About this trial
This is an open-label, prospective clinical cohort study evaluating the efficacy and safety of reduced-intensity chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy in adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). The study consists of two integrated parts. The first part is a randomized controlled comparison to investigate the role of venetoclax, a BCL2 inhibitor, when added to a backbone of olverembatinib (a third-generation TKI) and reduced-intensity chemotherapy (VPVO regimen) during the first three cycles of induction/consolidation therapy. The second part is a single-arm exploration of inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) combined with TKI and chemotherapy as a consolidation strategy for patients who complete the 90-day primary endpoint assessment but do not receive blinatumomab, offering an alternative to blinatumomab-based regimens. The primary endpoint for the venetoclax part is the rate of BCR-ABL \< 0.01% at day 90. The primary endpoint for the InO consolidation part is modified event-free survival (EFS) from the start of InO treatment. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), cumulative incidence of molecular and hematologic relapse, NGS MRD negativity rates, and safety profiles including cardiovascular events and SOS/VOD. The study aims to enroll 110 patients in the initial phase and an additional 78 patients for the InO consolidation phase.
