  Purpose

This proposal, developed in the framework of the GIMEMA, will permit:

  • to evaluate the activity and toxicity of imatinib in the treatment of Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia;
  • to evaluate the molecular response to the treatment, and to monitor the molecular status of remission in all cases achieving or not a molecular response.

The GIMEMA has activated a network to centralize all biological samples (bone marrow and peripheral blood) at diagnosis from all new ALL patients. This will permit to identify, in particular, Ph + and/or BCR/ABL + cases within 5 days from diagnosis, thus permitting to treat these patients according to different programs on the basis of the presence of Ph chromosome.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • for Study A, the primary endpoint for activity is overall CMR rate [ Time Frame: after 6 months of imatinib treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • for Study B, the primary endpoint for activity is overall CHR (+/- CMR) rate . [ Time Frame: after induction treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • complete hematological or molecular remission duration [ Time Frame: at study end ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • overall survival. [ Time Frame: at study end ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
