This is a multi-center, phase 2, single arm unblinded trial of oral Ponatinib in patients with Ph+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Patients will receive daily oral administration of Ponatinib at a dose of 45 mg/day for 6 weeks (defined as one course) for 8 courses, same dose and schedule, for a total of 48 weeks. Each patient will be followed for the subsequent 24 months, every 3 month, providing survival information and monitoring serious adverse event. Each patient should be treated for a minimum of 6 weeks. Then a patient can be discontinued in the following situation: at the end of first course (6 weeks), in case of lack of CHR; at the end of third course (18 weeks), in case of lack of CCgR; any time in case of loss of CHR or CCgR. If they remain on therapy after 48 weeks, they will be able to continue treatment during the extension phase of the study, if it is of interest of the patient, or they will be allowed to receive any treatment that is in their interest. For all the patients remaining on trial, response, outcome and toxicity will be followed for the subsequent 24 months.The 6-weeks periodicity must be rigidly respected, irrespective of the temporary discontinuation of study drug (eg, if a patient will take Ponatinib only for 4 weeks and will remain off-treatment for the subsequent two weeks because of AE, when the 7th week begins this patient will restart Ponatinib as a second course, as per protocol). Prednisone (P) will be administered to all patients for 7-14 days, before Ponatinib, so as to make it possible to wait for the results of cytogenetic and molecular tests, and to evaluate the response to P alone, hence for another 21 days. Intrathecal therapy (IT) with MTX/AraC/DEX is mandatory, every 28 days, in patients without clinical-cytologic evidence of meningeal involvement. In patients with CNS disease, IT is performed twice weekly until a complete clearance of cerebrospinal fluid blast cells is achieved, hence once weekly for 4 weeks, hence once monthly.
