What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating Isatuximab in adults with relapsed or refractory CD38 positive T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL). The study includes two patient groups: those with full cytologic relapse (Cohort 1) and those with molecular failure or relapse but hematologic remission (Cohort 2). The trial aims to optimize initial therapy by modifying induction treatment or establishing post-induction therapy to eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD). Participants in Cohort 1 will receive two cycles of induction therapy combining standard chemotherapy, Bortezomib, and Isatuximab, with possible Isatuximab maintenance until stem cell transplant, disease progression, or other endpoints. Cohort 2 patients will receive Isatuximab alone in cycles of four weeks, continuing until stem cell transplant, relapse, or other specified reasons. The study evaluates these two strategies simultaneously. Participants will undergo assessments including hematologic response, molecular response, adverse event monitoring, and quality of life measurements at various time points such as Day 22, Week 9, and months 3 and 6. Secondary outcomes include remission probabilities, survival rates, relapse incidence, graft-versus-host disease monitoring, treatment adherence, and hospitalization days. The overall participation period averages 18 months with ongoing safety and efficacy evaluations.

Your Study Journey
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Variable duration depending on individual treatment until stem cell transplant, relapse, or discontinuation
Participants receive Isatuximab as part of their treatment. Cohort 1 participants receive two cycles of induction therapy with standard chemotherapy, Bortezomib, and Isatuximab. Maintenance Isatuximab may be given until stem cell transplant, progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other reasons. Cohort 2 participants receive Isatuximab alone in repeated 4-week cycles until stem cell transplant, relapse, unacceptable toxicity, or other reasons.
Visits occur with each treatment cycle; cycles last 4 weeks
Duration - Up to 18 months
Participants are monitored for response, adverse events, and survival outcomes after treatment ends.
Periodic visits up to 18 months post-treatment
