Summary

This trial is studying side effects and efficacy of combine chemo w/ or w/o donor stem cell transplant for treating patients w/ acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who have not had more than one prior treatment, are not HIV positive, and do not have significant heart disease or other serious health issues. They must be Philadelphia chromosome or BCR/ABL positive and cannot be pregnant. A matched stem cell donor must be available.
What is being tested?
The study tests if combination chemotherapy with or without a donor stem cell transplant can effectively treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It examines how well multiple drugs work together to stop cancer growth and whether a transplant can help the immune system fight cancer cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Side effects may include damage to organs from chemotherapy drugs, increased risk of infection post-transplant, potential graft-versus-host disease where the donated cells attack the body, fatigue, nausea, hair loss, mouth sores, and low blood counts.
