Brief Summary:
This is a nonrandomized study of ruxolitinib in combination with a standard multi-agent chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Part 1 of the study will optimize the dose of study drug (ruxolitinib) in combination with the chemotherapy regimen. Part 2 will evaluate the efficacy of combination chemotherapy and ruxolitinib at the recommended dose determined in Part 1.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part 1: Safety/tolerability of ruxolitinib in combination with chemotherapy as measured by adverse events (AEs), vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and echocardiograms [ Time Frame: Part 1: AEs assessed from screening through up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug, expected to be 26 months (females) or 38 months (males) ]
  2. Part 2: Efficacy of ruxolitinib in combination with chemotherapy as measured by Event-free survival, defined as the percentage of patients alive without relapse, progression, or death at 3 years from study Day 1 [ Time Frame: Part 2: assessed at 3 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and tolerability of the combination treatment for subjects beginning treatment at the recommended dose for Part 2, as assessed by AEs, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and echocardiograms [ Time Frame: AEs assessed from screening through up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, expected to be 26 months (females) or 38 months (males) ]
