What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Calaspargase pegol (S95015)Drug

    Part 1: S95015 will be administered at dose of 2000 U/m2, 1500 U/m2 or 1000 U/m2 (dose level based on age and BMI) via a 2-hour intravenous infusion at Day 4 (or 5, or 6) of the induction phase, Days 15 and 43 of the consolidation phase, Day 22 of the interim maintenance phase and Days 4 (or 5, or 6) and 43 of the delayed intensification phase. S95015 starting doses for age and BMI groups will be confirmed.

    Patients will receive premedication prior to calaspargase pegol administration (acetaminophen, histamine-1 blocker, and corticosteroids to prevent hypersensitivity reaction) and other backbone chemotherapy agents based on the CALGB 10403 protocol treatment regimen.

    Part 2: Patients aged 22 to 39 years + BMI ≤ 35 kg/m2 will be treated with S95015 1750 U/m2.

    Patients aged 40 to < 55 years + BMI ≤ 35 kg/m2 will be treated with S95015 1500 U/m2, unchanged from Part 1. Patients 55 years or older or those with a BMI greater than 35 kg/m2 will no longer be enrolled into Part 2.

Individual data sharing
Yes: Qualified scientific and medical researchers can request access to anonymized patient-level and study-level clinical trial data. Access can be requested for all interventional clinical studies: * used for Marketing Authorization (MA) of medicines and new indications approved after 1 January 2014 in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United States (US). * where Servier is the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH). The date of the first MA of the new medicine (or the new indication) in one of the EEA Member States will be considered for this scope. In addition, access can be requested for all interventional clinical studies in patients: * sponsored by Servier * with a first patient enrolled as of 1 January 2004 onwards * for New Chemical Entity or New Biological Entity (new pharmaceutical form excluded) for which development has been terminated before any Marketing authorization (MA) approval.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Calaspargase pegol (S95015) in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Institut de Recherches Internationales Servier at 21 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Oct 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Through study completion, approximately 3.5 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04817761, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Oct 2026.
