Summary

This trial is studying the side effects and efficacy of blinatumomab and combination chemotherapy or dasatinib and prednisone in treating older patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older patients (65+) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), including those with Philadelphia chromosome positive ALL or Ph-like DSMKF. It's suitable for newly diagnosed, relapsed, or refractory cases. Participants must have a certain percentage of lymphoblasts in blood/marrow and be able to provide consent for immunogenicity testing. Exclusions include CNS3 status, Burkitt's leukemia, prior significant treatments for ALL within specific time frames before registration, uncontrolled infections, and other serious health conditions.
What is being tested?
The trial tests blinatumomab combined with chemotherapy drugs like prednisone and vincristine versus dasatinib plus prednisone and blinatumomab in treating older adults with ALL. Blinatumomab is an immunotherapy that may help the immune system attack cancer cells while dasatinib targets enzymes needed by cancer cells to grow.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system's response to treatment which can affect organ function; infusion-related reactions; fatigue; digestive issues such as nausea or diarrhea; blood disorders like low counts of various types of blood cells leading to increased infection risk.
