Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adolescents and young adults diagnosed with Ph-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia who have not received prior treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with Ph-positive ALL or those with mature B phenotype acute leukemias will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational clinical trial aims to gather real-world evidence on the treatment outcomes and toxicities of adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with Ph-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Argentina. Participants will receive a first-line pediatric-like treatment protocol, and the study will assess survival rates, including event-free survival and overall survival, based on risk categories. Secondary endpoints include evaluating outcomes for patients who undergo allogeneic transplantation and assessing asparaginase toxicities. The trial will follow established guidelines for diagnosis and treatment throughout the participating institutions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve treatment outcomes for young adults with Ph-negative ALL by validating a pediatric-like treatment approach.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results using pediatric-like protocols for treating ALL, suggesting potential success for this approach in AYA patients.
