A Phase III Randomized Trial Investigating Bortezomib (NSC# 681239) on a Modified Augmented BFM (ABFM) Backbone in Newly Diagnosed T- Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) and T- Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (T-LLy)
Investigating Chemotherapy with or without investigational medication for T-Cell Leukemia and Lymphoma
Brief description of study.
This randomized phase III clinical trial compares how well combination chemotherapy works when given with or without bortezomib in treating patients with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or stage II-IV T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.

This study investigates the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without an investigational medication in patients with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or stage II-IV T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LLy). T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, while T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma is a similar type of cancer that affects the lymph nodes.
Participants in the study will receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy combined with an investigational medication. Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
- Who can participate: Eligible individuals must be newly diagnosed with T-ALL or T-LLy stages II-IV, enrolled in Project: Every Child, and meet age criteria. Exclusions include prior cytotoxic chemotherapy, uncontrolled seizure disorder, and Down syndrome.
- Study details: Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either chemotherapy alone or with an investigational medication. No placebo will be used in this study.
