Phase II Study of Hyper-CVAD Plus Nelarabine in Previously Untreated T-ALL and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

Description

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well combination chemotherapy and nelarabine work in treating patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, methotrexate, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, prednisone, pegaspargase, nelarabine, and venetoclax work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the complete remission (CR) rate and progression-free survival following treatment with hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and dexamethasone (hyper-CVAD) in combination with nelarabine in previously untreated patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. II. To determine the safety and overall survival of previously untreated pat
