Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Imatinib is safe and effective in association with intensive treatment of Ph+ALL in children.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Philadelphia Chromosome Drug: Standard chemotherapy + Imatinib Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Recent advances in treatment have increased the cure of childhood ALL to 75% or better. However, attempts to improve results for resistant subtypes of ALL, such as Ph+ ALL, have been largely unsuccessful. Imatinib, an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinases, is currently being tested in several phase I, II and III trials covering most Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patient populations and patients with overtly relapsed or refractory Ph+ALL. Pediatric patients with Ph+ALL will receive Imatinib, added to intensive, post-induction BFM-type chemotherapy. The endpoint will be the evaluation on the long-term clinical outcome, in particular on the Disease Free Survival (DFS).

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Good risk Ph+ALL
For protocols which adopt a steroid prephase: patients who are Prednisone-good responder and achieve CR after the induction course. For protocols which do not adopt steroid prephase: patients who have M1/M2 BM at day 15 or M1 BM at day 21 and achieve CR after the induction course. Expected stratification in this group: 70-75%.
 Drug: Standard chemotherapy + Imatinib
Patients receive Imatinib together with the standard chemotherapy regimen of phase IB and after each of three consecutive blocks of the standard chemotherapy in the consolidation phase
Other Names:
  • Glivec
  • Gleevec
Poor risk Ph+ALL
For protocols which adopt a steroid prephase: patients who are Prednisone poor-responders. For protocol which do not adopt a steroid prephase: patients who have M3 BM at day 15 or M2/M3 BM at day 21. For all protocols: patients who do not achieve CR after the induction course. Expected stratification: 25-30%.
 Drug: Standard chemotherapy + Imatinib
Patients receive Imatinib together with the standard chemotherapy regimen of phase IB and after each of three consecutive blocks of the standard chemotherapy in the consolidation phase
Other Names:
  • Glivec
  • Gleevec


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Disease free survival (DFS). DFS will be calculated as the time from inclusion to either one of the following events: relapse, death in CCR, second malignancies. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Compare long term outcome between patients treated by BFM-chemotherapy and patient undergoing more intensive chemotherapy (protocole COGAALL0031 : Children Oncology Group-USA). [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  2. Long-term clinical outcome : Disease free survival (DFS), Event-Free Survival (EFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in each risk groups. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  3. Pattern of molecular response (MRD) [ Time Frame: 5 time points between S4 and S22 ]
  4. Conversion rate to CR in patients resistant to the first part of the induction phase of chemotherapy included in the Poor-risk group. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
