About this study

Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) includes Ph-positive (Phpos) ALL, Ph-negative (Phneg) B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL and T-ALL/lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL), accounting for approximately 25, 50 and 25% of all cases, respectively. In younger adults, the results associated with standard therapy have markedly improved in these 3 groups, due to chemotherapy intensification in the BCP and T groups and addition of TKIs in the Phpos group, respectively. This led to reevaluate the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in first remission, which is generally now indicated only in higher-risk patients, mostly defined as those with persistent high levels of minimal residual disease (MRD). Nevertheless, event-free survival (EFS) remains at 60-70% at 3 years, meaning there is still room for further improvements.

Fortunately, new immunotherapies have been approved to treat relapsed/refractory (R/R) BCP-ALL patients, including the anti-CD19 bispecific T-cell engager blinatumomab (BLINA, Blincyto®, Amgen). 4 BLINA is also approved for the frontline treatment of patients with persistent high measurable residual disease (MRD) levels after initial therapy (IG/TR MRD ≥0.1% (≥1.10-3

)). BLINA has been also evaluated frontline in combination with TKI in the Phpos group leading to promising outcome improvements. Toxicities associated with these combined treatments seem to be limited and manageable. In the Phpos ALL subset, the third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib (PONA, Iclusig®, Incyte) has also been evaluated frontline with promising results when compared to 1st or even 2nd generation TKI. In the T-ALL/LL subset, anti-CD38 antibodies, approved to treat patients with multiple myeloma, are potential drugs of interest. The anti-CD38 antibody isatuximab (ISA, Sarclisa®, Immunogen, Sanofi-Aventis) is currently approved to treat myeloma patients in 2nd line. In vitro and in vivo preclinical studies suggest that CD38 is a relevant target in T-ALL and that isatuximab may be useful to eradicate residual disease in this subgroup of patients. Incorporation/combination of these new agents into frontline adult ALL therapy could allow reducing relapse incidence and prolonging survival in these patients, challenging the indication for HSCT in first complete remission (CR).

The present GRAALL-2024 study is a prospective multicenter multi-country 3-cohort randomized clinical trial.

The 3 cohorts are :

GRAALL-2024/B : Phneg BCP-ALL GRAAPH-2024 : Phpos ALL GRAALL-2024/T : T-ALL/LL

Eligible patients will be allocated to one on the 3 study cohorts during a common treatment prephase. The primary objective of the study is to improve the outcome of younger adults with ALL through optimal frontline incorporation of new antibody-based therapies, including BLINA in Phneg/pos BCP-ALL patients and ISA in T-ALL/LL patients, and to refine indication for allogeneic HSCT in first remission in Phneg/pos BCP-ALL patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Randomization + Blinatumomab + chemotherapy, Randomization + Standard frontline T-ALL chemotherapy backbone and Randomization + Isatuximab + Standard frontline T-ALL chemotherapy backbone in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 29 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Nicolas Boissel, MD PhD (1 42 49 96 43 ext. +33, nicolas.boissel@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: At 5 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Feb 2026.
