Randomized Trial in Adult de Novo Ph Positive ALL With Chemotherapy, Imatinib or Ponatinib, Blinatumomab and SCT
A Multicentre, Randomized Trial in Adults With de Novo Philadelphia-Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia to Assess the Efficacy of Ponatinib Versus Imatinib in Combination With Low-intensity Chemotherapy, to Compare End of Therapy With Indication for SCT Versus TKI, Blinatumomab and Chemotherapy in Optimal Responders and to Evaluate Blinatumomab in Suboptimal Responders (GMALL-EVOLVE)
About This Trial
The current Standard of Care (SoC) in younger patients with Ph+ ALL is Imatinib in combination with low-dose chemotherapy, change of TKI in case of persistent MRD above 10-3 after consolidation I and indication for stem cell transplantation. The EVOLVE trial aims to answer three questions challenging the current SoC: Use of Ponatinib compared to Imatinib both in combination with low-dose chemotherapy and consolidation I (randomization I). In MRD good responders: Omit end of therapy in primary care and indication for SCT but continue therapy with TKI, chemotherapy and Blinatumomab as additional antileukemic compound (randomization II). In MRD poor responders: Omit indication for TKI change but give instead Blinatumomab followed by end of therapy in primary care and indication for SCT (non-randomized).

Treatments Being Tested
Imatinib
Imatinib 600mg QD plus Chemotherapy
Ponatinib
Ponatinib 45 mg QD plus chemotherapy
Blinatumomab
Patients with molecular failure or intermediate response receive one cycle Blinatumomab before SCT; Patients with molecular CR randomized to the experimental arm receive 3 cycles Blinatumomab + chemotherapy
Indication for stem cell transplantation
Patients with molecular CR randomized to the standard arm have an indication for SCT; patients with molecular failure or intermediate response have an indication for SCT. SCT is not part of the trial.
