A Phase 1 Study of ABL001 in Combination With Dasatinib, Prednisone, and Blinatumomab in Patients With BCR-ABL Positive (BCR-ABL+) B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
Marlise Luskin, MD
Summary
This research study is evaluating a drug called ABL001 taken in combination with dasatinib (Sprycel®) and prednisone (a steroid) as a possible treatment for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia that is BCR-ABL positive (BCR-ABL+ B-ALL) or Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in lymphoid blast crisis. BCR-ABL+ B-ALL is also called Philadelphia chromosome positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL). It is expected that 40-65 people will take part in this research study. * ABL001 * Dasatinib (Sprycel®) * Prednisone * Blinatumomab
Description
This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. There is currently no clinical data on the effects of ABL001 in combination with dasatinib and prednisone among adults with Ph+ B-ALL or CML in lymphoid blast crisis. However, there is data on the use of ABL001 in combination with dasatinib (without steroids) in patients with relapsed Ph+ B-ALL and Ph+ chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Dasat…
