  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. A peripheral stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. When the healthy stem cells are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Giving combination chemotherapy together with imatinib mesylate and peripheral stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Nevertheless, in the last few years GIMEMA has pubblished a paper in which 100% of Ph+ ALL patients reach HCR only with Imatinib, without any chemiotherapy. Thus, this treatment will be implemented in patients pertaining to this category.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Disease-free survival [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Evaluation of disease free survival in patients with high risk of remission obtaining a Complete Remission as from the date of hematological complete remission.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Complete response after HAM [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Evaluation, in terms of complete response, of HAM as 2nd line treatment in resistant patients not in progression after the 2nd or 3rd induction cycle

  • Feasibility of minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Feasibility of minimal residual disease in hight and standard risk patients

  • Negative prognostic role of MRD positivity [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Rate of complete hematological response after induction therapy in Ph+ patients [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Disease free survival in Ph+ patients [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Cumulative incidence of relapse [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Molecular monitoring of BCR/ABL after complete hematological response [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Overall survival [ Time Frame: At 4 years from study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Overall survival from diagnosis
