About This Trial

The main goal of this study is to improve the outcome of children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with high risk first relapse by optimization of treatment strategies within a large international trial and the integration of new agents.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 250 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT03590171), the sponsor (Charite University, Berlin, Germany), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions? See our 25 questions to ask about clinical trials guide for a more complete checklist.
