Relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia remains a challenge in the context of limited access to immunotherapy in developing countries. With such poor 5-year overall survival rates of 10%, the investigators need strategies that surpass the complete response rate achieved in this setting, which does not exceed 60% effectiveness with different regimens, and to eventually transfer patients to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this context, the investigators are studyng if the use of venetoclax, a BCL2 inhibitor, with the use of a cytochrome p450 inhibitor such as itraconazole, alongside the TACL chemotherapy regimen, which is based on the combination of asparaginase, dexamethasone, bortezomib, vincristine, and mitoxantrone.
