Study of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone for Relapsed B-cell ALL
A Phase 1 Study With a Pilot Expansion Phase of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone (IoVeX) for Relapsed B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)
Study of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone for Relapsed B-cell ALL (NCT06863259) is a Phase 1 interventional studying B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, sponsored by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the combination of drugs Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone (IoVeX) are safe to treat relapsed B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) in pediatric and adult patients. It will also learn if these drugs are well tolerated. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the drug combination of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone (IoVeX) safe when given to patients? What medical problems do patients taking IoVeX experience? Participants will: Receive this combination of drugs for 1 cycle which is 28 days at various timepoints. If participants tolerate cycle 1 they will be eligible to continue to cycle 2 which is also 28 days. Have checkups and tests at the beginning of the study and throughout the course of each cycle.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.
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.
With a target enrollment of 28 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Treatments Being Tested
Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone
Subjects will receive a course of inotuzumab ozogamicin administered by central venous catheter over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Venetoclax (by mouth or NG) and dexamethasone (by mouth, NG, or IV) are given daily per assigned dose level. Venetoclax and dexamethasone are started 2 days prior to inotuzumab to limit risk of tumor lysis syndrome with a two-day venetoclax ramp up in cycle 1. On days 1 and 8, venetoclax administration should be scheduled for 4 hours after the beginning of inotuzumab ozogamicin administration. If the patient is not able to ingest venetoclax at the scheduled time, it may still be given later in the day, but efforts should be made to administer the venetoclax within 2 hours of the scheduled time whenever possible.

Who can participate in NCT06863259?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT06863259?
Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
