Read the transcript

This trial is for people older than fifteen with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, Burkitt leukemia or lymphoma, or double-hit leukemia or lymphoma. Philadelphia-positive leukemia is eligible for phase two.

The idea: multi-drug chemotherapy attacks cancer growth, with bortezomib blocking protein breakdown. Treatment also includes an antibody and blood-cell support. Induction may be repeated if needed, followed by up to five consolidation courses. Researchers measure remission, side effects, and survival.

This phase 2 study plans 42 patients. Maro Ohanian leads at MD Anderson in Houston, the sole recruiting US site.
