Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate an integrated treatment protocol for adults with Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph- ALL), combining induction chemotherapy, consolidation therapy, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) to improve treatment efficacy and survival rates. The single-arm, open-label, multicenter study will enroll 50 newly diagnosed patients aged 18-60 years. The induction phase employs the VICP+VEN regimen (vindesine, idarubicin, cyclophosphamide, prednisone combined with venetoclax), followed by consolidation therapy with either Hyper-CVAD or CAM protocols, with eligible patients proceeding to allo-HSCT. Primary endpoints include disease-free survival (DFS) and complete remission (CR) rates, while secondary endpoints encompass relapse rate, overall survival (OS), and safety. Patients will be followed for 2 years with regular monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) and adverse events. The protocol is designed to reduce relapse risk through intensive therapy and transplantation, offering a potential cure for high-risk patients.The goal is to complete the entire treatment within 4 months after diagnosis.

Detailed Description

1. Intervention Measures 1.1 Induction Therapy Regimen

VICP+VEN regimen:

* Vindesine: 3 mg/m²/day (max 4 mg), administered on days 1, 8, 15, 22.

* Idarubicin (IDA): 8 mg/m², days 1, 8, 15, 22.

* Cyclophosphamide (CTX): 500 mg/m², days 7, 21.

* Prednisone: 1 mg/kg/day, days 1-14; 0.5 mg/kg/day, days 15-28

* Venetoclax (VEN) 8-day ramp-up: Day 1: 100 mg, Day 2: 200 mg, Days 3-8: 400 mg/day 1.2 Pre-Treatment Regimen

Indications for pre-treatment:

* WBC ≥30×10⁹/L, or significant hepatosplenomegaly/lymphadenopathy.

* Laboratory signs of tumor lysis syndrome (e.g., electrolyte abnormalities).

Pre-treatment protocol:

* Glucocorticoids (e.g., prednisone or dexamethasone): Prednisone 1 mg/kg/day (PO/IV) for 3-5 days.

* Optional addition of CTX: 200 mg/m²/day IV for 3-5 days. 1.3 Post-CR Treatment

Principles:

1. MRD-positive or rising: Administer blinatumomab (CD19/CD3 bispecific antibody) for residual disease clearance, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

2. MRD-negative/unknown: Continue multi-agent chemotherapy ± blinatumomab consolidation. Allo-HSCT for patients with high-risk clinical/genetic features.

1.4 Post-CR Consolidation Regimens

① Hyper-CVAD-B (Methotrexate/Cytarabine-based):

* Methotrexate (MTX): 1 g/m² IV over 24h (Day 1) with urine alkalinization (pH \>7.0) and leucovorin rescue.

* Cytarabine (Ara-C): 1 g/m² IV q12h (Days 2-3; total 4 doses).

* Dexamethasone: 40 mg/day (PO/IV, Days 1-4).

* Cycle interval: 21-28 days (alternating with other regimens).

* CAM Regimen:

* CTX: 750 mg/m² IV (split over 2 days).

* Ara-C: 75 mg/m²/dose (8 days; 1-2 doses/day IV; if once daily, administer 5 days/week × 2 weeks).

* 6-MP: 50-75 mg/m²/day fasting (7-14 days PO). 1.5 Transplant-Eligible Subsequent Therapy

* Allo-HSCT for eligible patients after induction.

* Conditioning regimen: TBI-VP16-CY.

* Donor priority: HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD), Matched unrelated donor (MUD), Haploidentical donor (Haplo). (Consider age/donor health status).

1.6 Allo-HSCT Protocol 1.6.1 Conditioning Regimen (TBI-VP16-Cy/ATG):

• TBI: 5 Gy (Days -7 to -6).

* VP16: 10 mg/kg/day (Days -5 to -4).

* CTX: 30 mg/kg/day (Days -3 to -2).

* ATG: 7.5 mg/kg/day (Days -5 to -2). 1.6.2 GVHD Prophylaxis:

* Basiliximab (anti-CD25 mAb): 50 mg (Days +1, +4).

* Standard regimen: Cyclosporine (CsA): IV: 2 mg/kg/day (start Day -9; target level 150-250 μg/L). PO: 3-5 mg/kg/day BID (switch delayed until Day +10 if no aGVHD); Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) + short-course methotrexate.

1.7 Non-Transplant Maintenance Therapy

Options:

* Hyper-CVAD-B (Methotrexate/Cytarabine-based):

• Methotrexate (MTX): 1 g/m² IV over 24h (Day 1) with urine alkalinization (pH \>7.0) and leucovorin rescue.

• Cytarabine (Ara-C): 1 g/m² IV q12h (Days 2-3; total 4 doses).

• Dexamethasone: 40 mg/day (PO/IV, Days 1-4).

* Cycle interval: 21-28 days (alternating with other regimens).

* CAM Regimen:

* CTX: 750 mg/m² IV (split over 2 days).

* Ara-C: 75 mg/m²/dose (8 days; 1-2 doses/day IV; if once daily, administer 5 days/week × 2 weeks).

* 6-MP: 50-75 mg/m²/day fasting (7-14 days PO).

* Maintenance (6-MP/MTX alternating with V-Dex): 6-MP: 75 mg/m²/day at bedtime (Days 1-21); MTX: 20 mg/m² IM weekly × 3 weeks.\*Adjust doses to maintain WBC \~3×10⁹/L, ANC 1.0-1.5×10⁹/L.\*
