Eligibility
Recruits 27 paediatric patients.
- Vulnerable Population
- The trial explicitly includes paediatric, adolescent and young adult participants (≥1 year to ≤30 years) and is marked as involving a vulnerable population. Informed consent/assent approach uses age‑appropriate documentation: Parent/legal guardian consent forms for minors, child and pre-adolescent assent forms, adolescent assent and 'adolescent becoming adult' forms, and main ICF for adults. Separate data protection consent and pregnancy follow-up forms are provided. Country-specific ICFs/assent forms are provided in multiple languages as submitted (e.g. Czech, Danish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, English).
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"-Male or female participants ≥1 year to ≤30 years of age at screening"}
- {"criterion_text":"-Participants with documented history of either Ph+ ALL or ABL-class Ph-like ALL with ABL1 or ABL2 rearrangements. Genetic testing will be performed locally and eligible alterations confirmed by treating investigators; central confirmation will not be performed as part of the study. (Of note, participants with T315I mutations are eligible for inclusion in Part 1 and Part 2)."}
- {"criterion_text":"-Active B-Cell ALL at screening defined by MFC or IG/TCR PCR of ALL blasts >0.01% in participants with either: a. Primary refractory disease (>0.01% ALL blasts present at the end of consolidation) OR b.

- {"criterion_text":"-Participants with CNS1, CNS2, CNS3a or CNS3b at screening."}
- {"criterion_text":"-Documented history of CD19 expressing B-cell ALL (in peripheral blood or bone marrow by flow cytometry) a.\tFor participants who received anti-CD19 targeted therapy (e.g CD19 CAR T cells or blinatumomab), CD19 expressing B-cell ALL must be documented after anti-CD19 therapy completion prior to cycle 1 day 1."}
Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"-Participants with >3 relapses of ALL at screening."}
- {"criterion_text":"-Extramedullary disease (non-CNS and/ or isolated CNS disease) at screening"}
