HOW I TREAT PH+ ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA by Robin Foà

“…I have been asked to cover ‘How I Treat Ph+ALL’, which more appropriately should be ‘How Should I Treat Ph+ LL’ Based on the 25-year experience gathered through the GIMEMA trials, the optimal algorithm should be: i) Identify the presence of the BCR/ABL gene lesion within one week from diagnosis; ii) During this time treat patients with steroids; iii) Start induction with dasatinib or ponatinib plus steroids, with no systemic chemotherapy; iv) CNS prophylaxis should be carried out; v) MRD should be monitored molecularly at given timepoints; vi) After induction, all patients should be consolidated with multiple cycles of blinatumomab (up to 5 in our protocols); vii) TKI should not be stopped. …”
