Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if intensive chemotherapy, combined with imatinib mesylate (Gleevec, STI571) given for 8 courses over 6 months, followed by maintenance imatinib mesylate plus chemotherapy for 2 years, followed by imatinib mesylate indefinitely can improve Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of previously untreated Ph-positive ALL or previously treated in CR after 1-2 courses of therapy or failure after one course of induction chemotherapy without imatinib mesylate.
  • Age > or = 15 years. Those < 15 years of age will be treated under compassionate IND.
  • Zubrod performance status < or = 2 (ECOG Scale, Appendix A).
  • Adequate liver function (bilirubin < or = to 3.0 mg/dl, unless considered due to tumor), and renal function (creatinine < or = to 3.0 mg/dl, unless considered due to tumor).
  • Adequate cardiac function as assessed clinically by physical examination.
  • Signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Active serious infection not controlled by oral or intravenous antibiotics.
  • Treatment with investigational antileukemic agent or chemotherapy agents in the last 7 days before study entry, unless full recovery from side-effects has occurred or patient has rapidly progressive disease judged life-threatening.
  • Active secondary malignancy other than skin cancer (e.g. basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma) than in investigator's opinion will shorten survival to less than 1 year.
  • History of Grade III/IV cardiac problems as defined by the New York Heart Association Criteria.
  • Prior history of treatment with imatinib mesylate.
  • Pregnancy or lactating in women of childbearing potential.
