A Phase 2 interventional study of Cyclophosphamide and Vincristine in Leukemia, sponsored by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 1 Year to 25 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-23.
Sponsored by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
To learn if cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dexamethasone (called mini hyper-CVD) in combination with intrathecal (delivered into the spine) chemotherapy (methotrexate, hydrocortisone, cytarabine) and compressed rituximab, blinatumomab, and inotuzumab ozogamicin (called cRIB) can help to control the disease.
Primary Objective:
--To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the sequential combination of mini-hyper-CVD with inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab and rituximab in relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients, based upon the complete response rate (CR).
Secondary Objectives:
Exploratory Objectives:
--To summarize associations between genomic alterations in ALL (current biomarker expression of the disease) with relation to the incidence of transition to HSCT in patients with PR or stable disease (SD) after the induction cycle(s).

Pediatric, adolescent, or young adult patients with B-ALL as per NCCN v2.2021 and WHO classification in relapse or primary and, either/both of the following: • Unable to receive anthracyclines (see section 3.1.8) or is PEG-asparaginase intolerant.
The following baseline laboratory data:
Females of must have a negative serum or urine beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drugs and must agree to use one of the following effective methods during the study and 30 days after the last treatment and 8 months after the last dose of inotuzumab and 12 months after the last dose of rituximab. Effective methods of birth control include:
Exclusion Criteria:
Past or current history of a secondary or other primary tumor or a chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) blast crisis with exception of:
Medical history of cardiovascular disease such as:
° Clinically significant cardiac disease including congestive heart failure ( class III or IV) or arrhythmia or conduction abnormality requiring medication
If patient has not recovered (as deemed by the investigator) from previous chemotherapy, surgery, radiation before the start of study drugs.
° To reduce the circulating blast count or palliation, the following are allowed prior to starting: Single dose intravenous cytarabine, or hydroxyurea. No washout necessary for these agents.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.
Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
After a transplant from a donor, the donor’s immune cells attack the recipient’s body, often the skin, gut or liver.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Incidence of Adverse Events, Graded According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version (v) 5.0
Time frame: through study completion; an average of 1 year.
Started Jul 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2027, 53 months after the start.
Of 144 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Leukemia, half reached primary completion within 92 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 60 and three quarters within 129. This study's planned 53 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 176 studies reached it within 76 months; a quarter within 44 and three quarters within 123.
How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.
