The long-term efficacy of combination of chemotherapy with dasatinib in patients with Philadelphia-chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is not well-established. Patients received dasatinib with 8 cycles of alternating hyperCVAD and high dose cytarabine and methotrexate. Patients in complete remission (CR) continued maintenance dasatinib, vincristine and prednisone for 2 years followed by dasatinib indefinitely. Patients eligible for allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) received it in first CR. 72 patients with a median age of 55 years (range 21 – 80) were treated; 69 (96%) achieved CR. Among them, 57 (83%) achieved cytogenetic (CG) CR after 1 cycle and 64 (93%) achieved a major molecular response (MMR) at a median of 4 weeks (range, 2 – 38 weeks). Minimal residual disease by flow cytometry was negative in 65 (94 %) patients at a median of 3 weeks (range, 2–37). Dasatinib-related grade 3 and 4 adverse events included bleeding, pleural/pericardial effusions, and elevated transaminases. With a median follow-up of 67 months (range, 33–97), 33 patients (46%) are alive and 30 (43%) are in CR; 12 underwent an allogeneic SCT. Thirty nine patients have died (3 at induction, 19 after relapse, 7 post SCT performed in CR1, and 10 in CR). The median disease free and overall survival are 31 months (range, 0.3 to 97) and 47 months (range, 0.2 to 97). Seven relapsed patients had ABL mutations including 4 T315I. Combination of chemotherapy with dasatinib is effective in achieving long-term remissions in patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL.
