- Event-Free Survival (EFS) of Patients With Standard-risk Disease Treated With Dasatinib in Combination With Intensified Chemotherapy [ Time Frame: At 3 years ]Event-Free Survival (EFS) curves will be constructed using the Kaplan-Meier life table method with standard errors computed using the method of Peto and Peto. A 1-sided 95% confidence interval for EFS will be constructed.
- Feasibility and Toxicity of an Intensified Chemotherapeutic Regimen Incorporating Dasatinib for Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Ph+ ALL Assessed by Examining Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Weeks 3 through 23 of treatment (From week 3 Induction through Intensification Block 1) ]Number of patients in safety cohort with dose limiting toxicity (DLT)(including treatment delay)
- Contribution of Dasatinib on Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) After Induction Therapy [ Time Frame: At the end of induction therapy (at 5 weeks) ]Percent of patients MRD Positive (MRD > 0.01%) at End of Induction.
- Percent of Patients MRD Positive (MRD > 0.01%) at End of Consolidation [ Time Frame: At end of consolidation (at 11 weeks) ]A 1-sample Z-test of proportions (alpha=5%, 1-sided test) will be used.
- Overall EFS Rate for the Combined Cohort of Standard- and High-Risk Patients (Who Receive the Final Chosen Dose of Dasatinib) [ Time Frame: From the time entry on study to first event or date of last follow-up, assessed up to 7 years ]An event is defined as: Induction failure, relapse at any site, secondary malignancy, or death.

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
- Definitive evidence of BCR-ABL fusion (Philadelphia chromosome positive [PH+]) from an approved Children's Oncology Group (COG) cytogenetics laboratory
-
Meets one of the following criteria:
- Concurrent enrollment on Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG)-AALL03B1 (or a successor trial) AND COG-AALL0232, COG-AALL0331, COG-AALL0434 or other front-line COG ALL clinical trial
- Concurrent enrollment on COG-AALL03B1 (or a successor trial) AND scheduled to receive a 3 or 4-drug standard induction regimen
- Concurrent enrollment on a Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) Childhood ALL Consortium trial (or scheduled to be treated as per a DFCI Childhood ALL Consortium induction regimen)
- All patients must have definitive evidence of BCR-ABL fusion from an approved COG cytogenetics laboratory; patients may NOT have received Day 15 of Induction chemotherapy (or day 18 vincristine if enrolled on a DFCI Childhood ALL Consortium trial) prior to enrollment on AALL0622
- Patients must have a performance status of 0, 1 or 2 at completion of two weeks of Induction; use Karnofsky for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky for patients =< 16 years of age
-
Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 70mL/min/1.73 m^2 or maximum serum creatinine based on age and gender as follows:
- 0.4 mg/dL (for patients 1 to 5 months of age)
- 0.5 mg/dL (for patients 6 to 11 months of age)
- 0.6 mg/dL (for patients 1 year of age)
- 0.8 mg/dL (for patients 2 to 5 years of age)
- 1.0 mg/dL (for patients 6 to 9 years of age)
- 1.2 mg/dL (for patients 10 to 12 years of age)
- 1.5 mg/dL (males) or 1.4 mg/dL (females) (for patients 13 to 15 years of age)
- 1.7 mg/dL (males) or 1.4 mg/dL (females) (for patients >= 16 years of age)

- Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) (alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) < 2.5 times ULN for age
- Shortening fraction >= 27% by echocardiogram or ejection fraction >= 50% by gated radionuclide study
- No evidence of dyspnea at rest, no exercise intolerance, and a pulse oximetry > 94% at sea level if there is clinical indication for determination
- Patients with seizure disorder may be enrolled if on anticonvulsants and well controlled; however, drugs that induce CYP3A4/5 (carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, primidone, phenobarbital) should be avoided
- Patients will start AALL0622 therapy on day 15 of induction therapy (or day 18 if enrolled on a DFCI Childhood ALL Consortium trial); patients must have received the first 2 weeks of Induction therapy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test; patients of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective birth control method
- Female patients who are lactating must agree to stop breast-feeding
- Patients with Down syndrome
-
Patients with any clinically significant cardiovascular disease including the following:
- Myocardial infarction or ventricular tachyarrhythmia within 6 months
- Ejection fraction less than institutional normal
- Major conduction abnormality (unless a cardiac pacemaker is present)
