Treatment for relapsed or refractory B-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 clinical trial investigates the efficacy and safety of a combination treatment regimen consisting of cladribine, venetoclax, and cytarabine (CAV) for patients with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia Chromosome-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The study aims to address the challenges faced by patients who have not responded to standard therapies, as current treatments often have low remission rates or are prohibitively expensive. By exploring the CAV regimen, the trial seeks to provide a new therapeutic option for this difficult-to-treat population.
