Targeted drug plus chemotherapy for adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 3, randomized, controlled trial enrolls adults newly diagnosed with T-ALL and randomizes them 1:1 to receive standard chemotherapy with or without a targeted agent. All participants receive standard induction chemotherapy, and the treatment arm receives a targeted drug chosen based on bone marrow PCR testing. Patients are treatment-naïve, have ECOG performance status 0–2, and undergo regular bone marrow examinations and disease monitoring to guide subsequent therapy. The trial is conducted at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, with outcomes including response, relapse, safety, and survival compared between arms.
