LEU ALL precursor B-cell BCR-ABL1+ - HyperCVAD with RITUximab and daSATinib Part A and B followed by Maintenance [60 years and under]
Treatment Overview
HyperCVAD with RITUximab and daSATinib Part A and B followed by Maintenance [60 years and under] is intended for those 60 years and under, BCR-ABL1 positive and have CD20 expression greater than 10%.
Treatment overview
HyperCVAD Part A and B is given as alternating cycles of Part A and B as follows: 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B; every 21 days, or sooner if counts have recovered.
This is followed, in non-transplant patients, by Maintenance for 2 years, daSATinib is taken indefinitely.
General schema:
Intrathecal therapy is dependent on patients CNS risk, see Overview of Intrathecal CNS Prophylaxis in Additional details.
- Use the appropriate HyperCVAD Part A and B regimen below for the patient's CNS disease risk.
- If CNS is positive for disease, administer intrathecal chemotherapy as per institutional practice twice a week until the CNS is cleared, then continue with intrathecal therapy for High Risk.
daSATinib is taken continuously, the dose included in regimen may tailored to individual patient response and tolerability.
Alternates with a cycle of Part B every 21 days, or sooner if counts have recovered.
Use the Part A regimen specific for CNS risk of the patient.
Intrathecal therapy in this Part A regimen is intended for patients with Unknown Risk [default].
Alternates with a cycle of Part B every 21 days, or sooner if counts have recovered.
Use the Part A regimen specific for CNS risk of the patient.
Intrathecal therapy in this Part A regimen is intended for patients with High Risk.
Alternates with a cycle of Part A every 21 days, or sooner if counts have recovered.
Use the Part B regimen specific for CNS risk of the patient.
Intrathecal therapy in this Part B regimen is intended for patients with Unknown Risk [default].
Alternates with a cycle of Part A every 21 days, or sooner if counts have recovered.
Use the Part B regimen specific for CNS risk of the patient.

Gastroprotection:
- Gastroprotective agents are only intended for short term use while patient is receiving corticosteroid treatment doses.
- Gastroprotective agents such as proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists are not recommended to be used with daSATinib because they may reduce exposure to daSATinib by increasing gastric pH. Do not use proton pump inhibitors with high dose metHOTREXATe. Consider using an antacid as an alternative.
