Study #2017-0313
Phase I/II Study of the Combination of Venetoclax (ABT-199), Ponatinib and Corticosteroids in Patients with Philadelphia Chromosome (Ph)-Positive and/or BCR-ABL Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Lymphoid Blast Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leuke
MD Anderson Study Status
Not Accepting
Treatment Agent
Dexamethasone, Ponatinib Hydrochloride, Rituximab, Venetoclax
Description
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose of venetoclax when given together with ponatinib and dexamethasone and to see how well they work in treating participants with Philadelphia chromosome or BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic myelogenous leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as venetoclax and dexamethasone, 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. Ponatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving venetoclax, ponatinib, and dexamethasone may work better in treating participants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic myelogenous leukemia.
