Brief summary:
This study is about an anticancer drug called ponatinib which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor given with chemotherapy to children, teenagers, and young adults up to 21 years of age with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia who have relapsed or are resistant to other treatment.

The main aims of this study are to confirm the highest dose of ponatinib tablets and minitablet capsules that can be given to participants with acceptable side effects, and to evaluate if participant's leukemia achieves remission.

Participants will take ponatinib tablets with chemotherapy. For participants who cannot swallow tablets or who are receiving less than a 10 milligrams (mg) dose, a capsule with small ponatinib minitablets inside will be provided. Participants will take ponatinib for 10 weeks in combination with chemotherapy (reinduction and consolidation blocks) and will be followed up for at least 3 years.

Detailed description:
The drug being tested in this study is called ponatinib. Ponatinib is being tested to treat pediatric population who have Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Ph+ mixed phenotype acute leukemia (Ph+ MPAL), or Philadelphia chromosome-like ALL who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to a prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-containing therapy, or who have the T315I mutation.

The study will enroll approximately 68 participants. Participants will be assigned to a treatment group either in phase 1 or phase 2. Participants unable to swallow the ponatinib tablets or who are receiving less than a 10 mg dose will receive the age-appropriate formulation, capsule with ponatinib minitablets inside:

• Ponatinib + Chemotherapy

All participants will be asked to take ponatinib once daily. In phase 1 ponatinib will be administered in combination with a chemotherapy backbone to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ponatinib. In both phase 1 and phase 2, treatment consists of two 35-day blocks of therapy (reinduction block and consolidation block). Each block will include 29 days of treatment of daily ponatinib and a chemotherapy backbone regimen followed by a rest period from chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 days consisting of daily ponatinib only.

This is a multi-center trial and will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 6.5 years. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and may be contacted by telephone in at least 36 months of follow-up after treatment.

Arms:
arm 1: Ponatinib tablets, based on weight, in combination with chemotherapy backbone, orally, once daily in both reinduction block and consolidation block (35 days each including 29 days of treatment followed by rest period from chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 days consisting of daily ponatinib only) in Phase 1 to determine RP2D. In Phase 2 participants will receive ponatinib at RP2D in combination with chemotherapy backbone.

Interventions: intervention 1: Ponatinib intervention 2: Chemotherapy Agents
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Ponatinib tablets. intervention 2: Chemotherapy agents for reinduction include vincristine, dexamethasone, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-asparaginase (Erwinia asparaginase when PEG-asparaginase is not available), daunorubicin. Agents for intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy, central nervous system (CNS)-1/2: IT methotrexate chemotherapy, or CNS-3: triple intrathecal (ITT) methotrexate, hydrocortisone, cytarabine. Chemotherapy agents for consolidation include dexamethasone, vincristine, methotrexate, PEG-asparaginase (Erwinia asparaginase when PEG-asparaginase is not available), cyclophosphamide, etoposide, CNS-1/2: IT methotrexate chemotherapy, CNS-3: ITT chemotherapy methotrexate, hydrocortisone, cytarabine. The doses for chemotherapy agents for reinduction will be given as per standard of care.

Protocol Amendment 4 Summary of Changes 
Protocol Amendment 4 Summary and Rationale: 
This section describes the changes to the protocol incorporating Amendment 4. The primary 
reasons for this amendment are to incorporate Health Authority requests. 
The protocol was updated to: 
• Modify phase 1 cohort 2 to enroll a single cohort for determination of recommended phase 2 
dose (RP2D) rather than 2 weight groups with separate evaluations. 
• Modify the definition of related adverse events for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) criteria to: 
– Clarify the definition of “related’ causality assessment. 
– Modify the requirement for DLT criteria. 
– Modify the definition of “DLT-evaluable” patient. 
• Modify dose modifications for ponatinib with the occurrence of lipase elevations and 
pancreatitis. 
• Modify the criteria for beginning a consolidation block or optional continuation therapy. 
In this amendment, minor grammatical, editorial, formatting (including bibliographic references 
format), and administrative changes not affecting the conduct of the study are included for 
clarification and administrative purposes only and may not be listed in the summary of changes

STUDY SUMMARY 
Name of Sponsor: Takeda Development Center Americas, Inc. 
Compound:  
Ponatinib 
Title of Protocol: A Pivotal Phase 1/2, Single-Arm, Open-label Study to 
Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ponatinib With Chemotherapy in Pediatric 
Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphoblastic 
Leukemia (ALL) Who Have Relapsed or Are Resistant or Intolerant to a Prior 
Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-Containing Therapy, or Who Have the T315I Mutation 
EudraCT No.: 
2019-002549-39 
Study Number: Ponatinib-1501 
Phase: 1/2  
Study Design: 
This is a pivotal phase 1/2, single-arm, open-label, multicenter, study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, 
pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of ponatinib when administered in combination with multiagent 
chemotherapy in pediatric patients (aged ≥1 year to ≤21 years) with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) 
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Ph+ mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or Philadelphia 
chromosome–like (Ph-like) ALL with targetable kinase-activating lesions and either (i) or (ii) as follows: (i) For 
non-US sites: Patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least 1 prior therapy that contained a 
breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-Abelson (ABL) 1–targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), or for US sites: 
Patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least 1 prior therapy that contained a second-
generation BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI; or (ii) have a BCR-ABL1 T315I mutation. 
Patients will undergo screening assessments for up to 10 days to determine eligibility (Figure 2.a). In both 
phase 1 and phase 2, eligible patients will receive two 35-day blocks of therapy (reinduction block and 
consolidation block). Each block will include 29 days of study treatment consisting of daily ponatinib and a 
modified United Kingdom (UK) ALL R3 chemotherapy backbone regimen specified in Table 8.b and a rest 
period from chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 days consisting of daily ponatinib only. Disease assessment will 
occur at the end of each block. Patients will undergo an end of treatment (EOT) visit (EOT1) 25-30 days after the 
last dose of study treatment in the consolidation block, or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy 
or optional ponatinib continuation therapy (Appendix A, Table 1). 
Patients completing the EOT1 visit can proceed to alternate therapies not containing ponatinib as off-protocol 
therapy. Alternatively, eligible patients may receive optional ponatinib continuation therapy (either ponatinib 
monotherapy or ponatinib in combination with maintenance-type chemotherapy regimen at the investigator’s 
discretion and with sponsor agreement) after completing the 2 blocks of study treatment and the EOT1 visit. 
Patients who receive optional ponatinib continuation therapy will be followed per the schedule of events (SOE) 
and proceed to a second EOT visit (EOT2) 30 to 40 days after the last dose of ponatinib, or earlier, if the patient 
is proceeding to alternate therapy (Appendix A, Table 2). Patients who discontinue ponatinib early in the 
reinduction block or consolidation block will be discontinued from study treatment and proceed to the EOT1 
visit. All patients will be followed for at least 3 years from EOT1, with primary analysis performed 
approximately 6 months after the last patient has been enrolled. 
Phase 1 of the study (approximately 12 dose-limiting toxicities [DLT]-evaluable patients) is a PK/safety lead-in 
phase for dose confirmation to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ponatinib administered either 
as the tablet formulation or the age-appropriate formulation (AAF: mini-tablet–containing capsules, ie minitab 
capsules) (Table 2.a) in combination with the chemotherapy backbone (Table 8.b). 
The initial ponatinib doses evaluated in cohort 1 of the phase 1 portion of the study were selected to target 
systemic exposures comparable to those achieved in adults receiving 30 mg once daily (QD) based on the results 
of population PK modeling and simulation (see Section 4.2.4.1). The ponatinib doses evaluated in cohort 2 of the 
phase 1 portion of the study are expected to provide systemic exposures comparable to those achieved in adults 
receiving 15 mg QD based on the results of population PK modeling and simulation (see Section 4.2.4.2). 
A staggered enrollment is being applied. Phase 1 cohort 1 was initiated with the tablet formulation in patients 
able to swallow solid oral dosage forms and weighing at least 30 kg (as the AAF was not available during that

enrollment period). As of protocol amendment 3, both the tablet formulation and AAF are available for use in 
phase 1. 
The PK, safety, and tolerability data from phase 1 will inform selection of the recommended dose of ponatinib 
for confirmatory evaluation of safety and efficacy in the phase 2 portion of the study. A rolling 6 design will be 
followed for all phase 1 cohorts. 
As of phase 1 cohort 2, patients will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether the patient meets the 
criteria to be DLT-evaluable. DLT-evaluable patients must have received ponatinib doses on at least 70% of the 
reinduction block days (eg, 25 or more of the 35 days) per protocol or experienced a confirmed DLT. 
Ponatinib doses for evaluation in phase 1 cohort 2 will target exposures comparable to those achieved in adults 
receiving 15 mg QD based on the results of population PK modeling and simulation (see Section 4.2.4.3). For 
phase 1 cohort 2, approximately 6 DLT-evaluable patients with a body weight of at least 5 kg will be enrolled, 
with a minimum of 2 patients with a baseline body weight <30 kg. No more than 1 DLT-evaluable patient may 
be >16 years of age in cohort 2. 
To determine the RP2D, a minimum of 6 DLT-evaluable patients in cohort 2 must complete the reinduction 
block. If 2 out of 6 patients experience a DLT, the study will be paused to determine further tolerability of this 
combination. All patients enrolled in cohort 2 under protocol amendment 3 and those enrolled under protocol 
amendment 4 will be assessed together in a single cohort for determination of DLTs and RP2D as defined in 
protocol amendment 4. 
Upon review of patients in cohort 2, if dose level 1 is determined not to be tolerated or fails to achieve the 
desired target systemic exposures and RP2D is not confirmed with cohort 2, then no further cohorts are planned 
to be tested. 
The RP2D of ponatinib will be determined after evaluating the available safety and PK data from the first 
6 patients enrolled in phase 1 cohort 2. Up to an additional 6 patients may be enrolled to further characterize the 
safety, PK, and preliminary efficacy of the RP2D of ponatinib before the start of phase 2. 
In phase 2, patients will receive daily ponatinib at the RP2D determined from the phase 1 portion of the study, in 
combination with the same chemotherapy backbone regimen (Table 8.b). Phase 2 will evaluate the efficacy and 
safety of ponatinib at the RP2D in combination with chemotherapy in the study population and include patients 
from phase 1 who completed the reinduction block at the RP2D in combination with chemotherapy.

Study Design Schema 
 
AAF: age-appropriate formulation; EOT1: end of treatment 1; EOT2: end of treatment 2; RP2D: recommended 
phase 2 dose. 
“equivalent” refers to adult equivalent/target dose. 
a Each block consists of 29 days of study treatment with ponatinib and chemotherapy followed by a 
chemotherapy rest period of a minimum of 6 days consisting of daily ponatinib only. Ponatinib should not be 
interrupted unless the patient has toxicity suspected to be related to ponatinib. 
b Patients will undergo evaluation for disease status at the end of the reinduction block and the consolidation 
block. Patients tolerating treatment at the end of the reinduction block will proceed to the consolidation block 
regardless of their remission status. 
c Patients will have their first EOT visit (EOT1) 25 to 30 days after last dose of ponatinib in the consolidation 
block, or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy or optional ponatinib continuation therapy. 
d Patients who receive optional continuation therapy containing ponatinib will have an additional EOT visit 
(EOT2) 30 to 40 days after last dose of ponatinib, or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy. See 
Table 8.d for optional ponatinib continuation therapy regimen. Patients who are receiving clinical benefit from 
ponatinib treatment may continue therapy for a maximum of 12 months. If patients continue deriving clinical 
benefit after 12 months of optional continuation therapy, they may remain on ponatinib treatment if the 
investigator provides the evidence of clinical benefits and confirms with the sponsor.

Patient Population:  
Patients (aged ≥1 year to ≤21 years and weighing at least 5 kg) with Ph+ ALL, Ph+ MPAL, or Ph-like ALL with 
targetable kinase-activating lesions must have bone marrow (BM) involvement and either (i) or (ii) as follows:  
(i) 
For non-US sites: Patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least 1 prior 
therapy that contained a BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI; OR 
For US sites: Patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least 1 prior therapy that 
contained a second-generation BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI; OR 
(ii) 
Have a BCR-ABL1 T315I mutation. Referring institutions laboratory results will be accepted for 
enrollment; however, the mutation needs to be confirmed by the central laboratory. If the 
mutational status is not concordant, the patient will be withdrawn from the study and excluded from 
analyses. 
Number of Patients: 
Phase 1 of the study will enroll approximately 12 DLT-evaluable patients; 
phase 2 of the study will enroll approximately 68 patients, including DLT-
evaluable patients enrolled to phase 1 who completed the reinduction block and 
dosed at the RP2D. 
Number of Sites: 
Approximately 74 study 
sites in approximately 
17 countries. 
Dose Level(s): 
In phase 1 cohort 1, only patients with a body weight of ≥30 kg and able to 
swallow solid oral dosage forms were enrolled because the AAF was not 
available. As of protocol amendment 3, patients weighing at least 5 kg or who are 
unable to swallow solid oral dosage forms are eligible for enrollment as the AAF 
is available. 
Ponatinib will be administered QD in combination with the chemotherapy 
backbone (Table 8.b). In phase 1 cohort 1, pediatric patients received fixed doses 
of ponatinib based on body weight ranges that were expected to achieve systemic 
exposures that approximately matched adult exposures at 30 mg QD based on 
simulations from an allometrically scaled adult population PK model. Patients 
who experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) that required dose 
reductions had their ponatinib dose reduced to dose level -1. 
For phase 1 cohort 2, patients will also receive fixed doses of ponatinib based on 
body weight ranges provided in Table 2.a that are expected to achieve systemic 
exposures that approximately match adult exposures after administration of 
15 mg QD based on simulations from an allometrically scaled adult population 
PK model. Patients experiencing TEAEs will have their ponatinib doses reduced 
as per Table 2.a. The PK, safety, and tolerability of ponatinib at cohort 2 dose 
level 1 will be reviewed to inform selection of the RP2D. If the initially selected 
doses are not adequately tolerated or fail to achieve the target systemic exposures, 
then the study will close.

review of available data from the phase 1 portion of the study. 
 
Duration of Treatment: 
All patients enrolled will receive two 35-day blocks of study treatment (ponatinib 
in combination with chemotherapy). 
At the discretion of the treating physician and with sponsor agreement, optional 
ponatinib continuation therapy may be used beyond the end of the consolidation 
block as monotherapy or in combination with maintenance-type chemotherapy 
until more definitive therapy is initiated. 
Period of Evaluation:

Phase 2 Secondary Endpoints 
• 
Ph+ ALL only: Proportion of patients who achieved CR at the end of consolidation. 
• 
Ph+ ALL only: Proportion of patients with MRD-negative status (<0.01%) among those who achieved CR 
at the end of each treatment block. 
• 
Proportion of patients who relapsed or progressed. 
• 
EFS, PFS, and OS at 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, 2 years, and 3 years. 
• 
Duration of response (for CR). 
• 
Proportion of patients who underwent HSCT following study treatment. 
Phase 1 PK Endpoint 
• 
Summary statistics of ponatinib PK parameters including maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), 
time of first occurrence of Cmax (tmax), and area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time 0 to 
the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast). 
Phase 1 and Phase 2 Safety Endpoint 
• 
Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), arterial occlusive events (AOEs), venous 
thrombotic/embolic events (VTEs), and any other AEs of special interest (AESIs). 
Exploratory Endpoints 
• 
Change from baseline in laboratory values and cardiovascular outcomes associated with elevated cardiac 
troponin and NT-proBNP. 
• 
Ph+ ALL only: Biomarkers of potential sensitivity and resistance to ponatinib-containing therapy, which 
may include molecular mutations (eg, BCR-ABL1, IKZF1, CDKN2A/2B) in samples both prior and 
following ponatinib treatment.

Statistical Considerations: 
Approximately 68 patients aged ≥1 to ≤21 years with Ph+ ALL with targetable kinase activating lesions (no 
minimum number) who either (i) (non-US sites) have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least 1 prior 
therapy that contained a BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI or (US sites) have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at 
least 1 prior therapy that contained a second-generation BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI, or (ii) have the T315I 
mutation, will be enrolled in the study. Ph+ MPAL and Ph-like ALL are rare, and few patients with Ph+ MPAL 
or Ph-like ALL are expected to enroll in this study. Data from these patients will not be included in the response-
evaluable population analysis and will be analyzed as a separate subset. 
Patients with Ph-like ALL and Ph+ MPAL will not be included in efficacy analyses. These patients will be 
included in the safety and other descriptive analyses. 
The phase 1 portion of the study will enroll approximately 12 DLT-evaluable patients, and a rolling 6 design will 
be followed to determine the RP2D. Once the pediatric RP2D has been confirmed, approximately 68 patients 
with Ph+ ALL will be enrolled in the phase 2 portion of the study (any patient dosed at the RP2D and completed 
the reinduction block during phase 1 will be counted towards the 68 evaluable patients for phase 2). 
The primary data analysis will be conducted 6 months after the last patient is enrolled in the phase 2 portion of 
the study, where the major efficacy summary will focus on: 
• 
CR at the end of reinduction block and duration of CR.  
• 
Time-to-event analysis (EFS, PFS, and OS) at 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, 2 years, and 3 years. 
• 
Proportion of patients who underwent HSCT. 
In addition, the safety analysis will cover short-term AE, SAE, and AESI rates, and changes in laboratory values

from baseline. 
Sample Size Determination: 
The Wilson Score confidence interval (CI) approach will be used for the sample size determination. The Wilson 
Score interval is an improvement over the normal approximation interval in that the actual coverage probability 
is closer to the nominal value. Based on the Wilson Score CI approach and assuming N = 68 patients to reject the 
null hypothesis of a 67% CR rate (see Section 13.3 for justification of control rate assumption), a 2-sided type I 
error of 0.1, and that under the alternative hypothesis the ponatinib CR rate is 80% based on simulations with 
1,000,000 iterations, the power of the trial equals 81.5%. This simulation also demonstrated that under the null 
hypothesis, the type I error is controlled at a nominal level of 0.1 (2-sided).

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 
4.1 
Background 
4.1.1 
Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Pediatric 
Patients 
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children, and is the most 
common form of childhood leukemia, representing 75% to 80% of leukemias among children 
(Brown et al. 2020). The age-adjusted incidence of ALL in the United States (US) is 1.38 per 
100,000 individuals per year (Brown et al. 2020) with approximately 5930 new cases and 
1500 deaths estimated in 2019 (Brown et al. 2020). The median age at diagnosis is 15 years with 
55.4% of new diagnoses occurring in patients younger than 20 years of age (Brown et al. 2020). 
Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) ALL is a rare malignancy of the blood and bone 
marrow (BM), accounting for approximately 3% to 5% of pediatric ALL (Arico et al. 2010; 
Schlieben et al. 1996). 
Ph+ ALL results from a translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22, referred to as the Philadelphia 
chromosome, and leading to the fusion of the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) coding sequence 
with the tyrosine kinase coding region of Abelson (ABL) 1. The consequence is expression of a 
BCR-ABL1 fusion oncoprotein with constitutive activation of ABL1 tyrosine kinase activity, 
which in turn activates cell signaling pathways promoting cell proliferation and survival. The 
constitutive ABL1 kinase activity is both necessary and sufficient for induction of both Ph+ ALL 
and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) (Deininger et al. 2000). 
4.1.2 
Ponatinib Design and Mechanism of Action 
Ponatinib (Iclusig) is the product of a computational and structure-based approach to the design 
of a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (O'Hare et al. 2009). Ponatinib was designed 
to optimally inhibit native BCR-ABL1 and mutant forms of the protein that cause resistance to 
other TKIs, including the T315I gatekeeper mutation that confers resistance to other approved 
BCR-ABL1 inhibitors other than ponatinib, ie, imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, and bosutinib. 
A critical feature of ponatinib’s design is the incorporation of multiple contact points with the 
ABL1 kinase domain, which balances and distributes overall binding affinity (Zhou et al. 2011). 
This not only leads to high affinity binding to ABL1, but also renders binding less susceptible to 
disruption by any single amino acid mutation. A second critical structural feature is a carbon-
carbon triple bond linkage that allows ponatinib to make a productive hydrophobic contact with 
the bulky isoleucine residue present in the T315I mutation rather than being sterically hindered 
by it. 
Through direct inhibition of native BCR-ABL1 and its variants, ponatinib inhibits aberrant 
downstream signaling by reducing phosphorylated Crk-like protein (pCRKL), thereby promoting 
apoptosis and cell death in BCR-ABL1–positive cells (O'Hare et al. 2009). Ponatinib has also 
been shown to potently inhibit the activity of other activated tyrosine kinases, including ABL2 
(also known as ARG), CSF1R (also known as FMS), and PDGFRB (Gozgit et al. 2013).

4.1.3 
Ponatinib Nonclinical Data 
Nonclinical studies have demonstrated that ponatinib potently inhibits native BCR-ABL1, and all 
single-mutation variants, at clinically relevant concentrations (Gozgit et al. 2013; O'Hare et al. 
2009). In a cell line expressing native BCR-ABL1, ponatinib inhibited viability with a 
half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) <1 nM, which is more than 200-fold lower than that 
of imatinib. Ponatinib also potently inhibited viability (with IC50s <40 nM) of cell lines 
expressing 14 major clinically observed imatinib-resistant BCR-ABL1 mutations, including 
T315I. Ponatinib exhibited potent in vivo activity in 2 mouse tumor models expressing the 
T315I mutation of BCR-ABL1. Using an in vitro mutagenesis screen approach that has 
successfully predicted mutations that confer clinical resistance to imatinib and nilotinib and 
dasatinib (Bradeen et al. 2006), a concentration between 20 nM and 40 nM of ponatinib was 
found to suppress the emergence of any resistant BCR-ABL1 mutation (O'Hare et al. 2009). 
While nonclinical studies have shown that no single BCR-ABL1 mutation can cause resistance 
to ponatinib, it has been shown that certain compound mutations (2 mutations in the same 
BCR-ABL1 protein) can confer resistance (O'Hare et al. 2009; Zabriskie et al. 2014). For 
example, the presence of a T315I mutation on the same allele with Y253H or E255K can confer 
nonclinical resistance to ponatinib, though ponatinib is able to inhibit each of those mutants 
individually. Development of compound mutations is a risk associated with sequential use of 
BCR-ABL1 TKIs (Shah et al. 2007), whereby expansion of a leukemic progenitor cell that has a 
single resistance mutation provides a template on which a second mutation can develop. 
Nonclinical safety assessment studies were performed on ponatinib, including 6-month oral 
toxicity studies in rats and cynomolgus monkeys. In a 6-month oral toxicity study, the 
no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) in the rat was 0.25 mg/kg/day. At 0.75 and 
2.0 mg/kg/day, there was early mortality and moribundity, reduced body weight, and reduced 
food consumption with lymphoid depletion at 2.0 mg/kg/day. The early deaths occurred as early 
as Day 21, and cause of death or moribundity was generally not determined; however, 
moribundity was considered to be related to urinary tract or skin inflammation in 3 animals. 
Additionally, at 0.75 and 2.0 mg/kg/day there was a reduction in femoral physeal chondrocytes 
(sometimes with reduced trabecular bone); the physeal lesion was still present after a 2-month 
recovery period. Administration of ponatinib to cynomolgus monkeys for 6 months at oral dose 
levels of 0.25, 0.75, or 2 mg/kg/day was well tolerated, with no ponatinib-related microscopic 
findings being observed at any dose level. However, there were irreversible increases in alanine 
aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) at all doses; therefore, the NOAEL 
was determined to be ≤0.25 mg/kg/day. Taken together, the rat and monkey toxicology studies 
indicate the following key target organs of ponatinib toxicity: gastrointestinal tract, skin, thyroid 
gland, kidney, bone, thymus, pancreas, liver, lung, testes, and ovaries. 
A juvenile toxicity study was conducted in rats to assess relative sensitivity of immature versus 
mature animals to the effects of ponatinib, both before and after weaning, followed by a 4-week 
recovery period. Daily oral administration of ponatinib at 3 mg/kg/day to juvenile rats, beginning 
Day 15 postpartum, resulted in mortality related to inflammatory effects in several organs within 
6 to 7 days of treatment initiation. Administration of 0.75 or 1.5 mg/kg/day ponatinib from

Days 15 to 35 postpartum caused adverse reductions in body weight gain during preweaning and 
early postweaning treatment phases. These reductions were recovered during posttreatment 
Days 35 to 63 postpartum. Importantly, despite clear evidence of overt toxicity and adverse 
effects on body weight gain in juvenile rats, no other adverse effects of ponatinib on juvenile rat 
developmental parameters (vaginal opening, preputial separation, or bone measurements) were 
observed, and there were no microscopic changes in bone. Based on the occurrence of adverse 
body weight changes at tolerated dose levels, the NOAEL of ponatinib in juvenile rats was not 
identified. However, the NOAEL for ponatinib on key developmental endpoints was 
1.5 mg/kg/day. In conclusion, the toxicity profile in juvenile rats was comparable to that 
determined in general toxicity studies in adult rats. 
The ages of animals at the beginning of the juvenile study (Day 15 postpartum) were considered 
equivalent to a human infant, and by the end of the study (Day 35 postpartum) were considered 
equivalent to a child; the ages of rats at the initiation of the 6-month study were 7 to 10 weeks 
postpartum and were equivalent to a human adolescent (Baldrick 2010). Thus, these nonclinical 
studies cover the pediatric population. 
Additional details are provided in the investigator’s brochure in the section describing 
nonclinical studies. 
4.1.4 
Clinical Studies 
The phase 2 PACE study (Study AP24534-10-201) is the pivotal study upon which full 
marketing approval was granted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the 
European Union (EU) European Medicines Agency (EMA). In the US, the indications described 
in the current Iclusig label are the following: (1) treatment of adult patients with chronic phase 
(CP), accelerated phase (AP), or blast phase (BP) CML or Ph+ ALL for whom no other TKI 
therapy is indicated and (2) treatment of adult patients with T315I-positive CML (CP, AP, or 
BP) or T315I-positive Ph+ ALL (Iclusig (ponatinib) Tablets for Oral Use 2022). In the EU, 
ponatinib is indicated in adults patients with (1) CP, AP, or BP-CML who are resistant to 
dasatinib or nilotinib; who are intolerant to dasatinib or nilotinib and for whom subsequent 
treatment with imatinib is not clinically appropriate; or who have the T315I mutation or (2) Ph+ 
ALL who are resistant to dasatinib; who are intolerant to dasatinib and for whom subsequent 
treatment with imatinib is not clinically appropriate; or who have the T315I mutation (Iclusig 
(ponatinib) 15 and 30 and 45 mg Film-Coated Tablets 2022). 
The PACE study enrolled 449 CML (CP, AP, or BP) or Ph+ ALL patients resistant or intolerant 
to dasatinib or nilotinib, or with BCR-ABL1 T315I mutation (32 Ph+ ALL patients were 
included in this study) (Cortes et al. 2013). All patients had previously been treated with at least 
1 approved BCR-ABL1 inhibitor, with the majority having been treated with 3 or more. A 
starting dose of ponatinib 45 mg was used, which was the recommended dose established in the 
phase 1 study (Study AP24534-07-101) (Cortes et al. 2012). 
Patients were assigned to 1 of 6 cohorts in accordance with disease group, prior therapy, and 
presence of the T315I mutation. Ph+ ALL patients were combined with BP-CML patients 
(referred to as BP-CML/Ph+ ALL) and included in cohort E if they were resistant/intolerant or

cohort F if they had T315I mutation. Ninety-four patients were included in the BP-CML/Ph+ 
ALL group (48 in cohort E and 46 in cohort F). The primary response endpoints of the study 
were met, based on analysis of the primary endpoints of major cytogenetic response (MCyR) by 
12 months (CP-CML patients) and major hematologic response (MaHR) by 6 months (AP-CML 
and BP-CML/Ph+ ALL patients) using 2-sided exact 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for MCyR 
and MaHR in the per protocol population in each cohort. For patients with BP-CML/Ph+ ALL, 
the prespecified variables for achieving the primary endpoint were met (95% CI, 10% to 30%). 
The overall MaHR rate by 6 months was 34.0% (treated population; 32/94 patients; 95% CI, 
24.6% to 44.5%) and 35.6% (per protocol population; 32/90 patients; 95% CI, 25.7% to 46.3%). 
In cohort E (resistant/intolerant), the MaHR rates were 35.4% and 37.0% (treated and per 
protocol populations, respectively), with a 95% CI of 23.2% to 52.5% in the per protocol 
population. In cohort F (T315I), the MaHR rates were 32.6% and 34.1% (treated and per 
protocol populations, respectively), with a 95% CI of 20.5% to 49.9% in the per protocol 
population. Of note, the overall MaHR rate was also higher than the MaHR rate attained with the 
most recent dasatinib or nilotinib therapy (34.0% versus 24.2%); by cohort the rates were 35.4% 
vs 25.0% in cohort E (resistant/intolerant) and were 32.6% versus 23.3% in cohort F (T315I), 
indicating clinically meaningful responses in these patients with advanced disease. 
The median progression-free survival (PFS) for the overall BP-CML/Ph+ ALL disease group 
(N = 94) was estimated as 91 days, with the probability of remaining progression-free at 26, 52, 
and 104 weeks estimated as 28.3%, 15.9%, and 7.9%, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) 
for the BP-CML/Ph+ ALL disease group was estimated as 209 days, and the probability of 
survival at 1, 2, and 3 years was estimated as 32.6%, 16.9%, and 9.7%, respectively. 
Preliminary results of 2 ongoing investigator-initiated studies (ponatinib in combination with 
chemotherapy (Jabbour et al. 2015; Short et al. 2017) and ponatinib in combination with steroids 
(Martinelli et al. 2017)) have provided evidence of the benefit of ponatinib in the treatment of 
newly diagnosed patients with Ph+ ALL. In addition, an investigator-initiated phase 2 study in 
patients with chronic phase CML resistant or intolerant to 1 previous TKI showed that 4 out of 
5 (80%) patients achieved a complete cytogenetic response, reinforcing the efficacy of ponatinib 
in patients failing a prior TKI (Sanford et al. 2015). 
In summary, clinical data are consistent with the following: Ponatinib is a highly potent and a 
“pan” BCR-ABL1 inhibitor, defined as having the ability to inhibit all single BCR-ABL1 
mutations. This likely explains the high degree of efficacy initially observed in patients with 
CP-CML and Ph+ ALL, even if they had been heavily pretreated. 
Details regarding the ponatinib clinical development program are provided in the investigator’s 
brochure in the section describing clinical studies.

4.2 
Rationale for the Proposed Study 
4.2.1 
Rationale for Relapsed Population (Ph+ ALL, Ph+ Mixed Phenotype Acute 
Leukemia, and Philadelphia Chromosome–like ALL) 
Historically, Ph+ ALL was consistently associated with poor outcomes in children and 
adolescents, with a 5-year event-free survival (EFS) of 40%, despite intensive chemotherapy 
regimens and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (Arico et al. 2010; 
Cazzaniga et al. 2018; Schultz et al. 2009). 
The introduction of treatment with imatinib, a first-generation TKI approved as front-line 
treatment for children with Ph+ ALL, dramatically improved the prognosis for these patients. 
Before the use of TKIs, only 45% of children with Ph+ ALL were alive 7 years after diagnosis 
(Arico et al. 2010). The combination of imatinib with standard chemotherapy led to an overall 
higher long-term disease-free survival in both adults and children (Leoni and Biondi 2015; 
Schultz et al. 2009; Schultz et al. 2014). However, the development of resistance to imatinib due 
to the presence or acquisition of mutations in the kinase domain is a common cause of disease 
recurrence (Leoni and Biondi 2015; Miller et al. 2014). In fact, some patients may harbor 
resistant mutations before TKI treatment (Pfeifer et al. 2012). Imatinib and the second-generation 
TKI dasatinib are the only BCR-ABL1 TKI treatments that are currently approved for use in 
pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL. The approach for the treatment of pediatric patients with 
suboptimal responses, resistance, or intolerance to imatinib and/or dasatinib is not well 
established. 
Other second-generation TKIs approved for use in Ph+ CML (ie, nilotinib and bosutinib) have 
activity against many kinase domain mutations that are not inhibited by imatinib. However, none 
of these agents, including dasatinib, have shown the ability to inhibit the T315I mutation (Leoni 
and Biondi 2015; Miller et al. 2014; Tamai et al. 2018) and they are expected to have the same 
limitations of resistance to this and other BCR-ABL1 mutations in the proposed pediatric 
population as they do in adults. The incidence of resistant mutations in the pediatric population is 
unknown; however, ABL1-kinase domain mutations account for resistance in over 80% of cases 
of Ph+ ALL relapse in adults. Specifically, the T315I mutation is the most frequent mutation 
detectable in TKI-resistant adult patients (Foà et al. 2011; Soverini et al. 2014; Watanabe et al. 
2012). In one study with dasatinib, the T315I mutation was observed in 75% of relapsed patients 
(Rousselot et al. 2016). Ponatinib may represent a major step in overcoming drug resistance for 
pediatric patients with relapsed or resistant Ph+ ALL (Leoni and Biondi 2015). 
Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a very rare type of acute leukemia with an 
approximate incidence of 1% to 2.5% of acute leukemias in the pediatric population (Weinberg 
and Arber 2010). Patients with Ph+ MPAL generally have inferior outcomes compared to 
patients with lineage-specific leukemias. However, patients who have Ph+ MPAL respond 
favorably to a TKI-containing regimen (Matutes et al. 2011; Shimizu et al. 2014). 
Philadelphia chromosome–like (Ph-like) ALL has a similar gene expression profile to that of 
Ph+ ALL and is associated with a poor outcome. It has an incidence of 10% in children with 
standard-risk ALL, 21% in adolescents with ALL, and 27% among young adults with ALL

(Rheingold et al. 2017; Roberts et al. 2014; Roberts et al. 2012). Kinase activating mutations 
were found in 91% of patients with Ph-like ALL. Cell lines and human leukemic cells expressing 
ABL1, ABL1 CSF1R, and PDGFRB fusions were sensitive in vitro to dasatinib. The high 
frequency of kinase-activating lesions in patients with Ph-like ALL predicts that TKI therapy is 
likely to be effective in these patients. 
Rationale therefore exists that there is an unmet medical need for a more potent TKI for the 
treatment of pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL, Ph+ MPAL, or Ph-like ALL with ABL1-class 
fusions who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to a prior TKI-containing therapy, or 
Ph+ ALL with T315I mutation. Compared with earlier generation TKIs, ponatinib is a more 
potent, pan-inhibitory TKI with the potential to be more effective than other TKIs. The 
increased potency of ponatinib, along with its activity toward the single mutations associated 
with resistance to earlier generation TKIs, supports the investigation of ponatinib in combination 
with chemotherapy in the treatment of pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL, Ph+ MPAL, or Ph-like 
ALL who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to a prior TKI-containing therapy, or with 
T315I mutation in this phase 1/2 study. 
4.2.2 
Rationale for Minimum Age of at Least 1 Year 
ALL in infants (<1 year of age) is rare compared to the incidence of ALL in older children, and 
is biologically different from ALL in older children (Pieters et al. 2007). In addition to the 
vulnerability of infants to complications and toxicity of aggressive treatment regimens, there are 
several complex physiologic processes that undergo rapid changes during the first year of life 
such that infants have a distinct physiology that should be considered in designing chemotherapy 
treatment protocols (Brown 2013). Generally, specific protocols are used for ALL patients 
<1 year of age (Ibagy et al. 2013). 
4.2.3 
Rationale for Complete Remission as Primary Endpoint 
The rationale for using complete remission (CR) as the primary endpoint for this study is based 
on findings that assessing for remission at the end of the induction phase of therapy, both in 
front-line and relapse salvage therapies, has long been common practice in pediatric ALL as this 
has been an important response milestone that predicts long-term outcome. Additionally, the 
degree of reduction of the leukemic clone during remission has independent prognostic value 
(Bruggemann et al. 2006; Dworzak et al. 2002; Panzer-Grumayer et al. 2000; Pui et al. 2001; Pui 
and Evans 2006; Zhou et al. 2007). 
4.2.4 
Rationale for the Doses of Ponatinib 
Because relapsed Ph+ ALL is an aggressive disease, phase 1 of this study is a dose confirmation 
rather than a dose escalation phase. 
4.2.4.1 
Cohort 1 of the Phase 1 Portion of the Study

treatment of pediatric patients were selected to target exposures achieved in adults after

administration of 30 mg once daily (QD) doses. The selection of adult 30 mg exposures as the 
target for the pediatric population was based on benefit-risk considerations using the available 
adult clinical experience, and was additionally supported by a comparison of systemic exposures 
to in vitro estimates of pharmacologic potency for BCR-ABL1 inhibition. 
The adult phase 1 Study AP24534-07-101 supported a 45 mg ponatinib dose as the 
recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in patients with resistant hematologic cancers, including 
CML and Ph+ ALL. Thus, the pivotal PACE study (Study AP24534-10-201), conducted in adult 
patients with refractory CML or Ph+ ALL, used a ponatinib dose of 45 mg. Continued follow-up 
in the PACE study demonstrated a high incidence of arterial occlusive events (AOEs) at the 
45 mg dose. Two logistic regression analyses of dose intensity-adverse event (AE) relationships 
have been conducted on safety data collected in the ponatinib clinical development program. The 
first analysis was conducted using data from the PACE study, and a subsequent integrated 
analysis was conducted on data from across the phase 1 Study AP24534-07-101, the phase 2 
PACE study, and the phase 3 Study AP24534-12-301 (EPIC, which was a study conducted in 
patients with newly diagnosed CP-CML). These analyses have consistently indicated a 
dose-dependent increase in AEs, and notably AOE rates, which are of specific importance for 
ponatinib. Dose intensity was a statistically significant predictor of AOE rates, and these 
analyses demonstrated that the 30 mg QD dose can be expected to have a superior safety profile 
compared with 45 mg QD. In addition, the 30 mg QD dose is anticipated to provide 
pharmacologically active exposures of ponatinib because the geometric mean steady-state 
average concentration was 36.5 ng/mL based on the adult population pharmacokinetics (PK) 
analysis, which exceeds the 21.3 ng/mL (40 nM) IC50 for all BCR-ABL1 mutations in a 
cell-based assay. 
Preliminary exposure-response analyses have also been conducted using available preliminary 
data from the adult OPTIC study as of the 05 December 2018 data cutoff date. The OPTIC study 
is an ongoing, randomized, open-label, phase 2 study of ponatinib in patients with resistant 
CP-CML, in which eligible patients are randomized to receive QD administration of 1 of 
3 starting doses of ponatinib: 45, 30, or 15 mg. Patients starting at 45 or 30 mg have their daily 
dose reduced to 15 mg upon achievement of a molecular response with 2-log reduction 
(ie, BCR-ABL1/ABL1 ≤1%) (MR2) or better. 
For the preliminary exposure-efficacy analysis, the relationship between ponatinib exposure and 
molecular response states was described using a discrete-time, first-order, 4-state Markov model. 
The exposure-safety analysis described the relationship between ponatinib exposure and the risk 
of AOEs using a parametric time-to-event model. In these analyses, exposure-related increases 
were observed for both efficacy (MR2 or better response) and safety (AOEs). Simulations of 
dose-response using the developed exposure-response models were performed for the dosing 
regimens in the OPTIC study, and the results were overlaid (Figure 4.a). 
In the model-based dose-response simulations, a starting dose of 30 mg was predicted to have an 
AOE rate of approximately 9% at 1 year, representing only a modest increase as compared to the 
15 mg dose (approximately 7% AOE rate). In contrast, the starting dose of 45 mg was predicted 
to have an AOE rate of approximately 13%. The predicted dose-response relationship for

efficacy suggests a greater relative increase in the percentage of patients with MR2, or better 
response at 30 mg (44%) versus 15 mg (35%), as compared to 45 mg (49%) versus 30 mg (44%). 
Taken together, these preliminary analyses of the available OPTIC study data as of the 
05 December 2018 data cutoff date indicate a potentially better benefit-risk profile for the 30 mg 
starting dose compared to the 15 or 45 mg starting doses.

AOE: arterial occlusive event; MR2: molecular response with 2-log reduction. 
 
Accordingly, pediatric doses in phase 1 cohort 1 targeted adult exposures achieved at the 30 mg 
dose as this dose provides pharmacologically relevant exposures in the efficacious range, while 
reducing the risk for treatment-related toxicities relative to the 45 mg dose. Furthermore, 
ponatinib is being administered in combination with multiagent chemotherapy, thereby favoring 
selection of a lower dose than the approved adult single-agent dose of 45 mg. 
Because no pediatric clinical PK data are currently available for ponatinib, an allometric scaling 
approach was used to project the pediatric PK of ponatinib from the adult population PK model. 
The use of an allometric scaling approach is supported by knowledge of clearance mechanisms 
for ponatinib and their corresponding ontogeny. Ponatinib is metabolized predominantly by 
cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) with additional contributions by esterases and/or amidases. 
These clearance pathways are expected to be at adult levels by 1 year of age (CYP3A), or be 
at >60% of adult levels within the first year of life (esterases/amidases) (Boberg et al. 2017; 
Hines et al. 2016; Shi et al. 2011; Upreti and Wahlstrom 2016). Accordingly, simulations based

on the population PK model, developed using adult data, have been performed to guide dose 
selection for the phase 1 dose confirmation portion of the study. 
The adult population PK model describes ponatinib PK in cancer patients as a 2-compartment 
model with linear clearance and absorption via 2 sequential transit compartments before entering 
the central compartment. Age and body weight on the central volume of distribution were the 
only significant covariates in the model (Hanley et al. 2022). 
For the purpose of predicting pediatric doses that would match adult exposures at 30 mg QD, the 
model was adapted by removing the previously estimated adult covariate effects and including 
allometric scaling coefficients of 0.75 and 1 on clearance and volume parameters, respectively. 
The adapted model, through simulation, was used to predict the target exposure (area under the 
plasma concentration–time curve [AUC]) in adult patients and to simulate pediatric exposures 
after administration of fixed doses of ponatinib. 
Ponatinib doses of 20 mg for pediatric patients weighing between 30 kg and 45 kg, and 30 mg 
for pediatric patients weighing ≥45 kg were predicted to result in systemic exposures that 
approximately match adult exposures following a 30 mg dose. Therefore, dose level 1 of phase 1 
cohort 1 enrolled patients ≥30 kg who were able to swallow solid oral dosage forms (ie, tablets) 
as the age-appropriate formulation (AAF) was not available prior to protocol amendment 3. 
Patients weighing between 30 and 45 kg received 20 mg ponatinib, and patients weighing ≥45 kg 
received 30 mg ponatinib. Patients experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) 
that required dose reductions had their ponatinib dose reduced to dose level -1. 
Enrollment to cohort 1 of the phase 1 portion of the study is completed as of protocol 
amendment 3. 
4.2.4.2 
Safety Data from Cohort 1 of the Phase 1 Portion of the Study 
Seven patients with Ph+ ALL, 3 male patients and 4 female patients, were enrolled and treated in 
cohort 1 of the phase 1 portion of the study. The median age at enrollment was 12.0 years (range, 
9-17 years). Per protocol, up to 6 patients had to be concurrently enrolled into phase 1 cohort 1 to 
determine the RP2D; 1 patient aged >16 years and 6 patients aged ≤16 years were enrolled. 
As of 21 October 2022, 4 patients were on study treatment and 3 patients were receiving 
ponatinib treatment, including 2 patients receiving continuation therapy. 
As of 21 October 2022, all patients presented with TEAEs related to ponatinib and/or related to 
the backbone chemotherapy. 
The most frequently reported TEAEs were anaemia (in 6 patients); ALT increased, AST 
increased, and hypoalbuminaemia (each in 5 patients); blood fibrinogen decreased, 
gamma-glutamyltransferase increased, lymphocyte count decreased, neutrophil count decreased, 
white blood cell count (WBC) decreased, headache, and constipation (each in 4 patients); and 
pyrexia, vomiting, lipase increased, platelet count decreased, and thrombocytopenia (each in 
3 patients). The most frequently reported Grade ≥3 TEAEs were anaemia (in 5 patients); 
lymphocyte count decreased, neutrophil count decreased, and WBC decreased (each in

4 patients); and ALT increased, blood fibrinogen increased, platelet count decreased, and 
thrombocytopenia (each in 3 patients). 
Four patients experienced 8 serious TEAEs: ALT increased (2 events), hepatotoxicity, 
hypertriglyceridaemia, and seizures in 1 patient; catheter site haemorrhage and dilatation 
ventricular in 1 patient; and pneumonia in 1 patient. No serious TEAEs related to ponatinib were 
reported. 
Three patients experienced TEAEs leading to ponatinib dose reduction and 4 patients 
experienced TEAEs leading to ponatinib dose discontinuation. 
Two patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) before completing the reinduction 
block and discontinued study treatment. Reported DLTs were Grade 3 skin rash; and Grade 3 
liver toxicity (which included both Grade 3 ALT elevation and Grade 3 direct and total bilirubin 
elevation). Therefore, the available safety data indicate that ponatinib dose level 1 of phase 1 
cohort 1 (ie, 30 mg QD adult exposures) was not adequately tolerated. Per Section 8.1.2 of 
protocol amendment 2, if 2 out of 6 patients experienced DLTs, the treatment regimen was to be 
considered not adequately tolerated and additional cohorts could be enrolled. 
4.2.4.3 
Cohort 2 of the Phase 1 Portion of the Study 
Following review of safety data of phase 1 cohort 1, the dose of ponatinib will be reduced and 
the chemotherapy backbone will remain unchanged for patients enrolled starting phase 1 
cohort 2 per protocol amendment 3 (see Section 4.2.5). 
In adult patients, a ponatinib dose reduction to 15 mg QD is recommended for patients 
experiencing TEAEs at 30 mg QD (Iclusig (ponatinib) 15 and 30 and 45 mg Film-Coated Tablets 
2022; Iclusig (ponatinib) Tablets for Oral Use 2022). 
Thus, dose level 1 of phase 1 cohort 2 will target adult exposures achieved after administration 
of 15 mg QD. Simulations were performed using the allometrically scaled population PK model 
and indicated that ponatinib doses of 15 mg, 10 mg, 7.5 mg, and 5 mg for patients weighing 
≥45 kg, 30 kg to <45 kg, 15 kg to <30 kg, and 5 kg to <15 kg, respectively, are predicted to 
result in systemic exposures that approximately match adult exposures following administration 
of 15 mg (Figure 4.b). Patients experiencing TEAEs that require a dose reduction will have their 
ponatinib dose reduced by 1 dose level (ie, cohort 2 dose level -1 in Table 8.a).

4.2.5 
Rationale for Selection of Chemotherapy Backbone Regimen 
A modified United Kingdom (UK) ALL R3 regimen has been selected as the chemotherapy 
backbone for this study. The UK ALL R3 regimen was used in a study for children with first 
relapse of ALL that compared idarubicin with mitoxantrone in reinduction (Parker et al. 2010). 
This trial reported the best survival results of any relapse regimen to date. However, when this 
reinduction regimen was used in combination with new agents (ie, temsirolimus, decitabine, and 
vorinostat) in recent Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia & Lymphoma consortium 
and Children’s Oncology Group (COG) protocols, it resulted in severe toxicity, including 
life-threatening infections (Burke et al. 2016; Rheingold et al. 2017). Therefore, for this study, 
the R3 reinduction regimen has been modified by substituting the type of anthracycline while 
keeping the original schedule (Table 8.b). Also, the dexamethasone dose and schedule have been 
changed to a more conventional regimen. This reinduction regimen has been well tolerated when 
used in previous studies (Goulden et al. 2017; Larsen et al. 2016). 
All 3 drugs, asparaginase, methotrexate, and ponatinib, could have contributed to the occurrence 
of liver toxicities observed in most patients in cohort 1, which required ponatinib dose reductions 
and interruptions. In addition, asparaginase has the potential for coagulopathy and pancreatitis as 
does ponatinib, particularly in combination with corticosteroid therapy.

Age-Appropriate Formulation for Ponatinib 
As of protocol amendment 3, the AAF for ponatinib is available. The AAF is supplied as mini-
tablet–containing capsules, ie minitab capsules, with dose strengths of 2.5 and 5 mg. A previous 
clinical study (Study INCB 84344-103) in healthy adult volunteers assessed the relative 
bioavailability of the AAF capsules administered intact, or the capsule contents sprinkled on 
yogurt or applesauce, versus the tablet formulation. The results of this relative bioavailability 
study indicated that the relative bioavailability (area under the plasma concentration-time curve 
from time 0 to infinity [AUC∞] ratio) and 90% CIs for the AAF versus the tablet formulation 
comparisons were all within 80% to 125%. Therefore, ponatinib tablets, intact minitab capsules, 
and minitab capsules opened and sprinkled in yogurt or applesauce can be used interchangeably 
without dose adjustment.

STUDY DESIGN 
6.1 
Overview of Study Design 
This is a pivotal phase 1/2, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the 
safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy of ponatinib when administered in combination with 
multiagent chemotherapy in pediatric patients (aged ≥1 year to ≤21 years) with Ph+ ALL, 
Ph+ MPAL, or Ph-like ALL with targetable kinase-activating lesions and either (i) or (ii) as 
follows: 
(i) 
For non-US sites: Patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at 
least 1 prior therapy that contained a BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI, OR 
For US sites: Patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least 
1 prior therapy that contained a second-generation BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI; OR 
(ii) 
Have a BCR-ABL1 T315I mutation. 
Patients will undergo screening assessments for up to 10 days to determine eligibility 
(Figure 6.a). In both phase 1 and phase 2, eligible patients will receive two 35-day blocks of 
therapy (reinduction block and consolidation block). Each block will include 29 days of study 
treatment consisting of daily ponatinib and a modified UK ALL R3 chemotherapy backbone 
regimen specified in Table 8.b and a rest period from chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 days 
consisting of daily ponatinib only. Disease assessment will occur at the end of each block. 
Patients will undergo an end of treatment (EOT) visit (EOT1) 25 to 30 days after the last dose of 
study treatment in the consolidation block, or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate 
therapy or optional ponatinib continuation therapy (Appendix A, Table 1). 
Patients completing protocol therapy and the EOT1 visit can proceed to alternate therapies not 
containing ponatinib as off-protocol therapy. Alternatively, eligible patients may receive optional 
ponatinib continuation therapy (either ponatinib monotherapy or combination therapy at the 
investigator’s discretion and with sponsor agreement) after completing the 2 blocks of study 
treatment and the EOT1 visit. Patients who receive optional continuation therapy with 
ponatinib/ponatinib-containing therapy will be followed per the schedule of events (SOE) and 
proceed to a second EOT visit (EOT2) 30 to 40 days after the last dose of ponatinib, or earlier, if 
the patient discontinues ponatinib/ponatinib-containing therapy sooner than 30 days 
(Appendix A, Table 2). Patients who discontinue ponatinib before completing the consolidation 
block will be discontinued from study treatment and proceed to the EOT1 visit. All patients will 
be followed for at least 3 years from EOT1, with primary analysis performed approximately 
6 months after the last patient has been enrolled.

Phase 1 of the study (approximately 12 DLT-evaluable patients) is a PK/safety lead-in phase for 
dose confirmation to establish the RP2D of ponatinib administered either as the tablet 
formulation or the AAF (Table 8.a) in combination with the chemotherapy backbone (Table 8.b). 
The initial ponatinib doses evaluated in cohort 1 of the phase 1 portion of the study were selected 
to target systemic exposures comparable to those achieved in adults receiving 30 mg QD based 
on the results of population PK modeling and simulation (see Section 4.2.4.1). 
A staggered enrollment is being applied. Phase 1 cohort 1 was initiated with the tablet 
formulation in patients able to swallow solid oral dosage forms and weighing at least 30 kg as 
the AAF was not available during that enrollment period. As of protocol amendment 3, both the 
tablet formulation and AAF are available for use in phase 1 (see Section 4.3). Additional details 
regarding administration of the AAF are provided in the study/pharmacy manual. 
The PK, safety, and tolerability data from phase 1 will inform selection of the recommended 
dose of ponatinib for confirmatory evaluation of safety and efficacy in the phase 2 portion of the 
study. A rolling 6 design will be followed for all phase 1 cohorts. 
As of cohort 2 of phase 1, patients will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether 
the patient meets the criteria to be DLT-evaluable. DLT-evaluable patients must have received 
ponatinib doses on at least 70% of the reinduction block days (eg, 25 or more of the 35 days) per 
protocol or experienced a confirmed DLT. 
Ponatinib doses for evaluation in phase 1 cohort 2 will target systemic exposures comparable to 
those achieved in adults receiving 15 mg QD based on the results of population PK modeling and 
simulation (see Section 4.2.4.3). For phase 1 cohort 2, approximately 6 DLT-evaluable patients 
with a body weight of at least 5 kg will be enrolled, with a minimum of 2 patients with a baseline 
body weight <30 kg. No more than 1 DLT-evaluable patient may be >16 years of age in 
cohort 2. 
To determine the RP2D, a minimum of 6 DLT-evaluable patients in cohort 2 must complete the 
reinduction block. If 2 out of 6 patients experience a DLT, the study will be paused to determine 
further tolerability of this combination. All patients enrolled in cohort 2 under protocol 
amendment 3 and those enrolled under protocol amendment 4 will be assessed together in a 
single cohort for determination of DLTs and RP2D as defined in protocol amendment 4. 
Definitions of DLTs are provided in Section 8.2. The DLT observation period for each 
formulation will start on Day 1 and continue until the end of the reinduction block. If patients 
have residual hematologic toxicities at end of the reinduction block, they will be followed for up 
to an additional 7 days for DLT evaluation. 
Cohort enrollment in a rolling 6 design is continuous and will proceed as follows: 
• If ≤1 DLT for the first 3 to 5 patients, subsequent patients (the fourth, fifth, and/or sixth 
patient[s]) may be enrolled. 
• If ≥2 DLTs occur in the first 3 to 5 patients, enrollment will be closed.

CONFIDENTIAL 
• If a patient becomes unevaluable for DLT assessment, an additional patient (ie, replacement) 
may be enrolled to ensure a minimum of 6 DLT-evaluable patients. 
Upon review of patients treated in cohort 2, if dose level 1 is determined not to be tolerated or 
fails to achieve the desired target systemic exposures and RP2D is not confirmed with cohort 2, 
then no further cohorts are planned to be tested. 
The RP2D of ponatinib will be determined after evaluating the available safety and PK data from 
the first 6 patients enrolled in phase 1 cohort 2. Up to an additional 6 patients may be enrolled to 
further characterize the safety, PK, and preliminary efficacy of the RP2D of ponatinib before the 
start of phase 2. 
Phase 2 of the study will enroll approximately 68 patients, including DLT-evaluable patients 
enrolled to phase 1 who completed the reinduction block and dosed at the RP2D. 
In phase 2, patients will receive daily ponatinib in combination with the chemotherapy backbone 
at the RP2D determined after review of available data from the phase 1 portion of the study 
(Table 8.b). Phase 2 will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ponatinib at the RP2D in 
combination with chemotherapy in the study population.

30 to 40 days after last dose of ponatinib, or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy. See Table 8.d 
for optional ponatinib continuation therapy regimen. Patients who are receiving clinical benefit from ponatinib 
treatment may continue therapy for a maximum of 12 months. If patients continue deriving clinical benefit after 
12 months of optional continuation therapy, they may remain on ponatinib treatment if the investigator provides the 
evidence of clinical benefits and confirms with the sponsor. 
 
The ponatinib dose may be reduced or discontinued early if a patient experiences study

completing the consolidation block will be discontinued from study treatment and proceed to the 
EOT1 visit. Patients may discontinue study treatment at any time. Patients who discontinue study 
treatment will proceed to the EOT1 visit 25 to 30 days after receiving their last dose of ponatinib 
(or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy or optional ponatinib continuation 
therapy) as specified in the SOE (Appendix A, Table 1). Patients who discontinue from optional 
ponatinib continuation therapy will proceed to the EOT2 visit (Appendix A, Table 2). 
Patients will undergo assessments as described in the SOE (Appendix A, Table 1). Key 
assessments for efficacy include BM samples (aspirate and/or biopsy) for CR status and MRD, 
peripheral blood samples to assess hematological and molecular responses and for exploratory 
biomarker assessments. In addition, patients and/or their parents/legal guardians will be 
administered a questionnaire to assess the palatability of the ponatinib AAF (during the 
reinduction block only). Serial blood samples for the measurement of plasma concentrations of 
ponatinib will be obtained at prespecified time points as described in Appendix A, Table 3 and 
Table 4. These data will be used to characterize the PK of ponatinib. 
Toxicity will be evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria 
for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.0, effective 27 November 2017. 
AEs will be assessed and may include results from laboratory tests, vital signs, and 
electrocardiograms (ECGs) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ponatinib. 
Development of mutations will be assessed both prior to ponatinib treatment and following study 
treatment.

Number of Patients 
Phase 1 of the study will enroll approximately 12 DLT-evaluable patients; phase 2 of the study

STUDY POPULATION 
Patients (aged ≥1 year to ≤21 years and weighing at least 5 kg) with Ph+ ALL, Ph+ MPAL, or 
Ph-like ALL with targetable kinase-activating lesions must have BM involvement and either 
(i) or (ii) as follows:  
(i) 
For non-US sites: patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least 
one prior therapy that contained a BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI; OR 
For US sites: patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least one 
prior therapy that contained a second-generation BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI; OR 
(ii) 
Have a BCR-ABL1 T315I mutation. Referring institutions laboratory results will be 
accepted for enrollment; however, the mutation needs to be confirmed by the central 
laboratory. If the mutational status is not concordant, the patient will be withdrawn 
from the study and excluded from analyses. 
In phase 1 cohort 1, only patients with a body weight of ≥30 kg and able to swallow solid oral 
dosage forms were enrolled because the AAF was not available. As of protocol amendment 3,

ii. Definite evidence of Ph-like ALL with targetable kinase-activating lesions involving 
any of the following kinase genes: ABL1, ABL2, CSF1R, and PDGFRB. 
Ph-like ALL diagnosis requires the identification of specified targetable kinase-
activating lesions preferably by RNA sequencing or by alternative accredited 
method used by the site. Referring institution’s laboratory results will be accepted 
for diagnosis and study enrollment. No confirmation by a sponsor central laboratory 
is required. 
c) Disease status:  
i. For non-US sites: patients who have relapsed (post 0 or 1 HSCT) or are resistant or

STUDY TREATMENT 
Investigational therapy: Ponatinib 
Chemotherapy backbone (see Table 8.b) 
Treatment blocks (ponatinib plus chemotherapy backbone): 
• Reinduction phase: One 35-day cycle (29 days study treatment, 6 days rest consisting of 
daily ponatinib only). 
• Consolidation phase: One 35-day cycle (29 days study treatment, 6 days rest consisting of 
daily ponatinib only). Consolidation can start on or after Day 36 when peripheral counts 
recover and the patient has recovered from chemotherapy-related toxicities. Ponatinib 
therapy will not be interrupted during this period unless the patient has toxicity suspected to 
be related to ponatinib. 
Optional continuation therapy (see Table 8.d). 
8.1 
Study Treatment Administration 
8.1.1 
Investigational Therapy: Ponatinib 
All protocol-specific criteria for administration of ponatinib must be met and documented before 
ponatinib administration. Study drug will be administered only to eligible patients under the 
supervision of the investigator or identified subinvestigator(s). 
Prior to protocol amendment 3, ponatinib was available as immediate-release tablets at dosage 
strengths of 10 mg, 15 mg, and 30 mg. To match adult exposures at the phase 1 cohort 1 starting 
dose (30 mg adult exposures) and to allow for dose reductions (15 mg adult exposures), the 
tablet strengths were sufficient only for patients weighing ≥30 kg (Section 8.1.1.1). Upon 
implementation of protocol amendment 3, an AAF of ponatinib minitab capsules is available to 
enable administration of ponatinib to pediatric patients weighing <30 kg or unable to swallow 
solid oral dosage forms. 
In phase 1 cohort 1, only patients weighing ≥30 kg and able to swallow the tablets were enrolled 
as the AAF was not available. At the time of protocol amendment 3, the AAF is available at dose 
strengths of 2.5 mg and 5 mg. In phase 1 cohort 2, ponatinib treatment will be assigned at the 
starting dose (15 mg adult exposures) and dose reductions will be allowed according to the dose

levels defined in Table 8.a. Additional details regarding administration of the AAF are provided 
in the study/pharmacy manual. 
If the patient is not hospitalized, ponatinib will be administered by the patient’s parent or legal 
guardian or will be self-administered by the patient on a daily schedule at the assigned dose level 
in phase 1 or at the RP2D in phase 2 by mouth (PO) QD. Each 35-day dosing period is referred 
to as one block. Each block consists of 29 days of study treatment (ponatinib in combination 
with chemotherapy) followed by a rest period from chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 days. 
Ponatinib will be administered QD during the treatment block including the rest period. Any 
change with the schedule should be discussed with the sponsor’s medical monitor/designee. 
Each patient or the patient’s parent or legal guardian will be provided a diary or equivalent where 
the date and time of each administration will be recorded; complete instructions will be provided 
with the site operations manual. 
Patients should receive ponatinib at approximately the same time each day. Patients who fail to 
take their daily ponatinib dose within 6 hours of when it is due should not make up the missed 
dose. Any missing doses should be recorded, and subsequent training of the patient or patient’s 
parent or legal guardian should be documented in the appropriate source record (eg, clinic chart) 
and in the electronic case report form (eCRF). 
If severe emesis or mucositis prevents the patient from taking a ponatinib dose, that dose will be 
skipped. Under no circumstance should a patient repeat a dose or double-up doses. 
8.1.1.1 
Tablet Formulation 
For eligible patients assigned to ≥10 mg doses and who are able to swallow solid oral dosage 
forms, ponatinib will be supplied by the sponsor as 10 mg (oval-shaped) and 15 mg and 30 mg 
(round-shaped), white, film-coated tablets. 
Patients and their parents or legal guardians should be instructed to take/administer the 
prescribed number of tablets with water, with or without food, at approximately the same time 
each day, continuously throughout the study, and not to take more than the prescribed dose at 
any time. Patients should swallow the study medication whole and not chew it or manipulate it in 
any way before swallowing. 
8.1.1.2 
Age-Appropriate Formulation 
For eligible patients who are unable to swallow solid oral dosage forms or require doses <10 mg, 
an AAF of ponatinib will be provided by the sponsor as round-shaped, film-coated mini-tablets 
filled into an opaque white capsule as 2.5 and 5 mg capsules (ie, minitab capsules). 
Patients and their parents or legal guardians should be instructed to take/administer the 
prescribed number of minitab capsules at approximately the same time each day, continuously 
throughout the study, and not to take more than the prescribed dose at any time. Minitab capsules 
should be taken/administered either swallowed whole with water, with or without food, or, if 
needed, the capsule contents sprinkled in applesauce or yogurt and swallowed. Additional details 
regarding administration of the AAF are provided in the study/pharmacy manual.

Patients and/or their parents/legal guardians will be administered a questionnaire to assess the 
palatability of the ponatinib AAF (during the reinduction block only). 
8.1.2 
Study Treatment Regimen 
Phase 1 will determine the RP2D of ponatinib. A rolling 6 design (Skolnik et al. 2008) will be 
followed for both phase 1 cohort 1 and phase 1 cohort 2 (details are provided in Section 6.1). 
In phase 1 cohort 1, pediatric patients received fixed doses of ponatinib based on body weight 
ranges (tablet formulation only) with chemotherapy (Table 8.b). 
In phase 1 cohort 2, patients will also receive fixed doses of ponatinib based on body weight 
ranges provided in Table 8.a (both tablet formulation or AAF) with chemotherapy (Table 8.b). 
Throughout each block of therapy (ie, reinduction, consolidation, and monthly optional 
continuation) patients should receive the weight-based dose of ponatinib as assigned based on 
body weight at Day 1 of each block.

saline with 30 mEq NaHCO3/L at 125 mL/m2/h to achieve a urine specific gravity ≤1.010 and pH between 7 and 
8. Ringers lactate maybe used as initial fluid if a bicarbonate-containing solution is unavailable. Adjust fluid 
volume and sodium bicarbonate to maintain urine specific gravity and pH at above parameters. A bicarbonate 
bolus (25 mEq/m2 over 15 min) may be given to raise the urine pH relatively quickly. A normal saline bolus may 
also be helpful in facilitating hydration. Continue hydration and alkalinization throughout methotrexate infusion 
after its completion until the last dose of leucovorin has been given.

Ponatinib will be administered QD as part of the study treatment regimen (Table 8.b). For 
phase 1 cohort 1, dose level 1 targeted adult exposures achieved at 30 mg QD as determined by 
simulations from an allometrically scaled adult population PK model. For phase 1 cohort 2, dose 
level 1 is expected to achieve systemic exposures that approximately match adult exposures after 
administration of 15 mg QD. Pediatric patients received fixed doses of ponatinib based on 
weight ranges for phase 1 cohort 1 and will receive fixed doses of ponatinib based on the weight 
ranges provided in Table 8.a for phase 1 cohort 2. Patients experiencing TEAEs that require a 
dose reduction will have their ponatinib dose reduced as per Table 8.a. 
Patients achieving documented clinical benefit have the option to continue to receive ponatinib 
monotherapy or ponatinib in combination with maintenance-type chemotherapy regimen 
(Table 8.d) on investigator decision and with agreement by the sponsor, with the intent to avoid 
further intensive multiagent chemotherapy in combination with ponatinib. Also, no experimental 
agent is allowed to be incorporated in the optional continuation ponatinib/ponatinib-containing 
therapy. If electing the optional continuation therapy, the patient will continue on the same dose 
he/she was on and tolerated during the consolidation block. If the patient had a dose reduction 
during consolidation block, subsequent dose re-escalation may only occur to the reintroduction 
dose if criteria stated in Section 8.4.2.4 are met. Once the RP2D dose is known, and if it is 
different from the dose the patient is receiving, it will be at the discretion of the investigator to 
alter the dose of ponatinib. This optional treatment is to allow patients to continue ponatinib 
therapy until they are able to receive HSCT or other alternative therapy(ies). Once patients 
discontinue the optional ponatinib/ponatinib-containing therapy, they will have to complete the 
EOT2 evaluation. At this time, patients may receive further therapy(ies) at the discretion of the 
investigator. 
Patients who complete protocol therapy (reinduction and consolidation block) and EOT1 
evaluation, and do not proceed to an optional continuation ponatinib-containing therapy, are 
considered to have completed protocol therapy. At this time, patients may receive further 
therapy(ies) at the discretion of the investigator. 
Patients who discontinue ponatinib early in the reinduction block or consolidation block will be 
discontinued from study treatment and proceed to the EOT1 visit. At this time, patients may 
receive further therapy(ies) at the discretion of the investigator.

8.2 
Definitions of Dose-limiting Toxicities 
DLTs will be graded according to NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 and the causality will be assigned by 
the investigator. The DLT observation period for each formulation will be up to the first 35 days 
on treatment in phase 1 unless there are residual hematologic toxicities on Day 35, in which case 
the patient will be followed for up to an additional 7 days for DLT evaluation. 
Events considered DLTs will be defined as any of the following phase 1 events occurring during 
the first 35 days on treatment (reinduction block) that are assessed by the investigator as 
possibly, probably, or definitely related to ponatinib and must be reported as related: 
• Any Grade ≥3 nonhematologic toxicity that occurs after the first dose of ponatinib and is 
possibly, probably, or definitely related to ponatinib, with the following exceptions: 
– Fever or infection with or without hospitalization. 
– Fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms (anorexia, vomiting, dehydration, mucositis). 
– Hypofibrinogenemia. 
– Metabolic/laboratory abnormalities, including ALT, that resolve to ≤Grade 2 within 
7 days. 
• Grade ≥3 elevation of ALT concurrent with an elevation of direct bilirubin >2 × ULN. 
• Any Grade 4 pancreatitis, or Grade 3 pancreatitis which does not resolve within 7 days. 
• Any Grade 4 skin rash, or Grade 3 skin rash which does not resolve within 7 days. 
• Hematologic toxicities: Failure to recover a peripheral ANC ≥0.5 × 109/L and a platelet count 
≥50 × 109/L due to documented BM hypoplasia (cellularity <10% to 20%) within 42 days

after the beginning of systemic chemotherapy without evidence of active disease by BM 
evaluation or active infection. 
• Any delay or interruption of therapy of ≥4 weeks due to suspected treatment-related toxicity 
unless otherwise specified. 
Patients will be evaluated for DLTs in phase 1 during the reinduction block. Patients who meet 
DLT criteria will discontinue study treatment and proceed to the EOT1 visit. 
When there is ambiguity about whether an AE is related to the underlying disease or the 
chemotherapy backbone, as opposed to ponatinib, the most conservative approach will be taken 
and the AE will be considered as study drug–related. 
8.3 
Criteria for Beginning a Consolidation Block or Optional Continuation Therapy 
Treatment with ponatinib will use a block length of 35 days (29 days of study treatment followed 
by a rest period from chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 days). Ponatinib will be administered 
QD during the treatment block including the rest period. For a new treatment block to begin, the 
patient must meet the following criteria: 
• ANC must be ≥750/µL. 
• Platelet count must be ≥50,000/µL (van Veen et al. 2010). 
• For therapy to resume, toxicity considered to be related to treatment with ponatinib must 
have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline or to a level considered acceptable by the physician. 
The physician may consult with the sponsor’s medical monitor to determine levels that are 
acceptable based on the overall clinical status of the patient to continue therapy. 
If the patient does not meet the above-cited criteria for retreatment, initiation of the next 
treatment block should be delayed for 1 week. During a period of treatment delay, patients 
should be closely monitored for recovery and resumption of treatment. Should the start of 
consolidation need to be delayed for more than 3 weeks because of incomplete recovery from 
treatment-related toxicity, the dose will be reduced by 1 dose level when treatment resumes. If 
further treatment is delayed for more than 3 weeks at the reduced dose level and further 
reductions are not permitted per the guidelines (see Section 8.4) then the patient will discontinue 
study treatment and proceed to the EOT1 visit. 
8.4 
Dose Modification Guidelines for Safety 
8.4.1 
Early Safety Stopping Rules 
Due to concerns regarding vaso-occlusive events and pancreatitis resulting from the combination 
of ponatinib with the multiagent chemotherapy backbone, the sponsor may suspend enrollment 
for the following events: 
• If ≥4 patients in the first 15 patients accrued develop Grade ≥3 veno-occlusive event 
regardless of the presence or absence of a central vascular access device.

• Any major adverse cardiac event (MACE) including but not limited to: 
– Any grade arteriothrombotic event. 
– Any grade cardiovascular event. 
• If ≥3 patients in the first 15 patients accrued develop Grade ≥3 pancreatitis. 
A recommendation to reopen enrollment might be made if causes other than therapy are thought 
to be the primary cause of the event(s). Any decision to restart enrollment after the stopping rules 
have been met will require prior approval of a substantial amendment by the applicable Health 
Authorities, such as the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). 
The sponsor may suspend further enrollment if more than one patient dies for reasons other than 
disease progression. 
8.4.2 
Dose Reduction for Treatment-related Toxicity 
8.4.2.1 
Nonhematologic Treatment-Related Toxicity: Ponatinib 
Dose reduction guidelines for ponatinib are summarized in Table 8.e, and AEs should be graded 
according to NCI CTCAE Version 5.0. 
These guidelines should be followed by clinical investigators; however, for an individual patient, 
dose interruptions, reductions, and treatment discontinuation can also be based on the clinical 
circumstance. Variation from these guidelines must be communicated with the medical 
monitor/designee, ideally prior to implementation but no later than 72 hours, and resulting 
agreements should be recorded in source documents. When the observed toxicity has resolved to 
Grade ≤1 or returned to baseline, the investigator may resume dosing if clinically indicated. 
Guidance for re-escalation after resolution of adverse drug reactions is provided in 
Section 8.4.2.4. 
Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicities (considered related to treatment) will, in general, require that 
treatment with study drug be permanently discontinued. If, in the opinion of the investigator and 
the sponsor’s medical monitor or designee, it is in the patient's best interest to continue treatment 
with study drug, then the dose of study drug will be reduced by at least 1 dose level in 
subsequent cycles of treatment after recovery from the toxicity or toxicities in question to 
Grade 1 or to baseline values. 
Doses may be interrupted for study drug–related toxicities for up to 3 weeks; longer interruptions 
need to be discussed with the sponsor’s medical monitor/designee. 
See Section 8.4.2.4 for dose re-escalation guidelines after the resolution of adverse drug 
reactions.

8.4.2.1.1 
Peripheral Neuropathy 
Peripheral neuropathy will be closely monitored during reinduction and toxicities graded. A 
complete neurologic examination should be documented before the start of therapy, including a 
minimum assessment of cranial nerve function; deep tendon reflexes of the brachioradialis, 
patellar, and Achilles tendons; balance; gait; and general sensation. All dose modifications 
should be based on the worst preceding toxicity. 
Since vincristine can also cause peripheral neuropathy, dose modification will be performed as 
follows in Table 8.f. Modifications should be made any time peripheral neuropathy is noted.

Dose Modifications for Arterial Occlusive Events and Venous Thrombotic/Embolic 
Events: Ponatinib 
If an AOE or VTE occurs, treatment should be interrupted or discontinued. Ponatinib should not 
be re-administered to patients with arterial or venous occlusive events unless the investigator 
assesses that the potential benefit outweighs the risk of continued therapy. 
AOEs and VTEs include a broad range of nonspecific terms that could meet the criteria for 
diagnosis of this type of event. Investigators should use their clinical judgment and medical

knowledge of the specific terms in describing these AOEs and VTEs. The sponsor will 
periodically look at the safety data and inform the site if any AE qualifies for AOEs/VTEs as per 
these criteria. 
Investigator’s discretion should be used to judge the event as a vascular pathology when 
applying these dose-modifying schemes. 
8.4.2.2.1 
Arterial Occlusive Events 
In patients suspected of developing any serious or clinically significant AOE requiring urgent 
intervention or hospitalization AOE, ponatinib should be immediately interrupted, and may be 
discontinued at the discretion of the treating physician. 
Patients should be discontinued from ponatinib in the event of MI, unstable angina, 
cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or revascularization procedures. For 
all other AOEs, dose modification guidelines are outlined in Table 8.g.

Hypothyroidism 
If a patient develops evidence of hypothyroidism, a consultation with a pediatric endocrinologist 
should be initiated for thorough evaluation, follow-up plan and assessment for replacement 
therapy.  
8.4.2.4 
Dose Re-escalation After Resolution of Adverse Drug Reactions 
After dose reductions for toxicity, the dose of ponatinib can be re-escalated from the reduced 
dose level to the previously administered dose level if the following criteria is met: 
• All Grade ≥2 and Grade 3 nonhematologic toxicities have recovered to Grade 1 or baseline. 
Patients may receive a dose escalation up to the starting dose level if the above criteria continue 
to be met. In no circumstances should a patient receive a ponatinib dose higher than their starting 
dose level. 
Note: Patients with Grade ≥3 left ventricular dysfunction, congestive heart failure (CHF), arterial 
occlusion, and Grade ≥2 pancreatitis are not eligible for dose re-escalation after resolution of 
their symptoms. 
8.4.2.5 
Criteria for Discontinuation of Ponatinib 
Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicities will in general require that treatment with ponatinib be 
permanently discontinued. If, in the opinion of the investigator and the project clinician, it is in 
the patient’s best interest to continue treatment with ponatinib, then the dose of ponatinib should 
be reduced to dose level -1 if the patient is receiving the first dose level after recovery of the 
toxicity or toxicities in question to Grade 1 or to baseline values.

8.4.3 
Chemotherapy Backbone 
It is the investigator’s responsibility to refer to the study/pharmacy manual or the most current 
individual package insert (local approved label or relevant summary(ies) of product 
characteristics [SmPC]) for specific information related to the chemotherapy backbone side 
effects, preparation, reconstitution, dispensation, storage, and handling. Local approved labels or 
Section 4.8 of the relevant SmPC will serve as the reference safety information (RSI) for 
determining expectedness of serious adverse reactions (SARs) that occur with these 
chemotherapy agents. The following are general practice guidelines. 
8.4.3.1 
Asparaginase (Polyethylene Glycol-Asparaginase or Erwinia Asparaginase)-Related 
Toxicities) 
8.4.3.1.1 
For Allergy 
Local allergic reactions (inflammation at injection site or swelling): Continue asparaginase 
administration in the presence of Grade 1 allergy (transient flushing or rash; drug fever <38ºC). 
Note: These recommendations only apply when asparaginase is administered intramuscularly 
(IM). 
Systemic allergic reactions: Discontinuation may be considered for severe Grade 2 or higher 
allergic reactions as defined by NCI CTCAE version 5.0. 
Note: Premedication with antihistamines to decrease the risk of overt allergy symptoms is 
strongly discouraged since antihistamine use may mask the appearance of systemic allergy. 
Systemic allergy is frequently associated with the presence of asparaginase-neutralizing 
antibodies, which render asparaginase therapy ineffective. In the event of severe systemic or 
recurrent local allergic reaction, Erwinia asparaginase should be substituted. 
Anaphylaxis: Discontinue polyethylene glycol (PEG)-asparaginase if the patient develops 
Grade 3 anaphylaxis as defined by NCI CTCAE version 5.0 (symptomatic bronchospasm, with 
or without urticaria, parenteral intervention indicated; allergy-related edema/angioedema; 
hypotension). If this occurs, Erwinia asparaginase should be substituted. 
The FDA initially approved Erwinia asparaginase for use following allergy to PEG-asparaginase, 
at a dose of Erwinia asparaginase 25,000 IU/m2 × 6 doses IM on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday 
schedule substituted for a single dose of PEG-asparaginase. In December 2014, the FDA 
expanded its approval to include intravenous (IV) as well as IM administration. 
If a patient develops a Grade 3 or higher anaphylaxis to Erwinia asparaginase, discontinue future 
asparaginase therapy. Consider discontinuation for severe Grade 2 or higher allergic reactions. 
In the event that a PEG-asparaginase infusion is discontinued for an allergic reaction, regardless 
of amount received, substitution with Erwinia asparaginase should begin approximately 48 hours 
after PEG-asparaginase has been discontinued and preferably to coincide with the recommended 
Monday/Wednesday/Friday administration schedule previously detailed in patients who are 
clinically stable. Up to 6 doses of Erwinia asparaginase may be administered, as tolerated, to 
replace the incomplete IV PEG-asparaginase dose. Of note, Erwinia asparaginase is

recommended only for PEG-asparaginase hypersensitivity reactions and not for pancreatitis, 
hepatitis, coagulation abnormalities, or other nonhypersensitivity toxicities associated with 
PEG-asparaginase. To best suit the needs of each individual patient, additional modifications to 
these recommendations may be made at the discretion of the treating physician. 
Treating physicians may elect to discontinue PEG-asparaginase and switch to Erwinia 
asparaginase, at their discretion, on the basis of laboratory evidence of silent inactivation of 
asparaginase activity in the absence of clinical symptoms of hypersensitivity. 
8.4.3.1.2 
For Coagulopathy 
If the patient is symptomatic, hold asparaginase until symptoms resolve, then resume with the 
next scheduled dose. Consider factor replacement (with fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, or 
factor VIIa). Do not withhold dose for abnormal laboratory findings without clinical symptoms. 
8.4.3.1.3 
For Hyperbilirubinemia 
Asparaginase may need to be withheld in patients with elevated direct bilirubin, since 
asparaginase has been associated with hepatic toxicity. No specific guidelines are available. 
8.4.3.1.4 
For Hyperglycemia 
Do not modify dose. Treat hyperglycemia as medically indicated. 
8.4.3.1.5 
For Hyperlipidemia 
Do not modify dose. Treat hyperlipidemia as medically indicated. 
8.4.3.1.6 
For Ketoacidosis 
Hold asparaginase until the blood glucose level is regulated with insulin. 
8.4.3.1.7 
For Pancreatitis 
Discontinue asparaginase in the presence of Grade 3 or 4 pancreatitis. In the case of 
asymptomatic Grade 2 pancreatitis (enzyme elevation or radiologic findings only), asparaginase 
should be held until symptoms and signs subside and amylase/lipase levels return to normal and 
then resumed. Grade 3 or 4 pancreatitis is a contraindication to additional asparaginase 
administration. 
8.4.3.1.8 
For Thrombosis 
Withhold asparaginase until resolved, and treat with appropriate antithrombotic therapy, as 
indicated. Upon resolution of symptoms, consider resuming asparaginase while continuing 
low-molecular-weight heparin or antithrombotic therapy. 
Do not withhold dose for abnormal laboratory findings without a clinical correlate. For 
significant thrombosis, not central line–related, consider evaluation for inherited predisposition 
to thrombosis.

For Central Nervous System Events 
For CNS events (bleed, thrombosis, or infarction): Hold asparaginase. Treat with fresh frozen 
plasma, factors, or anticoagulation therapy as appropriate. Resume at full dose when all 
symptoms have resolved (and there is evidence of recanalization, in the case of thrombosis by 
computerized tomography [CT]/ magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]). Consider evaluation for 
inherited predisposition to thrombosis.

appropriate measures to prevent further extravasation and damage according to institutional 
guidelines. 
8.4.3.3 
Intrathecal Methotrexate/Triple Intrathecal Chemotherapy-Related Toxicities 
8.4.3.3.1 
For Systemic Toxicity 
The dosage for IT methotrexate will not be reduced for systemic toxicity (eg, myelosuppression, 
mucositis). Instead, leucovorin may be used at a dose of 5 mg/m2/dose every 12 hours × 2 doses, 
beginning 48 hours after the IT chemotherapy has been delivered. This may reduce the risk of 
worsening already existent myelosuppression (ANC <0.5 × 109/L) or mucositis. Do not 
administer leucovorin solely to prevent myelosuppression.

8.4.3.3.2 
For Acute Neurotoxicity 
Neurotoxicity has extremely protean manifestations, ranging from transient events, seizures or 
episodes of acute hemiparesis, to severe necrotizing encephalopathies. These toxicities are 
poorly understood, and currently it is impossible to predict who will suffer these complications. 
In addition, there are no data clearly linking the occurrence of an acute neurotoxic event with an 
increased risk of long-term neurocognitive dysfunction, nor do the changes present on MRI at 
the time of an acute event clearly correlate with or predict outcome. 
The following guidelines are offered for consideration following an acute event, but it must be 
recognized that there are little data to support these approaches or any others. Thus, the treating 
physician must evaluate the patient and, with the family, make the best possible decision with 
respect to the relative risk and benefit of continued therapy. 
Following an acute neurotoxic event, a history and physical examination should guide the 
differential diagnosis. A neurology consult may be of value and should be considered. Seizures 
and other transient events may be linked to fever, infection, encephalitis, meningitis, 
hypertension, electrolyte disturbance, hypoglycemia, trauma, intracranial hemorrhage or 
thrombosis, narcotic withdrawal, illicit drug use, or other causes in addition to the direct side 
effects of chemotherapy. Appropriate laboratory studies may include, but are not limited to, 
blood cultures, a complete blood cell count, electrolytes (eg, calcium, magnesium, and 
phosphorus), glucose levels, renal and liver function studies, and/or an examination of the 
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Imaging studies may include a CT scan and/or an MRI. The CT is 
commonly normal in the absence of stroke, but if calcifications are present, this finding may be 
indicative of a more severe mineralizing leukoencephalopathy. MRI abnormalities may be 
pronounced but transient. Posterior reversible encephalopathy may be present on MRI with 
extensive diffusion abnormalities, but these do not appear to correlate with subsequent 
demyelination or gliosis. Additional studies, including magnetic resonance angiography and/or 
venogram should be considered, if clinically indicated (eg, if there are focal deficits). 
Many acute events, seizures or episodes of transient hemiparesis, are temporally related to the 
administration of IT chemotherapy, commonly occurring 9 to 11 days postadministration. For 
patients who return to their “pre-event” status, without residual deficits of physical or neurologic 
examination, there are few data to support or guide therapeutic interventions. It is reasonable to 
hold the next dose of IT chemotherapy, or, substitute IT cytarabine for 1 dose of IT 
methotrexate, or triple IT chemotherapy. It is also reasonable to include leucovorin rescue at a 
dose of 5 mg/m2 every 12 hours × 2 doses beginning 48 hours after the lumbar puncture. This 
pattern of rescue was associated with a clear diminution in the incidence of acute neurotoxicity 
in 1 case series. There have been questions about potential interference of leucovorin with the 
efficacy of the IT methotrexate, but there are little data to support or refute this position. 
Moreover, the administration 48 hours later would minimize any potential interference. If the 
event does not recur, resumption of standard therapy should be considered, following 1 modified 
or omitted IT dose. In the face of multiple recurrent events, or evidence of progressive 
encephalopathy, another evaluation is warranted, and the treating physician may consider a more 
prolonged or definitive change in therapy. These decisions are extremely difficult and may hinge

on an individual’s view of the importance of quality of life versus an increase in the risk of 
relapse. Since the greatest impact of CNS prophylaxis occurs early in therapy, the timing of these 
events may also influence clinical decisions. Cranial radiation has been suggested as an 
alternative to continued IT chemotherapy though much of the literature on long-term 
neurocognitive dysfunction supports a more deleterious effect from cranial radiation therapy than 
IT chemotherapy. Cranial radiation is not allowed during protocol therapy. 
The use of dextromethorphan has been suggested as a neuroprotectant, capable of preventing 
N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-mediated neurotoxicity without prohibitive toxicity. Low-dose 
therapy has been recommended, in part, based on data suggesting that dextromethorphan is 
concentrated in brain relative to serum. However, the literature on the use of dextromethorphan 
supports a tight dose-response relationship, with the likelihood of sparing an initially unaffected 
area, following ischemic damage, linked to dose, in both clinical trials and animal models of 
CNS ischemia. At doses thought to be therapeutic, side effects have included nystagmus, nausea 
and vomiting, distorted vision, ataxia, and dizziness. In addition, Hollander et al have raised 
concerns about the potential deleterious effects of long-term NMDA receptor blockade on 
memory because hippocampal long-term potentiation is dependent on the activation of the 
NMDA receptor (Hollander et al. 1994). Thus, in the absence of a clinical trial there are few data 
to support the addition of dextromethorphan. 
8.4.3.3.3 
For Hydrocephalus, Microcephaly, or Known Abnormality of Cerebrospinal Fluid 
Flow Precluding Intrathecal Chemotherapy via Lumbar Puncture 
Intraventricular chemotherapy via Ommaya catheter may be used in place of IT chemotherapy 
delivered by lumbar puncture. IT chemotherapy should be given according to the same schedule, 
but at 50% of the corresponding age-based doses that would be given by lumbar puncture. 
NOTE: Obstruction to CSF flow may be a contraindication to IT and/or intraventricular therapy.

For Viral, Bacterial, or Fungal Meningitis

Dexamethasone-Related Toxicities 
8.4.3.4.1 
For Hypertension 
Dose should not be reduced. Sodium restriction and antihypertensives should be employed in an 
effort to control hypertension. Avoid calcium channel blockers due to their potential 
prohemorrhagic effect. 
8.4.3.4.2 
For Hyperglycemia 
Dose should not be reduced for hyperglycemia. Rather, insulin therapy should be employed to 
control the blood glucose level.

For Osteonecrosis 
Do not modify corticosteroid therapy for osteonecrosis (NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 term: 
avascular necrosis). 
8.4.3.4.5 
For Varicella 
Steroids should be held during active infection unless being taken as per protocol therapy 
guidelines. Do not hold during incubation period following exposure. 
8.4.3.4.6 
For Severe Infection 
Do not hold or discontinue steroids without serious consideration, as this is a critical period in 
the treatment of ALL. 
8.4.3.4.7 
For Severe Psychosis 
Dexamethasone dose may be reduced by 50% for severe psychosis. If symptoms persist, switch 
to prednisone. 
8.4.3.5 
Vincristine-Related Toxicities 
In this protocol, it may be difficult to determine if peripheral neuropathy is due to vincristine or 
ponatinib. Both agents can cause peripheral neuropathy, and there is some overlap in their 
presentation. Ponatinib is commonly associated with painful sensory peripheral neuropathy. 
Vincristine neuropathy, in contrast, is commonly associated with motor or mixed neuropathy, 
including distal extremity weakness. 
8.4.3.5.1 
For Severe Neuropathic Pain (Grade 3 or Greater) 
Please use “Balis” Scale for grading neuropathy (see Section 8.4.2.1.1). 
Hold dose(s). When symptoms subside, resume at 50% previous calculated vincristine dose 
(maximum dose: 1 mg), then escalate to full dose as tolerated. Note: Neuropathic pain can be not 
only severe but also difficult to treat. However, because vincristine is an important component of 
curative therapy and most neuropathies are ultimately reversible, vincristine therapy may be 
given at full dose at investigator’s discretion. Severe peripheral neuropathies, with or without a 
family history, might suggest the need for a molecular diagnostic evaluation to rule out 
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), type 1A or hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure 
palsies. Drugs such as gabapentin may be of value.

For Foot Drop or Paresis 
Should be ≥Grade 3 to consider holding or decreasing dose. These toxicities are largely 
reversible but over months to years. Accordingly, holding doses of vincristine and/or lowering 
the dose may not result in rapid resolution of symptoms and may compromise cure. See above 
for comment on CMT. Physical therapy may be beneficial to maintain range of motion and 
provide ankle foot orthosis and other forms of support. Drugs such as gabapentin may be of 
value.

Etoposide (VP-16) 
8.4.3.6.1 
For Allergic Reaction 
Premedicate with diphenhydramine (1-2 mg/kg slow IV push, maximum dose is 50 mg). If 
symptoms persist, add hydrocortisone 100-300 mg/m2. Continue to use premedication before 
etoposide in future. Also consider substituting an equimolar amount of etoposide phosphate, in 
the face of significant allergy and/or hypotension. Etoposide phosphate is a water-soluble 
prodrug that does not contain polysorbate 80 and PEG, the solubilizing agent in etoposide that 
may induce allergic reactions and hypotension. Etoposide phosphate is rapidly converted to 
etoposide in vivo and provides total drug exposure that is statistically indistinguishable from that 
measured for etoposide at equimolar doses. 
8.4.3.6.2 
For Hypotension 
If diastolic or systolic blood pressure falls 20 mm Hg during infusion, reduce infusion rate by 
50%. Start a simultaneous infusion of normal saline (NS) 10 mL/kg if blood pressure fails to 
recover or falls further. Stop infusion if blood pressure does not recover, continue NS. If the 
patient has had any episode of hypotension, prehydrate with 0.9% sodium chloride at 10 mL/kg/h 
for 2 hours prior to any subsequent infusion. 
8.4.3.6.3 
For Renal Insufficiency 
If renal function decreases, adjust etoposide as follows: creatinine clearance (CrCl) 
10-50 mL/min/1.73 m2, decrease dose by 25%; if CrCl <10 mL/min/1.73 m2, decrease dose by 
50%. 
8.4.3.6.4 
For Hyperbilirubinemia 
If direct bilirubin is >2 mg/dL, decrease dose by 50%. If direct bilirubin is >5 mg/dL, hold 
etoposide.

Intermediate-Dose Methotrexate Infusion Guidelines and Dose Modifications for 
Toxicity 
When IT therapy and intermediate-dose methotrexate are scheduled for the same day, it is 
strongly recommended to deliver the IT therapy within 6 hours of beginning of the IV 
methotrexate infusion (hour -6 to +6, with 0 being the start of the methotrexate bolus). 
Hold trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, 
penicillins, proton pump inhibitors or aspirin-containing medications on the day of intermediate-
dose methotrexate infusion and for at least 72 hours after the start of the intermediate-dose 
methotrexate infusion and until the methotrexate level is less than 0.5 μM for intermediate-dose 
methotrexate. In the presence of delayed clearance continue to hold these medications until 
methotrexate level is less than 0.1 μM. 
Recommended prehydration: to start at least 6 hours prior to commencement of IV 
methotrexate. Fluid: 5% dextrose in water 1/4 NS with 30 to 50 mEq NaHCO3/L at

125 mL/m2/hour. Ringers lactate may be used as the initial fluid if a bicarbonate-containing 
solution is unavailable. Adjust fluid volume and sodium bicarbonate to maintain urine specific 
gravity ≤1.010 and pH between 7 and 8. A bicarbonate bolus (25 mEq/m2 over 15 min) may be 
given to raise the urine pH relatively quickly; a NS bolus may also be helpful in facilitating 
hydration. 
Hour 0: Methotrexate 100 mg/m2 IV infused over 30 minutes. This is followed, immediately, by 
methotrexate 900 mg/m2 given by continuous IV infusion over 35.5 hours. Be certain that the 
intermediate-dose methotrexate infusion is completed in the 36-hour period. Note, even if the 
infusion is not complete at this time point, it must be stopped. 
Recommended posthydration: Continue hydration using 5% dextrose in water 1/4 NS with 
30-50 mEq NaHCO3/L at 125 mL/m2/hour (3 L/m2/day) throughout intermediate-dose 
methotrexate infusion until the last dose of leucovorin has been given. In patients with delayed 
methotrexate clearance, continue hydration until the plasma methotrexate concentration is below 
0.1 μM. 
Leucovorin rescue: 15 mg/m2 PO/IV at 48 and 54 hours after the start of the methotrexate 
infusion. If 48-hour methotrexate level is ≤0.5 μM, then only 2 doses of leucovorin are 
administered (at 48 and 54 hours). If methotrexate level at 48 hours is >0.5 μM, then continue 
hydration and leucovorin rescue at 15 mg/m2/dose PO/IV every 6 hours until methotrexate levels 
are <0.1 μM. 
Hour 48: Check plasma methotrexate level at 48 hours after start of the methotrexate infusion. If 
the level is ≤0.5 μM, then do not give more than 2 doses of leucovorin (48 and 54 hours). If 
methotrexate level at 48 hours is >0.5 μM, then continue hydration and leucovorin rescue at 
15 mg/m2/dose PO/IV every 6 hours until methotrexate levels are <0.1 μM. 
For methotrexate levels that exceed these expected values, modify the rescue regimen as noted 
below and increase hydration to 200 mL/m2/h. Monitor urine pH to assure a value ≥7.0 and 
monitor urine output to determine if volume is ≥80% of the fluid intake, measured every 4 hours. 
If serum creatinine rises significantly, at any time point (>100% in 24 hours), assure appropriate 
urine pH and urine volume as above and consider glucarpidase. If urine output fails to continue 
at 80% of the fluid intake, consider furosemide or acetazolamide. Regardless of urine output, 
also consider glucarpidase (carboxypeptidase G2) (Table 8.k).

8.4.3.7.1 
For Nephrotoxicity 
Postpone course if pretreatment (methotrexate) serum creatinine is >1.5 × baseline or GFR CrCl 
<65 mL/minute/1.73m2. If there is a rising creatinine (>100% in 24 hours) or the 48-hour 
methotrexate level is >10 μ/L consider using glucarpidase. If renal function does not recover, 
omit methotrexate. Do not give intermediate-dose methotrexate to a patient with this degree or 
renal impairment, assuming that prolonged excretion can be managed with glucarpidase. 
NOTE: For patients who have markedly delayed methotrexate clearance secondary to renal 
dysfunction, consider using glucarpidase (carboxypeptidase G2, Voraxaze). To obtain supplies 
of glucarpidase in the US contact the Voraxaze 24-hour Customer Service line at 855-786-7292. 
Additional information can be found at btgplc.com/products/specialty-pharmaceuticals/voraxaze 
regarding product availability through ASD Healthcare, Cardinal, and McKesson. Canadian sites 
should contact McKesson at (877) 384-7425 for further information. Sites in Australia and New 
Zealand should contact Hospira at 1300-046-774 (local) or 
medicalinformationAUS@hospira.com. Patients requiring glucarpidase rescue will remain on 
study. 
Stop leucovorin 2 hours before administering glucarpidase as it is a competitive substrate and 
may compete with methotrexate for glucarpidase binding sites. 
Dose of glucarpidase: 50 units/kg administered by IV bolus over 5 minutes. Reconstitute each 
vial with 1 mL sodium chloride 0.9% (do not further dilute). Each vial contains 1000 units/mL 
(after reconstitution) and round dose up to vial size. No further dose is required. 
Maintaining alkalinization of urine with sodium bicarbonate is essential to maintain urinary 
pH >7. 
It is essential that patients are NOT co-prescribed the following medicines which reduce 
methotrexate excretion: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, ciprofloxacin, 
co-trimoxazole, penicillin, probenecid, omeprazole. 
Two hours after administration of glucarpidase, leucovorin should be administered at a dose of 
250 mg/m2 every 6 hours by IV bolus (maximum rate: 160 mg/min) for up to 48 hours and then

decreased based on plasma methotrexate concentrations to 15 mg/m2 IV or PO every 6 hours 
until the plasma methotrexate concentration is <0.2 μM. 
8.4.3.7.2 
For Liver dysfunction 
Samples for the determination of ALT value must be drawn within 72 hours, PRIOR to a course 
of IV methotrexate. Blood samples for ALT should not be drawn following the start of 
methotrexate infusions as methotrexate causes significant short-term elevation in ALT levels. 
Hold IV methotrexate for direct hyperbilirubinemia of >2.0 mg/dL. 
8.4.3.7.3 
For Mucositis 
For Grade 3-4 mucositis, withhold IV methotrexate until resolved. 
8.4.3.8 
Cyclophosphamide 
8.4.3.8.1 
For Hematuria 
Omit in the presence of macroscopic hematuria. If there is a history of previous significant 
hematuria, hydrate before cyclophosphamide until specific gravity is <1.010 and hydrate at 
125 mL/m2/h for 24 hours after dose. Monitor for adequate urine output as per institution 
guidelines. Give IV mesna at a total dose that is 60% of the cyclophosphamide dose divided to 
3 doses (eg, if the cyclophosphamide dose is 1000 mg/m2, the total mesna dose is 600 mg/m2 or 
200 mg/m2/dose). Give the first mesna dose 15 minutes before or at the same time as the 
cyclophosphamide dose and repeat 4 and 8 hours after the start of cyclophosphamide. This total 
daily dose of mesna can also be administered as IV continuous infusion. The continuous infusion 
should be started 15-30 minutes before or at the same time as cyclophosphamide and finished no 
sooner than 8 hours after the end of cyclophosphamide infusion. 
8.4.3.8.2 
For Renal Dysfunction 
If CrCl or radioisotope GFR is <10 mL/min/1.73m2, reduce dose of cyclophosphamide by 50%. 
Prior to dose adjustment of cyclophosphamide, the CrCl should be repeated with good hydration. 
8.4.4 
Supportive Care 
Best supportive care and treatment will be given as appropriate to each patient (antiemetics, 
antibiotics, transfusions, oxygen therapy, nutritional support, palliative treatment for pain or 
cough, etc.). Patients may experience profound myelosuppression and immune suppression 
during this time. Parents/legal guardians must also be made aware that patients may experience 
very rapid clinical deterioration. This suggests the need for a supportive care network that can 
recognize and respond to sudden changes in a patient’s condition. 
Hospitalization is strongly recommended until the absolute phagocyte count (sum of the 
neutrophils, bands, and monocytes) is rising for 2 successive days, and the patient is afebrile and 
clinically stable. An additional discharge criterion of an ANC of at least 200/μL is also 
suggested.

Aggressive supportive care improves outcome. The following guidelines are intended to give 
general health direction for optimal patient care and to encourage uniformity in the treatment of 
this patient population. Notify the study clinician (or designee) of any unexpected or unusually 
severe complications. 
8.4.4.1 
Concurrent Therapy 
8.4.4.1.1 
Chemotherapy or Investigational Therapy 
Patients must not receive any non-protocol chemotherapy, investigational therapy, or immune 
modulating agents. 
8.4.4.1.2 
Cranial Irradiation for Central Nervous System Disease 
Cranial irradiation for CNS disease is NOT allowed during protocol therapy. 
8.4.4.1.3 
Radiotherapy to Chloroma 
Radiotherapy for chloroma is NOT allowed. 
8.4.4.1.4 
Supportive Care 
Appropriate antibiotics, blood products, antiemetics, fluids, electrolytes, and general supportive 
care are to be used as necessary. 
8.4.4.1.5 
Hydroxyurea 
Patients may have received hydroxyurea to keep WBC count below 50,000/μL prior to beginning 
protocol therapy, but hydroxyurea must be discontinued 24 hours prior to starting systemic 
protocol therapy. 
8.4.4.1.6 
Cardiac Protectants 
Patients can receive cardiac protectants such as dexrazoxane while treated on this protocol per 
treating physician’s decision. 
8.4.4.1.7 
Alternative Medication 
Use of alternative medications (eg, herbal or botanical for anticancer purposes) is not permitted 
during the entire study period. 
8.4.4.2 
Blood Products 
Investigators should follow institutional guidelines regarding the administration of blood 
products.

8.4.4.3 
Infection Control 
8.4.4.3.1 
Pneumocystis Prophylaxis 
All patients are to receive prophylaxis with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole for pneumocystis for 
2 sequential days each week at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg/dose trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 
(maximum dose of 160 mg) twice daily (BID) or according to institutional policy, unless they 
have a documented sulfa allergy. Patients with sulfa allergy should receive dapsone 2 mg/kg PO 
QD with a maximum dose of 100 mg/day, or monthly pentamidine (IV or aerosolized). 
Pneumocystis prophylaxis should be continued throughout the entire study period. 
8.4.4.3.2 
Bacterial, Fungal, and Viral Prophylaxis 
Secondary to the high risk of serious invasive bacterial and fungal infection in patients with 
relapsed ALL, prophylaxis for bacterial and fungal infections is MANDATED on this protocol. 
Patients should receive levofloxacin at a dose based on each institution’s formulary (but as a 
recommendation, levofloxacin could be dosed at 10 mg/kg/dose [maximum 750 mg/dose] IV or 
PO BID if <5 years old and at 10 mg/kg/dose [maximum 750 mg/dose] IV or PO QD if ≥5 years 
old). 
All patients MUST receive antifungal prophylaxis during each course of therapy. Antifungal 
prophylaxis may be given per each institution’s standards. It is strongly encouraged to use a drug 
with antimold activity such as caspofungin or micafungin. The doses used should be in the 
treatment range more so than prophylactic as that is when colonization and infection may occur 
in patients at high risk for fungal infection. 
For patients with a history of documented or suspected herpes simplex virus or varicella zoster 
virus infection, it is recommended for them to receive prophylactic acyclovir at 750 mg/m2/day 
divided BID. 
It is strongly recommended that patients have quantitative immunoglobulins checked per 
institutional policy. Those with quantitative immunoglobulin G level below the normal range for 
age should receive IV immunoglobulin monthly. 
Bacterial, fungal, and viral prophylaxis should be initiated on Day 8 of reinduction and continued 
at least until the post-nadir ANC is >500/µL. 
8.4.4.3.3 
Fever and Neutropenia 
All patients with a fever >38.5°C on a single occasion, or >38°C on 2 occasions within 12 hours, 
and an ANC <500/µL are to be hospitalized and treated immediately with IV broad-spectrum 
antibiotics after obtaining appropriate cultures. The specific choice of antibiotics to be used in 
empiric treatment of febrile neutropenia is dependent on each institution’s experience regarding 
the type of infecting organisms, and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns. Duration of therapy 
should be determined by site of infection, culture results, and response to treatment. Antifungal 
treatment is to be considered for the persistence of fever, or emergence of a new fever in 
neutropenic patients after 3 days of broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage. Radiographic imaging

surveillance for sites of infection should also be performed as clinically indicated. When severe 
mucositis or a sepsis syndrome is present in patients with febrile neutropenia, or a patient has a 
history of prior alpha hemolytic sepsis, consider inclusion of vancomycin in the empiric 
antibiotic regimen. 
8.4.4.3.4 
Empiric Management of Pulmonary Infiltrates 
Pulmonary infiltrates should be evaluated in the context of the patient’s clinical and laboratory 
profile as well as institutional infection patterns. If the patient is not neutropenic, and the 
pulmonary lesions on CT scan are not particularly suggestive of a fungal infection (Aspergillus, 
mucor), consider using broad-spectrum antibiotics. If the patient develops progressively 
worsening clinical or laboratory features, or if, the pulmonary lesions on CT scan are suggestive 
of a fungal infection (Aspergillus, mucor), then more aggressive diagnostic measures should be 
undertaken. Pulmonary infiltrates may be evaluated with bronchoscopy and biopsy, lavage, or 
open lung biopsy. If a procedure cannot be tolerated, and/or if there is high clinical suspicion 
consider beginning empiric treatment with amphotericin B given the high likelihood of fungal 
disease. It is advisable to seek an infectious disease consult under these circumstances. Empiric 
coverage may include treatment of gram-negative and positive bacteria, Legionella 
(erythromycin), Pneumocystis (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole), and fungi (amphotericin) 
pending culture results. 
If fungal pulmonary disease is documented, surveillance radiographic imaging studies of the 
sinuses, abdomen/pelvis are indicated. Surgical excision of pulmonary lesions should be 
considered at the discretion of the treating physician. Treatment of fungal infections with 
amphotericin B and/or other antifungal agents will be at the discretion of the treating physician. 
8.4.4.3.5 
Management of Mucositis/Perirectal Cellulitis 
Mucositis should be managed with IV hydration and hyperalimentation (if indicated), effective 
analgesia, broad-spectrum gram-positive and gram-negative antibiotic therapy, and empiric 
antiviral and antifungal therapy, as indicated. Management of perirectal cellulitis should include 
broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy with dual gram-negative coverage as well as anaerobic 
coverage (ie, ceftazidime + aminoglycoside + metronidazole; or piperacillin-tazobactam + 
aminoglycoside), sitz baths, a strong barrier technique, and effective analgesia. 
8.4.4.3.6 
Use of Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor 
The routine use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor or other hematopoietic growth factors 
are not generally recommended but may be used at the discretion of the investigator in situations 
such as serious infection with neutropenia. 
8.4.4.4 
Safety Monitoring for Cardiac Toxicity 
Elevation of cardiac biomarkers in the first 3 months of anthracycline therapy suggests possible 
pathological left ventricular remodeling and the need for long-term follow-up. Dexrazoxane 
therapy has been associated with lower elevation of these biomarkers (Lipshultz et al. 2012).

Additionally, cardiotoxicity has been observed with ponatinib in adult studies but the effects in 
pediatric population is not known. Please refer to section 8.4.2.2 for guidance on ponatinib dose 
modifications for these events. 
Cardiac function and biomarkers will be followed in all patients enrolled on study, according to 
the following schedule: 
1. Biomarkers of cardiotoxicity 
a) Cardiac troponin T or I. 
b) NT-proBNP. 
Both will be assessed prior to first dose of ponatinib and daunorubicin and 2 weeks, 1 month, 
2 months, and 3 months from the second daunorubicin dose. 
2. Cardiac function 
ECHO or MUGA will be performed in the following schedule: 
a) Baseline - prior to initiating therapy. 
b) At the end of reinduction block. 
c) At the end of consolidation block. 
d) At EOT1. 
e) Yearly until end of study follow-up. 
8.5 
Excluded Concomitant Medications and Procedures 
Systemic treatment with any of the following drug-metabolizing enzyme inhibitors or inducers 
should be avoided during the study: 
• Strong CYP3A inhibitors: boceprevir, clarithromycin, cobicistat, conivaptan, grapefruit-
containing products including grapefruit juice, idelalisib, indinavir, itraconazole, 
ketoconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, posaconazole, ritonavir, saquinavir, telaprevir, 
telithromycin, and voriconazole. 
• Strong CYP3A inducers: carbamazepine, enzalutamide, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, 
primidone, rifampin, rifapentine, rifabutin, and St. John’s wort. 
Because the above lists are not exhaustive, the investigator should consult the package insert for 
any medication under consideration for use to assess if it is a strong CYP3A inhibitor or strong 
CYP3A inducer. 
Medications that prolong the QT interval but are not associated with a known risk of torsades de 
pointes should be avoided but are not prohibited. If such medications are necessary and used 
while a patient is on study, additional ECG monitoring should be performed as clinically 
indicated. Exception: If an alternative to the antiemetic agent ondansetron is not feasible and the 
investigator considers this the only suitable medication to manage symptoms, then additional

ECG monitoring should be performed and documented. Discuss with the medical monitor a 
possibility of study drug discontinuation if any possible cardiac changes are noted. 
The investigator should refer to the most current package insert for the agents in the 
chemotherapy backbone for their drug-drug interaction information (Table 8.b and Table 8.c). 
The following concurrent medications and treatments are also prohibited: 
• Other anticancer therapies. 
• Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, another investigational agent, or immunotherapy. 
• Herbal preparations or related over-the-counter preparations containing herbal ingredients. 
• All live vaccines during the study treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last 
dose of the study treatment regimen. 
8.6 
Permitted Concomitant Medications and Procedures 
All treatments/therapies received within 30 days before the first dose of study drug will be 
recorded as prior treatments. 
All concomitant medications administered from the time of informed consent signature through 
the EOT1 visit (or EOT2 visit, for patients who receive optional ponatinib continuation therapy) 
(either the last dose of ponatinib or the investigator/patient decision to discontinue, whichever 
occurs later) are to be reported on the appropriate eCRF for each patient. 
All routine and appropriate supportive care (including blood products, and hematopoietic growth 
factors) will be allowed during this study, as clinically indicated, and in accordance with 
standard-of-care practices. Clinical judgment should be exercised in the treatment of any AE 
experienced by an individual patient. 
Information on all concomitant medications, administered blood products, and interventions 
occurring during the study must be recorded on each patient’s eCRF. Among other treatments for 
concurrent illnesses, the following therapies are allowed: 
• Medical or surgical treatment necessary for the patient’s well-being. 
• Where appropriate, treatment with hematopoietic growth factors. 
• Antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants are permitted with caution in patients who may be at 
risk of bleeding events. 
8.7 
Precautions and Restrictions 
To participate in this study, female and male patients must qualify for the study per the inclusion 
and exclusion criteria (Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, respectively).

is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause) participating in this 
study should avoid becoming pregnant, and male patients should avoid impregnating a female 
partner. Before starting treatment, male patients considering reproduction should be advised to 
seek counseling on sperm storage, and female patients considering pregnancy should be advised 
to seek counseling on egg storage. Nonsterilized female patients of reproductive age group and 
male patients should use effective methods of contraception through defined periods during and 
after study treatment. Lactating females should be advised not to breast feed. All patients must 
meet the inclusion criteria for female and male patients as outlined in Section 7.1. 
Given the preclinical findings of phototoxicity in rats (see current version of the investigator’s 
brochure), particularly with regard to eye sensitivity, it is recommended that patients minimize 
exposure to direct sunlight and take precautions, such as using sunscreen, sunglasses with 100% 
UV protection, or wearing a broad-brimmed hat along with the sunglasses, when outdoors. 
Smoking/e-cigarettes/vaping are strongly discouraged due to unknown effects of smoking on 
cardiovascular disease. 
8.8 
Management of Clinical Events 
Although the study excludes patients with active hepatitis B at the time of screening, ponatinib 
and chemotherapeutic agents have been associated with reactivation of hepatitis B. It is 
recommended to consult an expert in liver disease before initiating treatment of patients with 
evidence of prior hepatitis B infection, and monitor these patients for clinical and laboratory 
signs of hepatitis B virus reactivation or hepatitis during study drug treatment and for several 
months following treatment discontinuation. 
Patients with ALL are at increased risk of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) with cytotoxic/cytolytic 
therapy. In patients with ALL, those with a high tumor burden such as WBC count ≥100,000/µL 
or diffuse organ involvement are considered high risk. Pre-existing uremia or hyperuricemia, 
decreased urinary flow or acidic urine, dehydration, oliguria, anuria, and renal insufficiency or 
renal failure may increase the risk of TLS. Consequences of TLS include hyperphosphatemia, 
hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and uremia. Clinical manifestations of TLS may include nausea, 
vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy, edema, fluid overload, hematuria, CHF, cardiac 
dysrhythmias, seizures, muscle cramps, tetany, syncope, and possible sudden death. If clinically 
presented, TLS should be managed according to local practice and guidelines, including 
prophylaxis where indicated. 
Refer to the current local ponatinib package insert for details on management of patients who 
have or who develop the following conditions: AOEs, VTEs, hypertension, neuropathy, 
hepatotoxicity, CHF or left ventricular dysfunction, serious ocular toxicities, pancreatitis or 
lipase/amylase elevations, ocular toxicity, bleeding events, fluid retention/edema, cardiac 
arrhythmias, myelosuppression, TLS, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, 
compromised wound healing, or gastrointestinal perforation. 
For all other therapies to be administered per this protocol, investigators should refer to the 
current local package insert for specific drugs for management of clinical events. See also

Description of Investigational Agents 
The tablet formulation of the ponatinib investigational drug product is supplied as white, oval or 
round, film-coated tablets for oral administration. Each tablet contains 10, 15, or 30 mg of active 
ingredient. Other ingredients are typical pharmaceutical excipients: lactose monohydrate, 
microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium 
stearate, and a tablet coating comprised of PEG, talc, polyvinyl alcohol, and titanium dioxide. 
An AAF of ponatinib (minitab capsules) was developed for pediatric patients unable to swallow 
solid oral dosage forms and for patients requiring doses less than 10 mg. Ponatinib minitab size 2 
opaque white hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsules are filled with 2-mm, round, 
film-coated mini-tablets. The formulation of the core mini-tablets contains ponatinib HCl, 
lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, colloidal silicon 
dioxide, and magnesium stearate. The 5 and 2.5 mg strengths capsules contain 10 and 5 minitabs 
(0.5 mg), respectively. These mini-tablets are coated with an aqueous film coating composed of 
PEG, talc, polyvinyl alcohol, and titanium dioxide. The coated mini-tablets are then encapsulated 
in a capsule containing HPMC and titanium dioxide. 
8.11 
Preparation, Reconstitution, and Dispensation 
Ponatinib tablets should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed or dissolved 
in liquid (Iclusig (ponatinib) Tablets for Oral Use 2022). 
Ponatinib minitab capsules should be either swallowed whole with water, or the capsule contents

Storage, Handling, and Accountability 
8.13.1 
Storage 
All investigational supplies are to be kept in a secure area with controlled access. 
Ponatinib should be stored as described on the study drug labels. 
The chemotherapy backbone should be stored and handled as described in the study/pharmacy 
manual or, if locally sourced, the most current drug label (eg, US Package Insert, EU Summary 
of Product Characteristics), as applicable. 
8.13.2 
Handling and Accountability 
The study pharmacist or designee at the investigative site will be responsible for handling and 
dispensing study drug and completing associated documentary paperwork. Ponatinib supplies are 
shipped to the investigative site at appropriate intervals, depending on patient accrual. Supply 
shipping will be managed by interactive response technology (IRT). The site must use either an 
appropriate dispensing log/accountability form provided by the sponsor or an acceptable 
substitute. Each time study medication is dispensed for a patient, the following information is 
recommended to be recorded: the patient’s study number, tablet/minitab capsule strength, the 
number of tablets/minitab capsules dispensed (with the corresponding lot number), and the 
initials of the person dispensing the drug. These logs are to be maintained by the study 
pharmacist in the pharmacy throughout the duration of the study (or as per local legal 
requirements), and will be periodically verified by a representative of the sponsor. The 
investigator is responsible for ensuring that the patient diary and study drug provided to the 
patient and returned from the patient are accounted for and noted in source documentation.

Disposition of Used and Unused Study Drug 
No other use of ponatinib in this study is authorized by the sponsor. The principal investigator or 
designee will be responsible for the appropriate handling and disposition of residual study drug. 
During the trial and at termination, patients must return all unused study drug supplies and the 
return of these unused study drug supplies must be recorded. Returned supplies must not be 
redispensed. 
Periodically throughout and at the conclusion of the study, a representative of the sponsor will 
conduct an inventory of unused study drug. At the completion of the trial, a final study drug 
accountability review will be conducted, and any discrepancies must be investigated. All used 
and unused bottles or packs of study drug must be destroyed in an appropriate manner according 
to the standard practice at each study site (ie, destroyed at the site or returned to the local 
distribution center). Destruction of such supplies will be documented, and a representative of the 
sponsor will verify disposition records.

Study Procedures 
Refer to the SOEs (Appendix A, Table 1 and Table 2) for timing of assessments. Additional 
details are provided as necessary in the sections that follow and in the SOE footnotes. 
Tests and procedures should be performed on schedule, but occasional changes may be allowed 
for holidays, vacation, and other administrative reasons. If the study schedule is shifted, both 
assessments and dosing must be shifted to ensure collection of assessment is completed before 
dosing. 
All possible measures should be taken to reduce pain and discomfort (eg, use of local anesthesia 
before venipunctures, noninvasive measure should be preferred and timing coordinated with 
daily activities as far as possible). Physical pain and discomfort intensity must be assessed and 
regularly monitored and treated according to local appropriate guidance (eg, ethical 
considerations for clinical studies on medicinal products conducted with minors), particularly in 
neonates and children who cannot express it verbally. In order to minimize pain, discomfort, and 
fear, facilities should be appropriate to childcare, and the personnel should be trained to look 
after children and supervised by experienced health care professionals. The investigative site’s 
staff should be trained to communicate with both the parents or legal guardian and the children. 
The degree of burden and risk threshold will be constantly monitored by the investigator. 
9.3.1 
Screening Period Procedures 
Screening tests and procedures are used to establish eligibility of the patient for the study. If any 
given procedure or laboratory test is repeated before enrollment, patients must continue to 
maintain laboratory values within eligibility parameters. Any patient who is rescreened after 
screen failure must, in addition to the failed test, repeat only those screening tests that have fallen 
outside the specified screening period, as outlined in the SOE. See the SOE in Appendix A, 
Table 1 for all screening procedures. 
For patients diagnosed with Ph-like ALL the site must provide the methodology used and the 
accredited laboratory performing the test for diagnosis (eg, RNA sequencing, fluorescence in situ 
hybridization [FISH]) and document in the eCRF.  
Patients who discontinued from screening or run-in period due to COVID-19–related factors but 
were otherwise qualified to participate in the study may be rescreened if the sponsor’s medical 
monitor agrees. 
9.3.2 
Informed Consent/Assent 
Each patient or patient’s parent or legal guardian must provide written informed consent/assent 
before any study-required procedures are conducted, unless those procedures are performed as 
part of the patient’s standard care. 
During the consent process, the person obtaining consent must inform the patient and, if 
applicable, the patient’s parent or legal guardian of all elements of informed consent. Adequate 
time must be allowed for questions and for the patient to make a voluntary decision.

Demographics and Medical/Surgical History 
During the screening period, demographic data and a complete medical history will be compiled 
for each patient. The history will emphasize the background and progress of the patient’s 
malignancy and include a description of prior therapies for it. In addition, concomitant 
medications will be recorded as specified in Section 9.3.10. 
9.3.4 
Physical Examination and Vital Signs 
A complete physical examination (including height and weight) will be completed as specified in 
the SOEs (Appendix A, Table 1 and Table 2). 
Sites should calculate body surface area (BSA) from the weight and height measured at baseline 
and prior to each block of therapy as specified in the SOEs. 
Vital sign measurements will include systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory 
rate, and body temperature. Vital sign measurements will be assessed as specified in the SOEs. 
9.3.5 
Growth and Development 
Growth will be assessed using growth charts. Developments will be assessed with Tanner 
staging. Growth and development will be assessed as indicated in the SOEs (Appendix A, 
Table 1 and Table 2). 
9.3.6 
Performance Status 
The Karnofsky performance status scale (patients ≥16 years of age) or Lansky Play Scale 
performance status (patients <16 years of age) should be evaluated during each complete 
physical examination, as specified in the SOEs (Appendix A, Table 1 and Table 2). These 
performance score scales are available in Appendix D (Karnofsky and Burchenal 1949; Lansky 
et al. 1987). Patients must have a Karnofsky or Lansky Play Scale performance status ≥50% to 
be eligible for this study. Additional details on assessing performance status are provided in the 
site operations manual. 
9.3.7 
Pregnancy Test 
The screening pregnancy test must be a serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin test and must 
be performed as specified in the SOE (Appendix A, Table 1). Monthly pregnancy testing (urine 
or serum) will be performed according to local standard of care while patient is on ponatinib 
continuation therapy (Appendix A, Table 2). Additional pregnancy testing may be performed at 
the discretion of the investigator, upon request of an IEC/IRB, or if required by local regulations.

12-Lead Electrocardiogram 
All ECGs must be 12-lead ECGs, performed as specified in the SOEs (Appendix A, Table 1 and 
Table 2 ). If medications known to prolong the QTcF interval are used while a patient is on 
study, then additional ECG monitoring should be performed as clinically indicated. 
If the timing of a blood draw coincides with the timing of an ECG, the ECG should be performed 
first, followed by the blood draw. 
9.3.8.2 
Echocardiogram or Multigated Acquisition Scan 
An ECHO or MUGA for assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction must be performed as 
specified in the SOEs (Appendix A, Table 1 and Table 2). 
9.3.9 
Ophthalmological Examination 
An ophthalmological examination will be performed to screen for corneal and retinal vascular 
pathology at the time points outlined in the SOE (Appendix A, Table 1). 
9.3.10 
Concomitant Medications and Procedures 
All relevant medications/therapies and therapeutic procedures used/completed by the patient will 
be recorded as prior medication in the eCRF. All medications/therapies and therapeutic 
procedures used/completed by the patients from the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) 
until the EOT1 visit (or the EOT2 visit, for patients who receive optional ponatinib continuation 
therapy) will be recorded in the eCRF as concomitant medications, as specified in the SOEs 
(Appendix A, Table 1 and Table 2). See Section 8.5 and Section 8.6 for a list of medications and 
therapies that are prohibited and/or allowed during the study. 
9.3.11 
Adverse Events 
Monitoring of AEs will be conducted throughout the study, starting on the date of signed ICF, 
and continuing until the EOT1 visit (or the EOT2 visit, for patients who receive optional 
ponatinib continuation therapy) as specified in the SOE (Appendix A, Table 1 and Table 2). 
Monitoring of SAEs will be conducted throughout the study, starting on the date of signed ICF, 
and continuing through 30 days after administration of the last dose of ponatinib.  
Refer to Section 10.0 for details regarding definitions, documentation, and reporting of AEs and 
SAEs. 
It is expected that new and updated AEs and concomitant medications will be reported within the 
treatment period. Ongoing AEs thought to be study drug–related and all ongoing SAEs should be 
followed at least every 4 weeks until they resolve to baseline (or to NCI CTCAE Version 5.0, 
Grade ≤1), stabilize, or are considered to be chronic/irreversible.

Disease Assessment 
9.3.14.1 
Evaluation of CR 
BM samples (aspirate and/or biopsy) and complete blood cell count will be needed to assess CR 
status at the time points indicated in the SOE (Appendix A, Table 1). CR status will be 
confirmed by the investigator upon review of blasts in the BM morphology report from the local 
laboratory, extramedullary disease, neutrophil, and platelet recovery as well as blasts in 
peripheral blood, if applicable. 
After EOT1, complete blood cell count and BM evaluation for CR assessment may be performed 
at other times when clinically indicated. Results from the local laboratory testing of any BM 
sample (aspirate and/or biopsy), whether scheduled or unscheduled, must be recorded in the 
patient’s eCRF. 
If a BM sample (aspirate and/or biopsy) is used for the diagnosis of recurrence, a complete blood 
cell count should also be performed. If relapse from CR is confirmed, results of the assessments 
used to confirm the relapse, including peripheral blood, BM, CSF, or radiologic assessment, and 
their dates must be provided in the electronic data capture (EDC). If relapse from CR is 
confirmed, a peripheral blood sample must be collected for molecular mutation analysis. 
9.3.14.2 
Cerebrospinal Fluid 
CSF will be needed to assess CR status at the time points indicated in the SOEs (Appendix A, 
Table 1 and Table 2). CR status will be assessed by CSF for cell count and cytospin cytology. 
9.3.15 
Biomarkers and Pharmacokinetic Measurements 
Table 9.a includes information on the primary specimens to be collected for this study. Blood, 
BM, and plasma samples will be collected at the time points detailed in Appendix A, Table 1. 
Details on sample handling, storage, shipment, and analysis are provided in the laboratory 
manual. 
MRD will be evaluated once CR assessment is performed and only for patients with CR status 
reported by the investigator by the end of the consolidation block.

a For initial screening, if a BM aspirate cannot be obtained, peripheral blood may be substituted to send for MRD 
probe development as long as there are at least 1000 circulating blasts/μL (ie, a WBC count of 10,000/μL with 
10% blasts or a WBC count of 5000/μL with 20% blasts). 
 
9.3.15.1 
Bone Marrow Samples for MRD Assessment 
MRD will be evaluated (only in patients with Ph+ ALL and only those who achieve CR by end 
of consolidation as reported by the investigator) as specified in the SOE (Appendix A, Table 1). 
The optimal sample for MRD assessment is the first pull or early pull of the BM aspirate. BM 
aspirate samples for MRD evaluation will be sent to a central laboratory. 
For initial screening, if a BM aspirate cannot be obtained, peripheral blood may be substituted to 
send for MRD probe development as long as there are at least 1000 circulating blasts/μL (ie, a 
WBC count of 10,000/μL with 10% blasts or a WBC count of 5000/μL with 20% blasts). 
For MRD assessment, BM evaluation may be performed at other times when clinically indicated. 
Results from the local laboratory testing of any BM aspirate, whether scheduled or unscheduled, 
must be recorded in the patient’s eCRF. 
9.3.15.2 
Peripheral Blood Samples for Molecular Mutations 
Peripheral blood samples will be collected only from Ph+ ALL patients as specified in the SOEs 
(Appendix A, Table 1 and Table 2). Baseline samples will be tested immediately to confirm 
T315I mutation for patients requiring enrollment eligibility confirmation and communicated to 
the investigator. All other enrolled patients will have baseline samples tested to identify T315I

exploratory analysis and will not be communicated to the investigator. Other samples both prior 
and following ponatinib treatment will be tested to characterize biomarkers of sensitivity and 
resistance to ponatinib-containing therapy (eg, BCR-ABL1, IKZF1, CDKN2A/2B) (Table 9.a). 
Peripheral blood samples for molecular mutations analysis will be sent to a central laboratory. 
9.3.15.3 
PK Measurements 
Blood samples for the measurement of plasma concentrations of ponatinib will be collected from 
all patients at multiple time points as specified in Appendix A, Table 3 and Table 4. These data 
will be used to characterize the PK of ponatinib. A sparser sampling scheme will be used for 
patients weighing <20 kg because of potential blood volume loss limitations. 
The exact date and time of each PK sample collection should be recorded in the eCRF. In 
addition, the exact date and time of dosing for the 2 preceding doses of ponatinib before all PK 
sample collections, and on the day of PK sample collection, should be recorded (at a minimum) 
in the eCRF. 
Details regarding the preparation, handling, and shipping of the PK samples are provided in the 
site operations manual. 
9.3.16 
Palatability and Acceptability of Ponatinib Age-Appropriate Formulation 
Patient acceptance of medication (acceptability) can be defined as the overall ability of the 
patient to use the medicine as intended. Acceptability of an oral medication is an important 
consideration in patients, particularly children, since it has a significant impact on patient 
compliance (Mistry et al. 2017; Van Riet-Nales et al. 2017). Palatability tests have been 
performed for several pediatric medications using different measurement scales (Davies and 
Tuleu 2008). This study will incorporate a questionnaire with questions related to the taste and 
smell using a 5-point facial hedonic scale. This scale allows for indication of preference by 
pointing at a pictorial scale of facial expressions that has been commonly used in palatability 
studies (Davies and Tuleu 2008; Mulla et al. 2016). 
After each dose of ponatinib on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 during reinduction, a questionnaire will be 
provided to the patient and parent/legal guardian. At the investigator’s/designee’s discretion, if 
the patient is too young to complete the survey, only the parent/legal guardian will be surveyed. 
In each case, a nurse or research staff member will record the verbal responses to the questions. 
When facial hedonic scale is used, the child or parent/legal guardian will be asked to indicate 
their preference by circling the pictorial scale of facial expression. The palatability study 
questionnaire is provided in Appendix E. 
9.3.17 
Follow-up Assessments 
All patients will be followed for survival, recurrence, progression, growth and development, and 
subsequent treatments for at least 3 years from EOT1. Any disease assessments completed as 
clinically indicated need to be recorded in the EDC as indicated in Section 9.3.14.

Patients will be evaluated for alternative therapy, safety, and survival after EOT1 at 6 months, 
1 year, 18 months, 2 years, and every year thereafter for a total of at least 3 years after EOT1. 
If a patient refuses to return to the clinic for scheduled long-term follow-up study visits, 
information can be collected via telephone contact reports at the time of the regularly scheduled 
study visits; however, this is not preferred. If any concerns relating to study treatment are 
identified by the investigator during this telephone consultation with the patient, the investigator 
should request that the patient attend an in-person clinic visit to complete the assessments 
outlined in the SOEs (Appendix A, Table 1 and Table 2) for the long-term follow-up visits, or 
alternatively, have the patient visit their personal physician/other medical care provider for 
appropriate follow-up. Any results generated outside of the investigative site must be obtained by 
the investigator and recorded in the eCRF. 
Efforts will be made to avoid any patient being lost to follow-up during the conduct of the study. 
Before patients are considered lost to follow-up, a minimum of 2 documented telephone contact 
attempts must be made, and 1 certified letter must be sent within 6 weeks of the most recent 
planned study visit in an effort to contact patients. 
If a patient has been documented as lost to follow-up or if the site staff becomes aware of a 
patient’s death between scheduled visits, then the date of death must also be obtained and 
recorded in the eCRF. 
9.3.18 
Changes to Study Procedures Due to COVID-19 Public Health Emergency 
The following information provides guidance regarding changes to the study procedures that 
could be implemented for patients or study sites affected by the COVID-19 public health 
emergency. This guidance takes references from the FDA Guidance on Conduct of Clinical 
Trials of Medical Products during COVID-19 Public Health Emergency - Guidance for Industry, 
Investigators, and Institutional Review Boards, March 2020, updated 02 July 2020, and the EMA 
Guidance on the Management of Clinical Trials During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Version 3 
(28 April 2020). 
As the COVID-19 pandemic may peak in different regions at different times and restrictions 
implemented by local laws and recommendations may vary, any decision on procedural changes 
should be made on a case-by-case basis by the principal investigator in consultation with the 
study team and the medical team as needed, while maintaining patient safety and confidentiality 
as the priority. 
Procedural changes due to COVID-19 public health emergency may include the following: 
• Informed consent procedure: If necessary, informed consent from a potential or current 
patient may be obtained via electronic informed consent (eIC) capabilities, or an electronic 
face-to-face consent interview when these patients are unable to travel to the site.  
• All patient visits from screening/baseline through to and including the EOT1 visit must be 
done with the patient present at the investigative site. This includes, but is not limited to, 
visits containing PK assessments, lumbar punctures, BM evaluations, or chemotherapy 
dosing. The optional continuation therapy visits should be done at the investigative site.

Study No. 1501 
Page 108 of 183 
Protocol Incorporating Amendment No. 4

CONFIDENTIAL 
Every effort should be made to conduct patient visits at the investigative site. However, 
follow-up visits may be conducted by home health care visits in cases where flexibility is 
needed due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Home health care visits will be 
documented in the study records and eCRF. The data collected from home health care visits 
may be handled differently in the final data analysis, with this documented in the statistical 
analysis plan (SAP). 
• For home health care visits, collection of clinical laboratory samples (blood specimen 
collection or other diagnostic tests) may be performed by the investigator or qualified site 
staff who can visit the patient’s residence. 
• Missed clinic visits or patient withdrawals due to COVID-19 must be recorded on the eCRF. 
(Section 9.6). 
• ECG procedures: For home health care visits, ECGs may be performed by a qualified health 
care professional who is authorized/certified to perform such tests routinely. 
• ‘Remote visits’ via virtual communications (eg, TeleHealth application) may be performed as 
a safety check on patient well-being. 
• Allow transfer of patients to investigative sites away from risk zones or closer to their home 
to sites already participating in the study or new ones. 
• Deviations from the protocol-specified procedures (eg, not collecting a protocol-specified 
specimen, such as postdose blood work) will be recorded as related to COVID-19 
(Section 14.2). 
• Alternative study drug deliveries may include dispensing additional ponatinib at clinic visits 
or DTP delivery of ponatinib from the investigative site to patients in compliance with 
national laws or temporary national emergency measures (Section 8.13.2). 
• Alternative monitoring approaches may include remote source data verification or remote 
source data review (Section 14.1). 
9.4 
Completion of Study Treatment 
All patients will be considered to have completed study treatment when they have completed the 
reinduction and consolidation blocks and the EOT1 visit and did not discontinue study treatment 
early or meet any of the criteria listed in Section 9.5, and if the patients received optional 
continuation therapy then after completing the EOT2 visit. 
9.5 
Reasons for Discontinuation of Treatment 
Discontinuation of treatment with study drug is to be reviewed and confirmed by the sponsor’s 
medical monitor or designee. 
Study drug must be immediately discontinued for patients who become pregnant. Depending on 
the outcome of the pregnancy (spontaneous or elective abortion), the sponsor/investigator may 
decide the patient can continue in the study.

Treatment with study drug may also be discontinued for any of the following reasons: 
• AE. 
• Protocol deviation and noncompliance. 
• Progressive disease. 
• Symptomatic deterioration. 
• Initiation of non-protocol therapy. 
• Study terminated by sponsor. 
• Withdrawal by patient or, if applicable, patient’s parent or legal guardian. 
• Lost to follow-up. 
• Other. 
Once study drug has been discontinued, all study procedures outlined for the EOT1 visit will be 
completed as specified in the SOE (Appendix A, Table 1). The primary reason for study drug 
discontinuation will be recorded on the eCRF including unavoidable circumstances such as the 
COVID-19 public health emergency. 
In the case of study termination by the sponsor, eligible patients may have continued access to 
ponatinib as described in Section 6.3.5. 
9.6 
Withdrawal of Patients From Study 
A patient may be withdrawn from the study for any of the following reasons; the reason for 
withdrawal from the study must be documented in the eCRF: 
• Death. 
• Study terminated by sponsor. 
• Withdrawal by patient or, if applicable, patient’s parent or legal guardian. 
• Lost to follow-up. 
• Other. 
The consequence of study withdrawal is that no new information will be collected from the 
withdrawn patient and added to the existing data or any database. 
9.7 
Study Compliance 
Study drug will be administered or dispensed only to eligible patients under the supervision of 
the investigator or identified subinvestigator(s). The appropriate study personnel will maintain 
records of study drug receipt and dispensing.

is sufficient reasonable cause. Written notification documenting the reason for study termination 
will be provided to the investigator or sponsor by the terminating party. 
The study will be completed as planned unless 1 or more of the following criteria are satisfied 
that require temporary suspension or early termination of the study: 
• New information or other evaluation regarding the safety or efficacy of ponatinib that 
indicates a change in the known safety profile such that the benefit-risk is no longer 
acceptable for patients participating in this study. 
• The independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) recommends that the study should be 
suspended or terminated.  
• Significant violation of GCP that compromises the ability to achieve the primary study 
objectives or compromises subject safety. 
• Study-specific criteria for terminating the study (eg, study meets predefined rule for futility 
or benefit).  
• Emergence of events that meet the criteria for early safety stopping rules as in Section 8.4.1. 
• Insufficient recruitment rate.

ADVERSE EVENTS 
10.1 
Definitions 
10.1.1 
Pretreatment Event Definition 
A pretreatment event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or subject who has signed 
informed consent to participate in a study but before administration of any study medication; it 
does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with study participation. 
10.1.2 
Adverse Event Definition 
AE means any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or subject administered a 
pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal 
relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign

frequency since the administration of study drug. AE relationship should be assessed as related 
(includes attribution of possibly, probably, or definitely) or not related. 
An abnormal laboratory value will not be assessed as an AE unless that value leads to 
discontinuation or delay in treatment, dose modification, therapeutic intervention, or is 
considered by the investigator to be a clinically significant change from baseline. 
10.1.3 
Serious Adverse Event Definition 
SAE means any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
• Results in death. 
• Is life-threatening (refers to an AE in which the patient was at risk of death at the time of the 
event. It does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were 
more severe). 
• Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization (see 
clarification in the paragraph in Section 10.2 on planned hospitalizations). 
• Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity. (Disability is defined as a 
substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct normal life functions.) 
• Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. 
• Is a medically important event. This refers to an AE that may not result in death, be 
immediately life-threatening, or require hospitalization, but may be considered serious when, 
on the basis of appropriate medical judgment, it may jeopardize the patient, require medical 
or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above, or involves suspected 
transmission via a medicinal product of an infectious agent. Examples of such medical events 
include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at 
home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization, or the 
development of drug dependency or drug abuse; any organism, virus, or infectious particle 
(eg, prion protein transmitting transmissible spongiform encephalopathy), pathogenic or 
nonpathogenic, is considered an infectious agent. 
In this study, intensity for each AE, including any laboratory abnormality considered an AE, will 
be determined using the NCI CTCAE Version 5.0. Clarification should be made between an SAE 
and an AE that is considered severe in intensity (Grade 3 or 4) because the terms serious and 
severe are NOT synonymous. The general term severe is often used to describe the intensity 
(severity) of a specific event; the event itself, however, may be of relatively minor medical 
significance (such as a Grade 3 headache). This is NOT the same as serious, which is based on 
patient/event outcome or action criteria described above and is usually associated with events 
that pose a threat to a patient’s life or ability to function. A severe AE (Grade 3 or 4) does not 
necessarily need to be considered serious. For example, a WBC count of 1000/mm3 to less than 
2000/mm3 is considered Grade 3 (severe) but may not be considered serious. Seriousness (not 
intensity) serves as a guide for defining regulatory reporting obligations.

10.1.4 
Adverse Events of Special Interest Definitions 
AOEs and VTEs have been identified as AESIs for ponatinib. These include arterial and VTE 
and occlusive AEs that meet the criteria for SAEs, as defined in Section 10.1.3. 
The sponsor has determined that the events in the following list should be considered AESIs: 
• MI: The Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (Thygesen et al. 2012) is used 
to define MI. Acute MI is used when there is evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical 
setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Any one of the following: 
– A rise and/or fall of cardiac biomarker values (preferably cardiac troponin) with at least 
1 value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit (URL) and with at least 1 of the 
following: 
• Symptoms of ischemia. 
• New or presumed new significant ST-segment T-wave changes or new left bundle 
branch block (LBBB). 
• Development of pathological Q waves in the ECG. 
• Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion 
abnormality. 
• Identification of an intracoronary thrombus by angiography or autopsy. 
– Cardiac death with symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischemia and presumed new 
ischemic ECG changes or new LBBB, but death occurred before cardiac biomarkers were 
obtained or would be increased. 
– Percutaneous coronary intervention-related MI was arbitrarily defined by elevation of 
cardiac troponin values (>5 × 99th percentile URL) in patients with normal baseline 
values (≤99th percentile URL) or a rise of cardiac troponin values >20% if the baseline 
values were elevated and were stable or falling. In addition, either: (1) symptoms 
suggestive of myocardial ischemia, (2) new ischemic ECG changes, (3) angiographic 
findings consistent with a procedural complication, or (4) imaging demonstration of new 
loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality were required. 
– Stent thrombosis associated with MI when detected by coronary angiography or autopsy 
in the setting of myocardial ischemia and with a rise and/or fall of cardiac biomarker 
values with at least 1 value above the 99th percentile URL. 
– Coronary artery bypass grafting-related MI was arbitrarily defined by elevation of cardiac 
biomarker values (>10 × 99th percentile URL) in patients with normal baseline cardiac 
troponin values (<99th percentile URL). In addition, either (1) new pathological Q waves 
or new LBBB, (2) angiographic documented new graft or new native coronary artery 
occlusion, or (3) imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional 
wall motion abnormality. 
• Angina (newly diagnosed or worsening of existing or unstable angina).

CONFIDENTIAL 
• Coronary artery disease (CAD) (newly diagnosed or worsening of existing CAD) or 
symptoms that may reflect cardiovascular disease (Thygesen et al. 2012). 
• Cerebrovascular ischemic disease, including ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, vascular 
stenosis, TIA, cerebrovascular occlusive disease documented on diagnostic neuroimaging, or 
symptoms that may reflect cerebrovascular disease (Easton et al. 2009). 
• New onset or worsening of peripheral artery occlusive disease (eg, of the renal artery, 
mesenteric artery, or femoral artery) or symptoms that may reflect peripheral vascular 
disease. 
• Retinal vascular thrombosis, both venous and arterial. 
• Venous thromboembolism that could result in significant compromise of organ function or 
other significant consequences (eg, pulmonary embolism, portal vein thrombosis, or renal 
vein thrombosis), or symptoms that may reflect venous thrombosis. 
Additionally, the sponsor has a list of a broad range of nonspecific terms that could meet the 
criteria for AOEs and VTEs. The sponsor will periodically look at the safety data and inform 
the site if any AE qualifies for AOEs/VTEs as per these criteria. Dose modification 
guidelines for AOEs/VTEs are presented in Section 8.4.2.2. 
10.2 
Procedures for Recording and Reporting Adverse Events and Serious Adverse 
Events 
All AEs spontaneously reported by the patient or parent/legal guardian or in response to an open 
question from study personnel or revealed by observation, physical examination, or other 
diagnostic procedures will be recorded on the appropriate page of the eCRF (see Section 10.3 for 
the period of observation). Any clinically relevant deterioration in laboratory assessments or 
other clinical finding is considered an AE. When possible, signs and symptoms indicating a 
common underlying pathology should be noted as a single comprehensive event. 
Regardless of causality, SAEs must be reported by the investigator to the Takeda Global 
Pharmacovigilance department or designee within 24 hours of becoming aware of the event. This 
will be done by transmitting an EDC SAE report. If transmission of an EDC SAE report is not 
feasible, then a facsimile of the completed Takeda paper-based SAE form will be sent. A sample 
of the paper-based SAE form and processing directions are in the Study Manual. Information in 
the SAE report or form must be consistent with the data provided on the eCRF. Reporting details 
and contact information are provided in the site operations manual. 
If information not available at the time of the first report becomes available at a later date, then 
the investigator will transmit a follow-up EDC SAE report (or a paper-based SAE form if an 
EDC SAE report is not feasible) or provide other documentation immediately within 24 hours of 
receipt. Copies of any relevant data from the hospital notes (eg, ECGs, laboratory tests, discharge 
summary, postmortem results) should be sent to the addressee, if requested. 
All SAEs should be followed up until resolution or permanent outcome of the event. The 
timelines and procedure for follow-up reports are the same as those for the initial report.

CONFIDENTIAL 
Planned hospital admissions or surgical procedures for an illness or disease that existed before 
study drug was given are not to be considered AEs unless the condition deteriorated in an 
unexpected manner during the study (eg, surgery was performed earlier or later than planned). 
10.3 
Monitoring of Adverse Events and Period of Observation 
AEs, both nonserious and serious, will be monitored throughout the study as follows: 
• AEs will be reported from the signing of the ICF through the EOT visit (EOT1 or EOT2, as 
applicable) and recorded in the eCRFs. AEs should be monitored until they are resolved or 
return to baseline or are clearly determined to be due to a patient’s stable or chronic condition 
or intercurrent illness(es); the exception is peripheral neuropathy, which will be followed 
monthly until (1) resolution of peripheral neuropathy, (2) the start of a second-line alternative 
antineoplastic treatment, or (3) 6 months after progressive disease has occurred, whichever 
occurs first. 
• SAEs will be reported to the Takeda Global Pharmacovigilance department or designee from 
the signing of informed consent through 30 days after administration of the last dose of 
ponatinib and recorded in the eCRF. After this period, only related SAEs must be reported to 
the Takeda Global Pharmacovigilance department or designee. SAEs should be monitored 
until they are resolved, return to baseline, or are clearly determined to be due to a patient’s 
stable or chronic condition or intercurrent illness(es). 
The safety and response data from phase 1 will be continuously reviewed by the sponsor and the 
medical monitor. At the cohort review meeting, the safety and response data will be reviewed by 
the sponsor together with participating investigators and a decision will be made either to 
proceed to the next phase of the study, evaluate a lower dose, or terminate the study. 
Prior to proceeding with the phase 2 enrollment for each formulation (tablet and AAF), an end of 
phase 1 meeting will be conducted and all factors impacting safety, including protocol deviations 
will be evaluated. These data and decisions will be provided to the IDMC for their review and 
feedback and an end of phase 1 summary will be sent to all participating sites. After the 
determination of the RP2D and commencing phase 2 enrollment at the RP2D, the sponsor’s team 
will continue to monitor all available safety data and hold safety review meetings on a regular 
basis. At any time, if the IDMC raises any important safety concerns, these will be 
communicated to the sites and when appropriate, the informed consents may be amended. 
Further details on the IDMC are provided in Section 11.2. 
10.4 
Procedures for Reporting Drug Exposure During Pregnancy and Birth Events 
If a patient becomes pregnant or suspects pregnancy while participating in this study, the patient 
must inform the investigator immediately and permanently discontinue study drug. The sponsor 
must also be contacted immediately by sending a completed pregnancy form to the Takeda 
Global Pharmacovigilance department or designee. The pregnancy must be followed for the final 
pregnancy outcome.

If a patient impregnates a partner during participation in this study, the sponsor must also be 
contacted immediately by sending a completed pregnancy form to the Takeda Global 
Pharmacovigilance department or designee. Every effort should be made to follow the pregnancy 
for the final pregnancy outcome. 
Reporting details and contact information are provided in the site operations manual. 
10.5 
Procedures for Reporting Product Complaints or Medication Errors (Including 
Overdose) 
A product complaint is a verbal, written, or electronic expression that implies dissatisfaction 
regarding the identity, strength, purity, quality, or stability of a drug product. Individuals who 
identify a potential product complaint situation should immediately report this via the phone 
numbers or email address provided in the site operations manual. 
A medication error is a preventable event that involves an identifiable patient and leads to 
inappropriate medication use, which may result in patient harm. Whereas overdoses and 
underdoses constitute medication errors, doses missed inadvertently by a patient do not. 
Individuals who identify a potential medication error (including overdose) situation should 
immediately report this via the phone numbers or email address provided in the site operations 
manual. 
Product complaints and medication errors in and of themselves are not AEs. If a product 
complaint or a medication error results in an SAE, the SAE should be reported. Medication 
errors should also be documented accurately in the patient diary. 
10.6 
Safety Reporting to Investigators, IRBs or IECs, and Regulatory Authorities 
The sponsor will be responsible for reporting all suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions 
(SUSARs) and any other applicable SAEs to regulatory authorities, including the EU EMA, 
investigators, and IRBs and IECs, as applicable, in accordance with national regulations in the 
countries where the study is conducted. Relative to the first awareness of the event by/or further 
provision to the sponsor or sponsor’s designee, SUSARs will be submitted to the regulatory 
authorities as expedited reports within 7 days for fatal and life-threatening events and within 
15 days for other serious events, unless otherwise required by national regulations. The sponsor 
will also prepare an expedited report for other safety issues where these might materially alter 
the current benefit-risk assessment of an investigational medicinal product or that would be 
sufficient to consider changes in the investigational medicinal product’s administration or in the 
overall conduct of the trial. The investigative site also will forward a copy of all expedited 
reports to its IRB or IEC in accordance with national regulations.

STUDY-SPECIFIC COMMITTEES 
11.1 
Sponsor Liaison Team 
The Sponsor Liaison Team (SLT) or their respective delegates consists of key representatives 
from the ponatinib development team who have knowledge of the day-to-day activities of the 
study. The SLT should consist of, at a minimum, the following individuals: 
• Ponatinib global clinical lead. 
• Project clinician. 
• Lead project statistician. 
• Ponatinib global safety lead. 
The team will attend the open meeting sessions to answer any questions proposed by the IDMC 
relevant to study/program scientific and clinical issues. The SLT may request that the IDMC 
addresses specific issues related to the study. The committee will also liaise with the pediatric 
consortia study committees regarding important issues and developments related to the study. 
11.2 
IDMC 
An IDMC comprised of a pediatric oncologist, pediatric hematologist, and a statistician will 
review safety and efficacy data at the planned primary analysis and at regular intervals outlined 
in the charter. The IDMC will review study data according to the IDMC charter. 
The IDMC will provide a recommendation regarding study continuation based on the safety and 
efficacy parameters. If the study is terminated early based on the IDMC recommendation, 
Takeda will notify the appropriate regulatory authorities. In addition, the IDMC will periodically 
review safety data at regularly scheduled meetings prespecified in the IDMC charter. 
Study accrual will not be interrupted because of the scheduled safety reviews. The IDMC or 
study team may request an ad hoc meeting for any reason, including a significant unexpected 
safety event, follow-up of an observation during a planned IDMC meeting, or a report external to 
the study, such as publication of study results from a competing product. At each review, patient 
incidence rates of AEs (including all SAEs, treatment-related AEs, serious treatment-related 
events, and events requiring the discontinuation of study drug) will be tabulated by Medical 
Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) System Organ Class (SOC), Preferred Term 
(PT), and severity grade. Listings and/or narratives of on-study deaths and other serious and 
significant AEs, including any early withdrawals because of AEs, will be provided. Records of 
all meetings will be archived. The IDMC will communicate major safety concerns and 
recommendations regarding study modification or termination to Takeda. Additionally, the 
IDMC will receive regular listing updates on all SAEs and immediate notification of any deaths. 
Details of the IDMC (scope of functions and schedule) will be captured in its charter before the 
start of the study. Further details will be provided in the IDMC charter.

DATA HANDLING AND RECORDKEEPING 
The full details of procedures for data handling will be documented in the data management plan. 
If selected for coding, AEs, medical history, and concurrent conditions will be coded using 
MedDRA. Drugs will be coded using the World Health Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary 
(01 March 2018). 
12.1 
eCRFs 
Completed eCRFs are required for each patient who signs, or whose parent or legal guardian 
signs, an ICF. 
The sponsor or its designee will supply investigative sites with access to eCRFs and will make 
arrangements to train appropriate site staff in the use of the eCRF. These forms are used to 
transmit the information collected in the performance of this study to the sponsor, contract 
research organization (CRO) partners, and regulatory authorities. Investigative sites must 
complete eCRFs in English. 
After completion of the entry process, computer logic checks will be run to identify items such 
as inconsistent dates, missing data, and questionable values. Queries may be issued by Takeda 
personnel (or designees) and will be answered by the site. 
Any change of, modification of, or addition to the data on the eCRFs should be made by the 
investigator or appropriate site personnel. Corrections to eCRFs are recorded in an audit trail that 
captures the old information, the new information, identification of the person making the 
correction, the date the correction was made, and the reason for the change. 
The principal investigator must review the eCRFs for completeness and accuracy and must sign 
and date the appropriate eCRFs as indicated. Furthermore, the principal investigator must retain 
full responsibility for the accuracy and authenticity of all data entered on the eCRFs. 
eCRFs will be reviewed for completeness and acceptability at the study site during periodic visits 
by study monitors. The sponsor (or designee) will be permitted to review the patient’s medical 
and hospital records pertinent to the study to ensure accuracy of the eCRFs. The completed 
eCRFs are the sole property of the sponsor and should not be made available in any form to third 
parties, except for authorized representatives of appropriate governmental health or regulatory 
authorities, without written permission of the sponsor. 
12.2 
Record Retention 
The investigator agrees to keep the records stipulated in Section 12.1 and those documents that 
include (but are not limited to) the study-specific documents, the identification log of all 
participating patients, medical records, temporary media such as thermal-sensitive paper, source 
worksheets, all original signed and dated ICFs, subject authorization forms regarding the use of 
personal health information (if separate from the ICFs), electronic copies of eCRFs including the

audit trail, and detailed records of drug disposition to enable evaluations or audits from 
regulatory authorities and the sponsor (or designees). Any source documentation printed on 
degradable thermal-sensitive paper should be photocopied by the site and filed with the original 
in the patient’s chart or electronic medical record to ensure long-term legibility. Furthermore, 
ICH E6 (GCP) Section 4.9.5 requires the investigator to retain essential documents specified in 
ICH E6 (Section 8) until at least 2 years after the last approval of a marketing application for a 
specified drug indication being investigated or, if an application is not approved, until at least 
2 years after the investigation is discontinued and regulatory authorities are notified. In addition, 
ICH E6 Section 4.9.5 states that the study records should be retained until an amount of time 
specified by applicable regulatory requirements or for a time specified in the clinical study site 
agreement between the investigator and sponsor. 
Refer to the clinical study site agreement for the sponsor’s requirements for record retention. The 
investigator should contact and receive written approval from the sponsor before disposing of 
any such documents.

STATISTICAL METHODS 
13.1 
Statistical Analysis Plans 
A SAP will be prepared and finalized before database lock. This document will provide further 
details regarding the definition of analysis variables and analysis methodology to address all 
study objectives. 
A data review will be conducted before database lock. This review will assess the accuracy and 
completeness of the study database, patient evaluability, and appropriateness of the planned 
statistical methods. 
In general, summary tabulations will be presented by study phase and dose cohort and will 
display the number of observations, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum 
for continuous variables, and the number and percent per category for categorical data. The 
Kaplan-Meier survival curves and 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentiles will be provided 
along with their 2-sided CIs for time-to-event data. In case survival distributions cannot be 
summarized appropriately, alternative approaches will be defined in the SAP. 
The SAP will be written by Takeda and will be finalized before the database lock for the interim 
analysis as defined in Section 13.2. Deviations from the statistical analyses outlined in this 
protocol will be indicated in the SAP; any further modifications will be noted in the final CSR. 
13.1.1 
Analysis Sets 
The populations used for analysis will include the following:

• PK analysis population: Patients in the phase 1 portion of the study who have sufficient 
ponatinib dosing data and concentration–time data to permit the calculation of ponatinib PK 
parameters. 
• DLT-evaluable population: Patients in the phase 1 portion of the study who receive at least 
1 dose of ponatinib in the reinduction block; to confirm no DLT was observed, the patient 
must have received at least 70% of the planned ponatinib dosing. The DLT-evaluable 
population will be used to determine the maximum tolerated dose. 
Patients who are withdrawn from treatment during the reinduction block for reasons other 
than DLTs will be replaced. 
• Response-evaluable population: Ph+ ALL patients at RP2D who receive at least 1 dose of 
ponatinib and complete at least 1 postbaseline disease assessment will be used for efficacy 
analyses. 
13.1.2

Patients with Ph-like ALL and Ph+ MPAL will not be included in efficacy analyses. These 
patients will be included in safety and other descriptive analyses. 
13.1.3.1 
Primary Efficacy Endpoint Assessment 
Primary efficacy endpoint will be analyzed in the phase 2 portion of the study. Primary data 
analysis for this study will be conducted when all patients have been assessed for their primary 
endpoint and been on study for approximately 6 months after the last patient has been enrolled. 
The response-evaluable population will be assessed for the phase 2 primary endpoint. The 
phase 2 primary endpoint is CR at the end of the reinduction block. The estimate of the primary 
endpoint will be presented with 2-sided 90% Wilson Score CI. 
13.1.3.2

individual PK parameters will be presented in listings. Individual and mean ponatinib plasma 
concentration–time profiles will be plotted. 
The sparse PK data collected in the phase 2 portion of the study will be listed and summarized by 
time point. The PK data collected in both phase 1 and phase 2 of the study will contribute to 
population PK and exposure-response analyses of ponatinib in the pediatric patient population. 
These analyses may include data collected in other ponatinib studies. The analysis plan for the 
population PK and exposure-response analyses will be separately defined, and the results of 
these analyses will be reported separately. 
13.1.6 
Safety Analysis 
The safety analysis will cover short-term AE, SAE, and AESI rates and changes from baseline in 
laboratory values. 
AEs will be summarized using the safety population. The DLT-evaluable population will be used 
for the analysis of DLT. 
All AEs will be coded using the MedDRA. Data will be summarized using PT and primary SOC. 
The safety analysis will be carried out at interim, primary and final analyses. 
Safety evaluations will be based on incidence, severity, and type of AEs; clinically significant 
changes or abnormalities in the patient’s physical or neurological examinations; vital signs; and 
clinical laboratory test results. 
Descriptive statistics will be calculated. TEAEs will be tabulated by primary SOC, High Level 
Term (HLT), and PT. MedDRA will be used for coding AEs. A TEAE is defined as any AE that 
occurs after administration of the first dose of any study drug and through 30 days after the last 
dose of any study drug. 
To summarize the number of patients with AEs, patients reporting the same event more than 
once will have that event counted only once within each SOC, HLT, and PT. Events that are 
considered related to treatment will also be tabulated. AEs will also be summarized by intensity. 
Deaths, AEs, SAEs, AOEs, VTEs, and events resulting in study discontinuation, if present, will 
be presented in separate data listings. 
Descriptive statistics for the actual values of clinical laboratory parameters (and/or change from 
baseline in clinical laboratory parameters) will be presented for all scheduled measurements over 
time. Mean laboratory values over time will be plotted for key laboratory parameters. In 
addition, urinalysis results will be listed. 
A summary of ECG abnormalities will be presented by visit. ECG parameters (QT, QTc, PR, 
and QRS intervals and ventricular rate) will be summarized at each scheduled time point, along 
with the mean change from baseline to each posttreatment time point. Shift tables for laboratory 
parameters will be generated based on changes in NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 grade from baseline 
to the worst postbaseline value. Graphical displays of key safety parameters, such as scatter plots 
of baseline versus worst postbaseline values, may be used to understand the ponatinib safety 
profile.

All concomitant medications collected from screening through the study period will be classified 
to PTs according to the WHO Drug Dictionary (01 March 2018). 
13.2 
Interim Analysis and Criteria for Early Termination 
There will be 1 interim analysis performed when 20 patients at the RP2D have completed 
reinduction. Enrollment will not be stopped while the interim analysis data is reviewed by the 
IDMC (Section 11.2). Following the interim analysis results and application of the prespecified 
rules, the IDMC may recommend stopping the trial for futility or recommend continuing the trial 
with or without modifications. The sponsor’s Executive Committee will make final decisions 
based on the IDMC’s recommendations. The analysis will be performed as defined in 
Section 13.1.3.1. 
13.3 
Determination of Sample Size and Justification of Control Rate Assumption 
The Wilson Score CI approach will be used for the sample size determination. The Wilson Score 
interval is an improvement over the normal approximation interval in that the actual coverage 
probability is closer to the nominal value. Based on the Wilson Score CI approach and assuming 
N = 68 patients to reject the null hypothesis of a 67% CR rate, a 2-sided type I error of 0.1, and 
that under the alternative hypothesis the ponatinib CR rate is 80% based on simulations with 
1,000,000 iterations, the power of the trial equals 81.5%. This simulation also demonstrated that 
under the null hypothesis, the type I error is controlled at a nominal level of 0.1 (2-sided). 
The null hypothesis of a 67% CR rate is based on the following justification from 2 studies. In 
the first study, 87 adult patients with Ph+ ALL were treated with imatinib plus chemotherapy 
(Lim 2017). Of the 87 patients, 44 experienced a relapse, and of those, 19 (43.2%) achieved a 
second CR (CR2). Based on these results, we assume that the prior distribution control rate 
follows β(a, b), mean = a/(a + b) = 19/(19 + 25) = 0.432. The outcomes of imatinib plus 
chemotherapy were also evaluated in a study of 92 pediatric patients with Ph+ ALL (Schultz et 
al. 2014). Among those who relapsed, follow-up data were available on 34 patients, of which 
24 (70.6%) achieved a CR2 (personal communication, 11 June 2019). Based on those results, we 
assume that a CR2 event, x, follows a binomial (n, p) distribution, where x = 24, n = 34, and the 
estimated rate p = 24/34 = 0.71. The CR2 posterior distribution follows β(a + x, n – x + b). 
Thus, the mean CR2 rate from the posterior distribution = (a + x)/(n + a + b) = 0.5513. The 95% 
credible interval of the CR2 rate = (0.44, 0.66) = (44%, 66%). 
Because our prior distribution control rate uses adult data, we take a conservative approach and 
assume that the control rate is no less than the 95% upper credible limit, ie, 67%.

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
14.1 
Study Site Monitoring Visits 
Monitoring visits to the study site will be made periodically during the study to ensure that all 
aspects of the protocol are followed. Source documents will be reviewed for verification of data 
recorded on the eCRFs. Source documents are defined as original documents, data, and records.

CONFIDENTIAL 
The investigator and institution guarantee access to source documents by the sponsor or its 
designee (CRO) and by the IRB or IEC. 
All aspects of the study and its documentation will be subject to review by the sponsor or 
designee including, but not limited to, the investigator’s site file, study medication, patient 
medical records, informed consent documentation, documentation of subject authorization to use 
personal health information (if separate from the ICFs), and review of eCRFs and associated 
source documents. It is important that the investigator and other study personnel are available 
during the monitoring visits and that sufficient time is devoted to the process. 
In the event a monitor cannot visit the site in a timely manner due to the COVID-19 public health 
emergency, alternative monitoring approaches such as remote source data verification (rSDV), 
remote source data review (rSDR), or telephone contact may be used to ensure data quality and 
integrity and maintain patient safety. Such alternative approaches must adhere to any applicable 
local laws and guidances. 
14.2 
Protocol Deviations 
The investigator should not deviate from the protocol, except where necessary to eliminate an 
immediate hazard to study patients. Should other unexpected circumstances arise that will 
require deviation from protocol-specified procedures, the investigator should consult with the 
sponsor or designee (and IRB or IEC, as required) to determine the appropriate course of action. 
There will be no exemptions (a prospectively approved deviation) from the inclusion or 
exclusion criteria. 
The site should document all protocol deviations in the patient’s source documents. In the event 
of a significant deviation, the site should notify the sponsor or its designee (and IRB or EC, as 
required). Significant deviations include, but are not limited to, those that involve fraud or 
misconduct, increase the health risk to the patient, or confound interpretation of the primary 
study assessment. 
The sponsor will assess any protocol deviation; if it is likely to affect to a significant degree the 
safety and rights of a patient or the reliability and robustness of the data generated, it may be 
reported to regulatory authorities as a serious breach of GCP and the protocol. 
The investigator should document each protocol deviation and report to the IRB/IEC each 
deviation that the IRB/IEC requires to be reported. For COVID-19–related protocol deviations, 
the specific protocol deviation and the reason for the deviation should be documented. 
14.3 
Quality Assurance Audits and Regulatory Agency Inspections 
The study site also may be subject to quality assurance audits by the sponsor or designees. In this 
circumstance, the sponsor-designated auditor will contact the site in advance to arrange an 
auditing visit. The auditor may ask to visit the facilities where laboratory samples are collected, 
where the medication is stored and prepared, and any other facility used during the study. In 
addition, there is the possibility that this study may be inspected by regulatory agencies, 
including those of foreign governments (eg, the US FDA, the UK MHRA, and the EU EMA). If

the study site is contacted for an inspection by a regulatory body, the sponsor should be notified 
immediately. The investigator and institution guarantee access for quality assurance auditors to 
all study documents as described in Section 14.1. 
15.0 
ETHICAL ASPECTS OF THE STUDY 
This study will be conducted with the highest respect for the individual participants (ie, patients) 
according to the protocol, the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of 
Helsinki, and the ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guideline for GCP. Each investigator will conduct 
the study according to applicable local or regional regulatory requirements and align his or her 
conduct in accordance with the responsibilities of the investigator that are listed in Appendix B. 
The principles of Helsinki are addressed through the protocol and through appendices containing 
requirements for informed consent and investigator responsibilities. 
15.1 
IRB and/or IEC Approval 
IRBs and IECs must be constituted according to the applicable state and federal/local 
requirements of each participating region. The sponsor or designee will require documentation 
noting all names and titles of members who make up the respective IRB or IEC. If any member 
of the IRB or IEC has direct participation in this study, written notification regarding his or her 
abstinence from voting must also be obtained. Those American sites unwilling to provide names 
and titles of all members because of privacy and conflict of interest concerns should instead 
provide a Federalwide Assurance number or comparable number assigned by the US Department 
of Health and Human Services. 
The sponsor or designee will supply relevant documents for submission to the respective IRB or 
IEC for the protocol’s review and approval. This protocol, the investigator’s brochure, a copy of 
the ICF, and, if applicable, subject recruitment materials and advertisements and other 
documents required by all applicable laws and regulations must be submitted to a central and/or 
local IRB or IEC for approval. The IRB’s or IEC’s written approval of the protocol and subject 
informed consent must be obtained and submitted to the sponsor or designee before 
commencement of the study, ie, before shipment of the sponsor-supplied drug or study-specific 
screening activity. The IRB or IEC approval must refer to the study by its exact protocol title, 
number, and version date; identify versions of other documents (eg, ICF) reviewed; and state the 
approval date. If required by country or regional regulations or procedures, approval from the 
competent regulatory authority will be obtained before commencement of the study or 
implementation of a substantial amendment. The sponsor will ship drug and notify the site once 
the sponsor has confirmed the adequacy of site regulatory documentation and, when applicable, 
the sponsor has received permission from the competent authority to begin the study. Until the 
site receives drug/notification, no protocol activities, including screening, may occur. 
Sites must adhere to all requirements stipulated by their respective IRB or IEC. This may include 
notification to the IRB or IEC regarding protocol amendments, updates to the ICF, recruitment 
materials intended for viewing by patients, local safety reporting requirements, reports and 
updates regarding the ongoing review of the study at intervals specified by the respective IRB or 
IEC, and submission of the investigator’s final status report to IRB or IEC. All IRB and IEC

approvals and relevant documentation for these items must be provided to the sponsor 
(or designee). 
Patient incentives should not exert undue influence for participation. Payments to patients must 
be approved by the IRB or IEC and sponsor. 
15.2 
Subject Information, Informed Consent, and Subject Authorization 
Written consent documents will embody the elements of informed consent as described in the 
Declaration of Helsinki and the ICH guideline for GCP and will be in accordance with all 
applicable laws and regulations. The ICF, assent form (if applicable), subject authorization form 
(if applicable), and subject information sheet (if applicable) describe the planned and permitted 
uses, transfers, and disclosures of the subject’s personal health information for purposes of 
conducting the study. The ICF further explains the nature of the study, its objectives, and 
potential risks and benefits, and the date informed consent is given. The ICF will detail the 
requirements of the participant and the fact that he or she is free to withdraw at any time without 
giving a reason and without prejudice to his or her further medical care. 
The investigator is responsible for the preparation, content, and IRB or IEC approval of the ICF 
and, if applicable, the subject authorization form. The ICF, assent form (if applicable), subject 
authorization form (if applicable), and subject information sheet (if applicable) must be approved 
by both the IRB or IEC and the sponsor before use. 
The ICF, assent form (if applicable), subject authorization form (if applicable), and subject 
information sheet (if applicable) must be written in a language fully comprehensible to the 
prospective subject’s parent or legal guardian (or the prospective subject, if the subject is of the 
age of consent). It is the responsibility of the investigator to explain the detailed elements of the 
ICF, assent form (if applicable), subject authorization form (if applicable), and subject 
information sheet (if applicable) to the subject or the subject’s parent or legal guardian. 
Information should be given in both oral and written form whenever possible and in the manner 
deemed appropriate by the IRB or IEC. If the subject is not capable of rendering adequate 
written informed consent, then the subject’s parent or legal guardian may provide such consent 
for the subject in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 
The subject, or the subject’s parent or legal guardian, must be given ample opportunity to 
(1) inquire about details of the study and (2) decide whether to participate in the study. If the 
subject, or the subject's parent or legal guardian, determines that he or she will participate in the 
study, then the ICF and assent form (if applicable) must be signed and dated at the time of 
consent and before the subject enters into the study. The subject or the subject’s parent or legal 
guardian should be instructed to sign using their legal names, not nicknames, using a ballpoint 
pen with either blue or black ink. The investigator must also sign and date the ICF, assent form 
(if applicable), and subject authorization (if applicable) at the time of consent and before the 
subject enters into the study; however, the sponsor may allow a designee of the investigator to 
sign to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
Once signed, the original ICF, subject authorization form (if applicable), and subject information 
sheet (if applicable) will be stored in the investigator’s site file. The investigator must document

the date the subject signs the informed consent in the subject’s medical record. Copies of the 
signed ICF, the signed assent form (if applicable), the signed subject authorization form (if 
applicable), and the subject information sheet (if applicable) shall be given to the subject. 
All revised ICFs and assent forms must be reviewed and signed by relevant subjects or the 
relevant subject’s parent or legal guardian in the same manner as the original informed consent. 
The date the revised consent was obtained should be recorded in the subject’s medical record, 
and the subject should receive a copy of the revised ICF. 
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, informed consent and assent from a potential or 
current trial participant and parent/legal guardian may be obtained via eIC capabilities, or an 
electronic face-to-face consent/assent interview when these individuals are unable to travel to the 
site. 
For patients who would have to travel long distances to the study site, remote consenting and 
assenting is allowed if permitted by local regulations (eg, IRB or IEC). 
15.3 
Subject Confidentiality 
The sponsor and designees affirm and uphold the principle of the subject’s right to protection 
against invasion of privacy. Throughout this study, a subject’s source data will be linked to the 
sponsor’s clinical study database or documentation only via a unique identification number. As 
permitted by all applicable laws and regulations, limited subject attributes, such as sex, age, or 
subject initials, may be used to verify the subject’s identity and accuracy of the subject’s unique 
identification number. 
To comply with ICH guideline for GCP and to verify compliance with this protocol, the sponsor 
requires the investigator to permit its monitor or designee’s monitor, representatives from any 
regulatory authority (eg, US FDA, UK MHRA), the sponsor’s designated auditors, and the 
appropriate IRBs and IECs to review the subject’s original medical records (source data or 
documents) including, but not limited to, laboratory test result reports, ECG reports, admission 
and discharge summaries for hospital admissions occurring during a subject’s study 
participation, and autopsy reports. Access to a subject’s original medical records requires the 
specific authorization of the subject as part of the informed consent process (see Section 15.2). 
Copies of any subject source documents that are provided to the sponsor must have certain 
identifying personal information removed, eg, subject name, address, and other identifier fields 
not collected on the subject’s eCRF. 
15.4 
Publication, Disclosure, and Clinical Trial Registration Policy 
15.4.1 
Publication 
The investigator is obliged to provide the sponsor with complete test results and all data derived 
by the investigator from the study. During and after the study, only the sponsor may make study 
information available to other study investigators or to regulatory agencies, except as required by 
law or regulation. Except as otherwise allowable in the clinical study site agreement, any public

disclosure (including publicly accessible websites) related to the protocol or study results, other 
than study recruitment materials and advertisements, is the sole responsibility of the sponsor. 
The sponsor may publish any data and information from the study (including data and 
information generated by the investigator) without the consent of the investigator. Manuscript 
authorship for any peer-reviewed publication will appropriately reflect contributions to the 
production and review of the document. All publications and presentations must be prepared in 
accordance with this section and the clinical study site agreement. In the event of any 
discrepancy between the protocol and the clinical study site agreement, the clinical study site 
agreement will prevail. 
15.4.2 
Clinical Trial Registration 
To ensure that information on clinical trials reaches the public in a timely manner and to comply 
with applicable laws, regulations, and guidance, Takeda will, at a minimum, register 
interventional clinical trials it sponsors anywhere in the world on ClinicalTrials.gov or other 
publicly accessible websites on or before start of study, as defined by Takeda policy/standards. 
Takeda contact information, along with investigator’s city, state (for Americas investigators), 
country, and recruiting status will be registered and available for public viewing.  
As needed, Takeda and investigator/site contact information may be made public to support 
participant access to trials via registries. In certain situations/registries, Takeda may assist 
participants or potential participants in finding a clinical trial by helping them locate trial sites 
closest to their homes by providing the investigator name, address, and phone number via 
email/phone or other methods preferred by callers requesting trial information. Once subjects 
receive investigator contact information, they may call the site requesting enrollment into the 
trial. The investigative sites are encouraged to handle the trial inquiries according to their 
established subject screening process. If the caller asks additional questions beyond the topic of 
trial enrollment, they should be referred to the sponsor. 
Any investigator who objects to Takeda providing this information to callers must provide 
Takeda with a written notice requesting that their information not be listed on the registry site. 
15.4.3 
Clinical Trial Results Disclosure 
Takeda will post the results of clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov, clinicaltrialsregister.eu, and 
other publicly accessible websites (including the Takeda corporate site) and registries, as 
required by Takeda policy/standards, applicable laws, and/or regulations. 
15.4.4 
Data Sharing 
The sponsor is committed to responsible sharing of clinical data with the goal of advancing 
medical science and improving patient care. Qualified independent researchers will be permitted 
to use data collected from patients during the study to conduct additional scientific research, 
which may be unrelated to the study drug or the patient’s disease. The data provided to external 
researchers will not include information that identifies patients personally.

Insurance and Compensation for Injury 
Each subject in the study must be insured in accordance with the regulations applicable to the 
site where the subject is participating. If a local underwriter is required, then the sponsor or 
sponsor’s designee will obtain clinical study insurance against the risk of injury to clinical study 
subjects. Refer to the clinical study site agreement regarding the sponsor’s policy on subject 
compensation and treatment for injury. If the investigator has questions regarding this policy, he 
or she should contact the sponsor or sponsor’s designee.

Note: Other studies or more frequent monitoring may be indicated for good clinical care. Initial IT chemotherapy: Day 1; may include methotrexate for CNS-1/2 patients, 
or triple IT chemotherapy for CNS-3 patients. All patient visits from screening/baseline through to and including the EOT1 visit must be done with the patient present at the 
investigative site. Every effort should be made to conduct patient visits at the investigative site. However, follow-up visits may be conducted by home health care visits in cases 
where flexibility is needed due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. 
a The screening visit must occur within 10 days before the day of the first dose of study drug (Day -10 to Day 0). 
b All patients will proceed to EOT (EOT1) 25 to 30 days after last dose of study treatment in the consolidation block or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy or 
optional ponatinib continuation therapy; EOT1 should be completed before alternative anticancer therapy(ies) are given. For patients with an early EOT1, the ECHO or MUGA

does not need to be repeated if done within 25 days and the ECG does not need to be repeated if done within 7 days prior to the visit. Only patients who receive optional 
continuation therapy containing ponatinib will undergo a second EOT visit (EOT2). See Table 2. Patients who discontinue ponatinib early in the reinduction block or 
consolidation block will be discontinued from study treatment and proceed to the EOT1 visit. 
c Each patient will be followed for a minimum of 36 months after the EOT1 visit or until patient withdrawal from study, whichever occurs first. Follow-up visits will occur after 
EOT1 at 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, 2 years, and then annually until the end of the study. If a patient refuses to return to the clinic for the scheduled long-term follow-up visits, 
information can be collected via telephone contact reports; however, this is not preferred (see Section 9.3.17). 
d The hematology and chemistry blood samples for Day 1 may be collected within 4 days before dosing to ensure patient eligibility on study Day 1. If screening clinical 
laboratory testing was performed within 4 days before the Day 1 dose, it need not be repeated on Day 1. Hematology includes complete blood cell count with differential 
consisting of the following: hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocytes (WBCs), differential WBC count, and platelets. Machine counts are acceptable. The chemistry panel consists of 
the following: sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, chloride, blood urea nitrogen or urea, creatinine, direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine 
aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, triglycerides, lipase, amylase, albumin, glucose, urate, calcium, phosphate, and magnesium. 
e To follow organ function and detect relapse. 
f Hepatitis testing is mandatory in countries with regulatory requirements and is optional in countries without regulatory requirements for testing. 
g HIV testing is mandatory in countries with regulatory requirements, and clinical assessment with HIV testing is optional in countries without regulatory requirements for testing. 
h Coagulation panel includes platelets [with hematology], activated partial thromboplastin time and PT, fibrinogen degradation products or D-dimer, factor FVII, and 
antithrombin level. 
i Troponin testing can be performed with either troponin T or troponin I, but ensure the same type of testing is used throughout the study. Blood sample can be collected either at 
the screening visit or on Day 1 before ponatinib and daunorubicin dosing. Additional evaluations may be done if clinically indicated. 
j A pregnancy test will be performed only for female patients of childbearing potential according to local standard of care. At screening, the results must be negative within 3 days 
before the first dose of ponatinib is administered. Monthly pregnancy testing (urine or serum) will be performed according to local standard of care while patient is receiving 
ponatinib. 
k Height and weight needed to assess growth. 
l The neurological assessment can be performed by the pediatric oncologist and includes the Modified “Balis” Pediatric Scale for peripheral neuropathy. 
m Growth charts and Tanner staging will be used for growth and development assessments. Other tests may be needed as clinically indicated. 
n ECGs must all be 12-lead ECGs. The baseline ECG should be performed at screening/baseline, or on Day 1, before ponatinib dosing. On Day 1, and thereafter as per the 
schedule in the reinduction and consolidation period, the ECG should be performed 4-6 hours after ponatinib administration. If medications known to prolong the QTcF interval 
are used while a patient is on study, then additional ECG monitoring should be performed as clinically indicated. On days when both an ECG and a blood draw is performed, the 
ECG should be done before the blood draw. 
o During follow-up, ECHO or MUGA will be performed yearly until end of study follow-up.

blasts/μL (ie, a WBC count of 10,000/μL with 10% blasts or a WBC count of 5000/μL with 20% blasts). Flow cytometry, cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization, or 
molecular studies can be used to confirm the type and subtype of acute leukemia. If a bone marrow sample (aspirate and/or biopsy) is used for the diagnosis of recurrence, a 
complete blood cell count should also be performed. 
s At screening, at the end of each treatment block and when clinically indicated. Bone marrow aspirate for MRD evaluation will be performed by a central laboratory (not 
applicable for patients with Ph-like ALL and MPAL). 
t For initial screening, if a bone marrow aspirate cannot be obtained, peripheral blood may be substituted to send for MRD probe development as long as there are at least 1000 
circulating blasts/μL (ie, a WBC count of 10,000/μL with 10% blasts or a WBC count of 5000/μL with 20% blasts). 
u Submission of peripheral blood samples to central laboratory to assess molecular mutations (eg, BCR-ABL1, IKZF1, CDKN2A/2B). Only 1 evaluation is needed before starting 
therapy: blood sample can be taken either at the screening/baseline visit or on Reinduction Block Day 1 prior to dosing, but not both. Blood samples should be taken post-protocol 
treatment at EOT1 before alternative therapy(ies) are given. For patients with Ph+ ALL for whom the investigator reports a relapse from complete remission, a peripheral blood 
sample should also be taken before alternative therapy(ies) are given and submitted to central laboratory to assess molecular mutations. 
v Not applicable for patients with Ph-like ALL and MPAL. 
w Administration of study treatment will also include diary review and study treatment verification. Ponatinib will be administered once daily throughout each 35-day block 
(Days 1-35). See Table 5 for details of study treatment administration. 
x Age-appropriate formulation only: After each dose of ponatinib taken on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of the reinduction block, a questionnaire will be provided to patient and 
parent/legal guardian. If the patient is too young to complete the survey, only the parent/legal guardian will be surveyed. In each case, site staff will record the verbal responses to 
the questions. 
y Ophthalmological examination to screen for corneal and retinal vascular pathology. 
z Hematology at Day 35 (±3 days) includes platelets and neutrophils to complete the investigator’s disease assessment for determination of complete remission prior to initiation 
of the consolidation block. (This assessment may be used as the same assessment for Day 1 of the consolidation block). Chemistry assessment at Day 35 is not required.  
aa Baseline samples will be tested immediately to confirm T315I mutation for patients requiring enrollment eligibility confirmation and communicated to the investigator. 
bb If relapse from complete remission is confirmed, results of the assessments used to confirm the relapse, including bone marrow assessment, and their date must be provided in 
the electronic data capture.

a EOT2 is 30 to 40 days after the last dose of ponatinib, or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy; EOT2 should be completed before alternative 
anticancer therapy(ies) are given. 
b Each patient will be followed for a minimum of 36 months after EOT1 visit or until patient withdrawal from study, whichever occurs first. For patients eligible 
to receive optional ponatinib continuation treatment, follow-up visits after EOT2 will occur at 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, 2 years, and then annually. If a 
patient refuses to return to the clinic for the scheduled long-term follow-up visits, information can be collected via telephone contact reports; however, this is not 
preferred (see Section 9.3.17). 
c For the first cycle of optional ponatinib continuation therapy only: Day 1 assessments need to be performed ONLY if 10 days or more have elapsed since the 
EOT1 visit. 
d The hematology and chemistry blood samples will be collected on Day 1 as well as at EOT2 and Follow-up. Hematology includes complete blood cell count 
with differential consisting of the following: hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocytes (WBCs), differential WBC count, and platelets. Machine counts are 
acceptable. The chemistry panel consists of the following: sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, chloride, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, direct bilirubin, alkaline 
phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, triglycerides, lipase, amylase, albumin, 
glucose, urate, calcium, phosphate, and magnesium. A local bone marrow aspirate and biopsy for morphology, cytogenetics, and flow cytometry should be done 
if clinically indicated. 
e To follow organ function and detect relapse. 
f A pregnancy test will be performed only for female patients of childbearing potential according to local standard of care. At initiation of therapy, the results 
must be negative within 3 days before the first dose of ponatinib is administered. Monthly pregnancy testing (urine or serum) will be performed according to 
local standard of care while patient is on ponatinib continuation therapy. 
g Height and weight needed to assess growth. 
h The neurological assessment can be performed by the pediatric oncologist and includes the Modified “Balis” Pediatric Scale for peripheral neuropathy. 
i The neurological assessment should be performed once a month during continuation therapy. 
j Growth charts and Tanner staging will be used for growth and development assessments. Other tests may be needed as clinically indicated. 
k ECGs must all be 12-lead ECGs. If medications known to prolong the QTcF interval are used while a patient is on study, then additional ECG monitoring 
should be performed as clinically indicated. On days when both an ECG and a blood draw is performed, the ECG should be done before the blood draw. During 
the optional ponatinib continuation therapy, ECGs may be performed more frequently if clinically indicated. During follow-up, ECGs will be performed yearly 
until the end of study follow-up. 
l During the optional continuation therapy, ECHOs or MUGAs may be performed more frequently if clinically indicated. During follow-up, ECHO or MUGA 
will be performed yearly until the end of study follow-up. 
m Lumbar puncture for cell count and cytospin cytology to be performed every 3 months while the patient is receiving optional continuation combination

Clinical research studies sponsored by the sponsor are subject to ICH GCP and all the applicable 
local laws and regulations. 
The investigator agrees to assume the following responsibilities: 
1. Conduct the study in accordance with the protocol. 
2. Personally conduct or supervise the staff who will assist in the protocol. 
3. If the investigator/institution retains the services of any individual or party to perform trial-
related duties and functions, the investigator/institution should ensure that this individual or 
party is qualified to perform those trial-related duties and functions and should implement 
procedures to ensure the integrity of the trial-related duties and functions performed and any 
data generated. 
4. Ensure that study-related procedures, including study-specific (nonroutine/nonstandard 
panel) screening assessments, are NOT performed on potential patients before the receipt of 
written approval from relevant governing bodies/authorities. 
5. Ensure that all colleagues and employees assisting in the conduct of the study are informed 
of these obligations. 
6. Secure prior approval of the study and any changes by an appropriate IRB/IEC that conform 
to local regulatory requirements. 
7. Ensure that the IRB/IEC will be responsible for initial review, continuing review, and 
approval of the protocol. Promptly report to the IRB/IEC all changes in research activity and 
all anticipated risks to patients. Make at least yearly reports on the progress of the study to 
the IRB/IEC, and issue a final report within 3 months of study completion. 
8. Ensure that requirements for informed consent, as outlined in ICH and local regulations, are 
met. 
9. Obtain valid informed consent from each patient who participates in the study, and document 
the date of consent in the patient’s medical chart. Valid informed consent is the most current 
version approved by the IRB/IEC. Each ICF should contain a subject authorization section 
that describes the uses and disclosures of a patient’s personal information (including personal 
health information) that will take place in connection with the study. If an ICF does not 
include such a subject authorization, then the investigator must obtain a separate subject 
authorization form from each patient or the patient’s parent or legal guardian. 
10. Prepare and maintain adequate case histories of all persons entered into the study, including 
eCRFs, hospital records, laboratory results, etc, and maintain these data for a minimum of 
2 years following notification by the sponsor that all investigations have been discontinued or 
that the regulatory authority has approved the marketing application. The investigator should 
contact and receive written approval from the sponsor before disposing of any such 
documents.

Appendix G Definition of CNS- 1/2/3 in CSF  
CNS-1: In CSF, absence of blasts on cytospin preparation, regardless of the number of WBCs.  
CNS-2: In CSF, presence <5/µL WBCs and cytospin positive for blasts, or ≥5/µL WBCs but 
negative by Steinherz/Bleyer^ algorithm in traumatic lumbar punctures. 
CNS-3: In CSF, presence of ≥5/μL WBCs and cytospin positive for blasts and/or clinical signs of 
CNS leukemia. 
Method of Evaluating Initial Traumatic Lumbar Punctures:  
If the patient has leukemic cells in the peripheral blood and the lumbar puncture is traumatic and 
contains ≥5 WBC/µL and blasts, the following algorithm should be used to distinguish between 
CNS-2 and CNS-3 disease: 
If CSF WBC ÷ CSF RBC >2 × blood WBC ÷ blood RBC, then patient has CNS-3 disease  
If CSF WBC ÷ CSF RBC <2 × blood WBC ÷ blood RBC, then patient has CNS-2 disease  
Example: CSF WBC = 60/μL; CSF RBC = 1500/μL; blood WBC = 46000/μL; blood RBC = 
3.0 × 106/μL: 0.04 >2× 0.015: Patient has CNS-3 disease.

Protocol Amendment 3 Summary and Rationale: 
This section describes the changes to the protocol incorporating Amendment 3. The primary 
reasons for this amendment are to: 
• Modify inclusion Criterion 1 and exclusion Criterion 3 relating to diagnosis to allow globally 
the inclusion of patients with Philadelphia chromosome–like acute lymphoblastic leukemia 
(Ph-like ALL). Patients with Ph-like ALL will not be included in efficacy analyses. 
• Define the second cohort (cohort 2) of the phase 1 portion of the study, including information 
on the composition of each weight group and the ponatinib dose assignment. 
• Revise the disease assessment at end of reinduction and consolidation blocks to add a visit at 
Day 35 (±3) for hematology assessment (for recovery of platelets and neutrophils). 
• Include administration and dosing information for the age-appropriate formulation that is 
now available. 
• Modify the medical management of elevated alanine aminotransferase. 
• Clarify the definition for dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) for liver toxicities given the liver 
toxicities observed in phase 1 cohort 1. 
In addition, the protocol was updated to: 
• Change a secondary objective (“to characterize BCR-ABL1 domain mutations both prior to 
and following ponatinib treatment”) to an exploratory objective and update the corresponding 
endpoint and analyses of molecular mutations to be performed. 
• Divide a secondary objective (“to describe the proportion of patients in continued complete 
remission (CR) or who achieve CR at the end of consolidation and the proportion of patients 
with minimal residual disease (MRD) status <0.01% at the end of each treatment block”) into 
2 objectives for clarity. 
• Revise the optional ponatinib continuation to extend beyond 12 months under specified 
conditions, remove the optional continuation phase monthly Day 14 visit, and add an 
investigator’s assessment of disease at the second end of treatment (EOT2) visit. 
• Provide information on clinical experience for phase 1 cohort 1. 
• Add the possibility that some study-related activities may be performed remotely.

• Correct in the schedule of events (SOEs) on which days the study treatment is administered. 
• Provide additional guidance to sites regarding: enrollment under T315I mutation eligibility 
criterion; method of disease diagnosis in patients with Ph-like ALL; study treatment; use of 
concomitant medications; mandatory/non-mandatory hepatitis testing and HIV testing; nature 
of bone marrow (BM) samples (aspirate and/or biopsy); timing of complete blood cell count 
and BM evaluation for CR assessment; timing of peripheral blood samples for molecular 
mutations during follow-up; results of the assessments used to confirm the relapse from CR 
and completed as clinically indicated; necessity to perform a complete blood cell count; 
chemistry parameters to be assessed; testing of baseline samples; threshold of platelet counts 
to start the consolidation block or optional continuation therapy; assessment of adverse event 
(AE) relationship; hospitalization or surgical procedures not considered as AEs; SAE follow-
up; reporting of drug exposure during pregnancy and birth events; method to assess the left 
ejection fraction; samples of BM not to be centrally assessed; patient population to be 
administered the palatability questionnaire; management of nonhematologic treatment-
related toxicities; frequency of follow-up visits for patients eligible to receive optional 
ponatinib continuation treatment; and timings of pharmacokinetic sample collection. 
• Clarify that the required number of patients in phase 1 of the study corresponds to DLT-
evaluable patients. 
• Clarify that patients with Ph-like ALL and Philadelphia chromosome-positive mixed 
phenotype acute leukemia will not be included in efficacy analyses. 
• Update the definition of progression-free survival event for death. 
• Correct or clarify the patients’ age for Karnofsky performance status scale and Lansky play 
scale. 
• Clarify that lumbar puncture for cell count and cytospin cytology is to be conducted while 
patient is receiving optional ponatinib continuation therapy if done in combination with 
intrathecal chemotherapy.

STUDY DESIGN 
This is a pivotal phase 1/2, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the 
safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy of ponatinib when administered in combination with 
multiagent chemotherapy in pediatric patients (aged ≥1 year to ≤21 years) with Ph+ ALL, 
Ph+ mixed phenotype acute leukemia, or Philadelphia chromosome–like ALL with targetable 
kinase-activating lesions and either (i) or (ii) as follows:  
(i) 
For non-US sites: Patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at 
least 1 prior therapy that contained a BCR-ABL1–targeted tyrosine-kinase 
inhibitor (TKI), OR 
For US sites: Patients who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to at least 
1 prior therapy that contained a second-generation BCR-ABL1–targeted TKI; OR 
(ii) 
Have a BCR-ABL1 T315I mutation. 
 
In both phase 1 and phase 2, eligible patients will receive two 35-day blocks of therapy 
(reinduction block and consolidation block). Each block will include 29 days of study treatment 
consisting of daily ponatinib and a modified UK ALL R3 chemotherapy backbone regimen and a 
rest period from chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 days consisting of daily ponatinib only. 
Disease assessment will occur at the end of each block. Patients will undergo an end of treatment 
(EOT) visit (EOT1) 25 to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment in the consolidation 
block, or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy or optional ponatinib 
continuation therapy. 
Patients completing protocol therapy and the EOT1 visit can proceed to alternate therapies not 
containing ponatinib as off-protocol therapy. Alternatively, eligible patients may receive optional 
ponatinib continuation therapy (either ponatinib monotherapy or combination therapy at the 
investigator’s discretion and with sponsor agreement) after completing the 2 blocks of study 
treatment and the EOT1 visit. Patients who receive optional continuation therapy with 
ponatinib/ponatinib-containing therapy will be followed per the schedule of events (SOE) and 
proceed to a second EOT visit (EOT2) 30 to 40 days after the last dose of ponatinib, or earlier, if 
the patient discontinues ponatinib/ponatinib-containing therapy sooner than 30 days. Patients 
who discontinue ponatinib before completing the consolidation block will be discontinued from 
study treatment and proceed to the EOT1 visit. All patients will be followed for at least 3 years 
from EOT1, with primary analysis performed approximately 6 months after the last patient has 
been enrolled.  
Phase 1 of the study (approximately 12 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)-evaluable patients) is a 
PK/safety lead-in phase for dose confirmation to establish the RP2D of ponatinib administered 
either as the tablet formulation or the AAF in combination with the chemotherapy backbone. The 
ponatinib doses evaluated in the phase 1 portion of the study were selected to target systemic 
exposures comparable to those achieved in adults receiving 15 (cohort 2) and 30 mg (cohort 1) 
once daily, based on the results of population PK modeling and simulation. A staggered 
enrollment is being applied. Phase 1 cohort 1 was initiated with the tablet formulation in patients

able to swallow solid oral dosage forms and weighing at least 30 kg as the AAF was not 
available during that enrollment period. As of protocol amendment 3, both the tablet formulation 
and AAF are available for use in phase 1.  
The PK, safety, and tolerability data from phase 1 will inform selection of the recommended 
dose of ponatinib for confirmatory evaluation of safety and efficacy in the phase 2 portion of the 
study. A rolling 6 design will be followed for all phase 1 cohorts. 
As of cohort 2 of phase 1, patients will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether 
the patient meets the criteria to be DLT-evaluable. DLT-evaluable patients must have received 
ponatinib doses on at least 70% of the reinduction block days (eg, 25 or more of the 35 days) per 
protocol or experienced a confirmed DLT. 
To determine the RP2D, a minimum of 6 DLT-evaluable patients in cohort 2 must complete the 
reinduction block. If 2 out of 6 patients experience a DLT, the study will be paused to determine 
further tolerability of this combination. For phase 1 cohort 2, approximately 6 DLT-evaluable 
patients with a body weight of at least 5 kg will be enrolled, with a minimum of 2 patients with a 
baseline body weight <30 kg. No more than 1 DLT-evaluable patient may be >16 years of age in 
cohort 2. All patients enrolled in cohort 2 under protocol amendment 3 and those enrolled under 
protocol amendment 4 will be assessed together in a single cohort for determination of DLTs and 
RP2D as defined in protocol amendment 4. Details of the RP2D determination process can be 
referred to Protocol Section 6.1. 
Upon review of patients treated in cohort 2, if dose level 1 is determined not to be tolerated or 
fails to achieve the desired target systemic exposures and RP2D is not confirmed with cohort 2, 
then no further cohorts are planned to be tested. 
The RP2D of ponatinib will be determined after evaluating the available safety and PK data from 
the first 6 patients enrolled in phase 1 cohort 2. Up to an additional 6 patients may be enrolled to 
further characterize the safety, PK, and preliminary efficacy of the RP2D of ponatinib before the 
start of phase 2. 
To provide quantitative summary of the clinical data from the patients completing phase 1 for the 
RP2D determination, a set of tables, listings, and figures (TLFs) will be presented for study 
team’s review. This includes, but not limited to, patient disposition, demographic and baseline 
characteristics, exposure and compliance, plasma pharmacokinetic parameters, summary of CR 
at the end of the reinduction block, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (drug-related or 
not), DLTs, TEAEs with National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (NCI CTCAE) severity Grade 3 or 4 (drug-related or not), treatment-emergent SAEs 
(drug-related or not), TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation, AESIs, signs and symptoms 
for Grade 3 or above AESIs, etc. The general data handling convention and analysis approach 
will follow corresponding sections in this SAP. 
Phase 2 of the study will enroll approximately 68 patients, including DLT-evaluable patients 
enrolled to phase 1 who completed the reinduction block and dosed at the RP2D. 
If RP2D cannot be derived from phase 1 data, study may not proceed to phase 2 and data will be  
summarized for phase 1 study only.

“equivalent” refers to adult equivalent/target dose. 
a Each block consists of 29 days of study treatment with ponatinib and chemotherapy followed by a chemotherapy 
rest period of a minimum of 6 days consisting of daily ponatinib only. Ponatinib should not be interrupted unless the 
patient has toxicity suspected to be related to ponatinib. 
b Patients will undergo evaluation for disease status at the end of the reinduction block and the consolidation block. 
Patients tolerating treatment at the end of the reinduction block will proceed to the consolidation block regardless of 
their remission status. 
c Patients will have their first EOT visit (EOT1) 25 to 30 days after last dose of ponatinib in the consolidation block, 
or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy or optional ponatinib continuation therapy. 
d Patients who receive optional continuation therapy containing ponatinib will have an additional EOT visit (EOT2) 
30 to 40 days after last dose of ponatinib, or earlier, if the patient is proceeding to alternate therapy. See Table 8.d in 
protocol amendment 4 for optional ponatinib continuation therapy regimen. Patients who are receiving clinical 
benefit from ponatinib treatment may continue therapy for a maximum of 12 months. If patients continue deriving 
clinical benefit after 12 months of optional continuation therapy, they may remain on ponatinib treatment if the 
investigator provides the evidence of clinical benefits and confirms with the sponsor.

The Wilson Score CI approach will be used for the sample size determination. The Wilson score 
interval is an improvement over the normal approximation interval in that the actual coverage 
probability is closer to the nominal value. Based on the Wilson Score CI approach, and assuming 
the null hypothesis for the CR rate =67%, and the alternative hypothesis for the CR rate=80%, 
based on simulation with 1,000,000 iterations, sample size of 68 patients will provide 81.5% 
power to reject the null hypothesis with the overall type I error controlled at a nominal level of 
0.1 (2-sided).

The null hypothesis of a 67% CR rate is based on the following justifications from 2 studies. In 
the first study with 87 adult patients (Ph+ ALL) treated with imatinib in combination with 
chemotherapy [1], 44 patients experienced a relapse, and of those, 19 (43.2%) achieved a second 
CR (CR2). We assume that the prior distribution control rate follows β (a, b), then the prior 
control CR2 rate = a/(a + b) = 19/(19 + 25) = 0.432. In another study with a total of 92 pediatric 
patients (Ph+ ALL) [2], treated with imatinib plus chemotherapy, of 34 relapsed patients with 
follow up data available, 24 (70.6%) achieved a CR2 (personal communication, 11 June 2019). 
Assuming that a CR2 event, x, follows a binomial (n, p) distribution, where x = 24, n = 34, then 
the estimated rate p = 24/34 = 0.71. As the CR2 posterior distribution follows β (a + x, n – x + 
b), the posterior CR2 rate = (a + x)/(n + a + b) = 0.5513. And the 95% credible interval for the 
CR2 rate will be (0.44, 0.66) = (44%, 66%). Considering the prior distribution control rate was 
based on adult data, we will take a conservative approach and assume that the control rate is no 
less than the 95% upper credible limit, ie, 67%.

Following the interim analysis results and application of the prespecified rules, the IDMC may 
recommend stopping the trial for futility or recommend continuing the trial with or without 
modifications. The sponsor’s Executive Committee will make final decisions based on the 
IDMC’s recommendations. 
6.10 
Data Monitoring Committee 
An IDMC comprised of a pediatric oncologist, pediatric hematologist, and a statistician will 
review safety and efficacy data at the planned primary analysis and at regular intervals outlined 
in the charter. The IDMC will review study data according to the IDMC charter. 
The IDMC will provide a recommendation regarding study continuation based on the safety and 
efficacy parameters. If the study is terminated early based on the IDMC recommendation, 
Takeda will notify the appropriate regulatory authorities. In addition, the IDMC will periodically 
review safety data at regularly scheduled meetings prespecified in the IDMC charter. 
Study accrual will not be interrupted because of the scheduled safety reviews. The IDMC or 
study team may request an ad-hoc meeting for any reason, including a significant unexpected 
safety event, follow-up of an observation during a planned IDMC meeting, or a report external to 
the study, such as publication of study results from a competing product. At each review, patient 
incidence rates of AEs (including all SAEs, treatment-related AEs, serious treatment-related 
events, and events requiring the discontinuation of study drug) will be tabulated by MedDRA, 
SOC, HLT, PT, and severity grade. Listings and/or narratives of on-study deaths and other 
serious and significant AEs, including any early withdrawals because of AEs, will be provided. 
Records of all meetings will be archived. The IDMC will communicate major safety concerns 
and recommendations regarding study modification or termination to Takeda. Additionally, the 
IDMC will receive regular listing updates on all SAEs and immediate notification of any deaths. 
Details of the IDMC (scope of functions and schedule) will be captured in its charter before the 
start of the study. Further details will be provided in the IDMC charter. 
A cardiovascular endpoint adjudication process may be implemented at any time throughout the 
study to determine if an AOE meets the definition for a major adverse cardiac event.

APPENDIX  
9.1 
Data Handling Conventions  
9.1.1 
Definition of Study Day 
Study Day 1 is defined as the date on which a subject is administered with their first dose of the 
study drug. Other study days are defined relative to the Study Day 1, as Study Day = Date of 
event - Date of the first dose + 1 day if date of event is on or after date of the first dose; Study 
Day=Date of event-Date of the first dose if date of event is before first dose date. 
9.1.2 
Missing/Partial Dates in Screening Visit 
The following rules apply to dates recorded during the screening visits.  
• If only the day-component is missing, the first day of the month will be used if the year and 
the month are the same as those for the first dose of study drug. Otherwise, the fifteenth will 
be used.  
• If only the year is present, and it is the same as the year of the first dose of study drug, the 
fifteenth of January will be used unless it is later than the first dose date, in which case the 
date of the first of January will be used, unless other data indicate that the date is earlier. 
• If only the year is present, and it is not the same as the year of the first dose of study drug, the 
fifteenth of June will be used, unless other data indicates that the date is earlier. 
9.1.3 
Missing Adverse Event Dates/Concomitant Therapies/Subsequent Therapies 
Every effort should be made to avoid missing/partial dates in on-study date. AEs with start dates 
that are completely or partially missing will be analyzed as follows: 
• If month and year are known but day is missing  
If month and year are the same as month and year of first dose date, then impute to first dose 
date  
If month and year are different than month and year of first dose date, then impute to first date of 
the month  
• If year is known but day and month are missing  
If year is same as year of 1st dose date, then 1st dose date will be used instead 
If year is different than year of 1st dose date, then 1st of January of the year will be imputed.  
If the start date of an event is completely missing, then it is imputed with 1st dose date. 
Imputing missing event start date is mandatory.

AEs with stop dates that are completely or partially missing will be analyzed as follows: 
•  If “ongoing” is checked, no imputation is necessary. 
 If month and year are known but day is missing, the last day of the month will be imputed  
 or the data cutoff date whichever is earlier If year is known, but day and month are missing, 
December 31st will be imputed 
 If all are missing, then impute date to 31st of December, in the year of last dose.  
Imputing missing AE stop date is not mandatory if AE is regarded as ongoing. If subject dies, 
then use death date for AE stop date.  
After the imputation, all imputed dates are checked against the start dates to ensure the stop date 
does not occur before start date. If the imputed stop date occurs prior to start date, then keep the 
imputed date the same as the start date.  
Concomitant medications/therapies with start dates that are completely or partially missing will 
be analyzed as follows: 
If month and year are known, but day is missing, then impute day to first of the month 
If year is known, but day and month are missing, then 1st of January of the year will be imputed 
– the last day of the month will be imputed ; or the data cutoff date whichever is earlier.   
–  
 If all is missing, then impute date to Date of Birth (DOB)  
If DOB is not available but age is available, then estimate DOB by using screening date and age 
(age = screening date – DOB)  
Concomitant therapies with stop dates that are completely or partially missing will be analyzed 
as follows: 
If “ongoing” is checked, no imputation is necessary. 
If month and year are known but day is missing, the last day of the month will be imputed  
If year is known but day and month are missing, then December 31st will be imputed  
If the date is completely missing, then impute date to 31st of December in the year of last dose  
If subject dies, then use death date for concomitant therapies stop date. After the imputation, all 
imputed dates are checked against the start dates to ensure stop date does not occur before start 
date. If the imputed stop date occurs prior to start date, then keep the imputed date same as the 
start date. 
Subsequent therapies with start date which is completely or partially missing will be analyzed as 
follows:

When month and year are present and the day of the month is missing,  
If the onset month and year are the same as the month and year of last dose with study drug, the 
day of last dose + 1 will be imputed.   
If the onset month and year are not the same as the month and year of last dose with study drug, 
the first day of the month is imputed.  
When only a year is present,  
If the onset year is the same as the year of last dose with study drug, the date of last dose + 1 will 
be imputed.   
If the onset year is not the same as the year of last dose with study drug, the first day of the year 
is imputed.  
If no components of the onset date are present the date of last dose + 1 will be imputed.
