Ruxolitinib in Combination with Standard Chemotherapy in Treating Adolescents and Young Adults with Ph-Like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of ruxolitinib in combination with standard chemotherapy in treating adolescents and young adults with Philadelphia (Ph)-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Ruxolitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ruxolitinib and chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with h-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
