in participating centers, provided that all patients will be treated with the same regimen (a pediatric regimen BFM-based incorporating peg-asparaginase). All diagnostic/follow-up (after induction and consolidation blocks) samples will be centrally biobanked at Instituto do Cancer do Estado de Sao Paulo. The main goal of this study is to examine whether the implementation of a pediatric protocol under a prospective registry can increase event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) of newly diagnosed patients in the participating centers.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Burkitt leukemia

Prior myeloproliferative disease

Philadelphia chromosome positivity through whichever methodology (RT-PCR, FISH, or conventional karyotype)

ECOG>2 (appendix 3)

Trial population

All patients from 16 years and above newly diagnosed with Philadelphia-negative ALL and after the signature of informed consent form (ICF). Patients between 16 and 17 years-old will sign a child assent along with a parental consent form. ICF application might be performed even under ALL suspicion only, given the need for sample collection before any therapy, ideally.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Overall survival (OS)

cumulative proportion of patients alive (considering the time between the date of diagnosis and death or last follow-up)

Time frame
4 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Event-free survival (EFS)

time between enrollment in the study and the occurrence of any event: refractoriness after the first two cycles of induction, death or relapse.

Time frame
4 years
2

Early death rate

proportion of patients who died before the first bone marrow evaluation of response (after induction I)

Time frame
60 days
3

Complete response rate

proportion of patients with bone marrow aspirate with less than 5% blasts and evidence of normal hematopoiesis; CSF without blasts and recovery of peripheral blood (neutrophils≥ 1,000/μL and platelets≥100,000/μL), without the need for transfusion

Time frame
60 days
4

Cumulative incidence of relapse

rate of disease relapse after CR calculated considering death as a competing event.

Time frame
4 years
