Overview
Brief Summary
To explore the efficacy of a front-line chemo-free strategy based on the administration of Ponatinib plus steroids as induction treatment, followed by the infusion of Blinatumomab as consolidation in adult Ph+ ALL (=18 years, no upper age limit), and to compare it with a chemotherapy scheme combined with Imatinib (control arm), in terms of event-free survival (EFS), a composite endpoint, with events defined as: non achievement of MRD negativity (CMR or PNQ), deaths for any reason, toxicity and resistance (due or not to an ABL1 mutation development) in adult Ph+ ALL (=18 years, no upper age limit).

- •Active malignancy other than ALL with the exception of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma "in situ" of the cervix.
- •Active infection, any other concurrent disease or medical condition that are deemed to interfere with the conduct of the study as judged by the investigator.
- •Nursing women or women of childbearing potential not willing to use an effective form of contraception during participation in the study and at least 3 months thereafter or male patients not willing to ensure effective contraception during participation in the study and at least three months thereafter.

Secondary Outcomes
- DFS at 1 and 3 years.
- OS at 1 and 3 years.
- CIR.
- Safety profile. Safety profile in terms of incidence of grade =3 CTC-NCI side effects and toxicities.
- The feasibility of patients’ stratification to allo-SCT allocation on the basis of a refined MRD evaluation and on the presence/absence of IKZF1-plus).
- Capability of Blinatumomab to further reduce the MRD levels after Ponatinib induction.
- CMR or PNQ duration.
- Comparison of patients’ quality of life (QoL) profiles over time by randomization arms.
