What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) includes Ph-positive (Phpos) ALL, Ph-negative (Phneg) B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL and T-ALL/lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL), accounting for approximately 25, 50 and 25% of all cases, respectively. In younger adults, the results associated with standard therapy have markedly improved in these 3 groups, due to chemotherapy intensification in the BCP and T groups and addition of TKIs in the Phpos group, respectively. This led to reevaluate the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in first remission, which is generally now indicated only in higher-risk patients, mostly defined as those with persistent high levels of minimal residual disease (MRD). Nevertheless, event-free survival (EFS) remains at 60-70% at 3 years, meaning there is still room for further improvements.
Fortunately, new immunotherapies have been approved to tre

10. Eligible for National Health Insurance (for French patients)
Exclusion Criteria:
Common exclusion criteria :
1. Patient previously treated with systemic chemotherapy, antibody-based therapy or TKI
2. Patients with a history of another primary malignancy that is currently clinically significant or currently requires active intervention
3. History or presence of clinically relevant CNS pathology such as epilepsy, childhood or adult seizure, paresis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injuries, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, coordination/movement disorder, autoimmune disease with CNS involvement, psychosis (with the exception of CNS leukemia that is well controlled with intrathecal therapy)
4. Patients with LVEF\<50% or other clinically significant heart disease (e.g. unstable angina, congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension)
5. Prior documented chronic liver disease. Inadequate hepatic functions defined as AST or ALT \> 5 x the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), or \> 5 x ULN unless if considered due to leukemia. Total bilirubin \> 1.5 x ULN unless if considered due to leukemia or Gilbert/Meulengracht
6. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 50 mL/mn using the MDRD equation
7. Chronic pancreatitis or acute pancreatitis within 6 months before study start
8. Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (HIV testing is not mandatory) or active infection with Hepatitis B or C.
9. Concurrent severe diseases which exclude the administration of therapy
10. Treatment with any other investigational agent or participating in another trial within 30 days prior to entering this study
11. Pregnancy and breast feeding
12. Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol
13. Patients under a legal protection regime (guardianship, trusteeship, judicial safeguard)
14. Chronic or current active uncontrolled infectious disease requiring systemic antibiotics, antifungal, or antiviral treatment
15. Current use of prohibited medication
16. Known hypersensitivity or severe reaction to ponatinib (GRAAPH), blinatumomab (GRAAPH and GRAALL-B) , isatuximab (GRAALL-T) or their excipients.
17. Receipt of live (including attenuated) vaccines or anticipation of need for such vaccines during the study
If patients with Phpos ALL:
1. Complete left bundle branch block, right bundle branch block plus left anterior hemiblock, bi-fascicular block
2. History of or presence of clinically significant ventricular or atrial tachyarrhythmias
3. Clinically significant resting bradycardia (\< 50 beats per minute)
4. Congenital long QT syndrome or QTcF \> 470 msec on screening ECG. If QTc \> 470 msec and electrolytes are not within normal ranges before ponatinib dosing, electrolytes should be corrected and then the patient rescreened for QTcF criterion
5. Currently taking drug(s) that are known to have a risk of causing prolonged QTc or TdP unless the drug(s) can be changed to acceptable alternatives (ie, an alternate class of agents that do not affect the cardiac conduction system), or the participant can safely discontinue the drug(s)
6. Previous myocardial infarction within the last 12 months
7. Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease
8. History of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) within the last 12 months
9. Significant bleeding disorder or thrombophilia unrelated to the underlying malignancy indication for study participation
