Primary Investigator

Overview

The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of ruxolitinib to use with standard chemotherapy in children, adolescents, and young adults with HR B-ALL; and to find out if the investigational drug ruxolitinib helps chemotherapy to work better and to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of using ruxolitinib with chemotherapy.
