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.

Treatments tested in this trial
Olverembatinib
DrugThird-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting BCR-ABL1, including T315I mutation.nduction \& Consolidation: 40mg every other day. After achieving CMR: Reduced to 20mg every other day during maintenance.
Venetoclax
DrugBCL-2 inhibitor. Used only in the experimental arm.Induction: Ramp-up: 100mg D1, 200mg D2, 400mg D3-28. Consolidation: 400mg D1-7.
Blinatumomab
DrugCD19/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE). Optional add-on therapy 1.Start from 4 cycle. Duration: 1-4 cycles (each cycle = 28 days), intercalated with chemotherapy cycles. Note: If ≥3 cycles given,cycle 8 and 9 are omitted.
Chemotherapy Backbone Regimens
DrugInduction (VPO/VPVO): Vincristine + Prednisone + Olverembatinib (± Venetoclax). Consolidation (VOVP/OVP): Vincristine +Olverembatinib + Prednisone (± Venetoclax). HD-MTX: High-dose methotrexate with leucovorin rescue in cycle 4,6,8. ID-AraC: Intermediate-dose cytarabine in cycle 5,7,9.
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-HSCT)
Other interventionRecommended for patients with MRD ≥0.01% after two treatment blocks.
Inotuzumab ozogamicin
DrugOptional add-on therapy 2. Start from 4 cycle. at a total dose of 2 mg per cycle. TKI should be discontinued 5 days prior to InO administration, and olverembatinib oral therapy should be resumed one week after InO administration. For patients who remain NGS MRD-positive after one cycle of InO, a repeat cycle of InO may be considered. Note: If 2 cycles given,cycle 9 are omitted.
