Azacitidine and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Infants With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and KMT2A Gene Rearrangement

NCT02828358

Description:

This pilot phase II trial studies the side effects of azacitidine and combination chemotherapy in infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and KMT2A gene rearrangement. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, prednisolone, daunorubicin hydrochloride, cytarabine, dexamethasone, vincristine sulfate, pegaspargase, hydrocortisone sodium succinate, azacitidine, cyclophosphamide, mercaptopurine, leucovorin calcium, and thioguanine work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

Purpose

This pilot phase II trial studies the side effects of azacitidine and combination chemotherapy in infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and KMT2A gene rearrangement. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, prednisolone, daunorubicin hydrochloride, cytarabine, dexamethasone, vincristine sulfate, pegaspargase, hydrocortisone sodium succinate, azacitidine, cyclophosphamide, mercaptopurine, leucovorin calcium, and thioguanine work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To evaluate the tolerability of azacitidine in addition to Interfant-06 standard
      chemotherapy in infants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with KMT2A
      gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To evaluate the biologic activity of azacitidine by pharmacodynamic assessment of global
      deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of
      infants treated with azacitidine.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the 5 year event-free survival (EFS) of infants with KMT2A-R treated with
      azacitidine in addition to Interfant-06 standard chemotherapy.

      II. To correlate minimal residual disease (MRD) with outcome in the context of the protocol
      therapy.

      III. To perform pharmacokinetic (PK) testing of azacitidine in infants. IV. To test the
      expansion of infant T lymphocytes by stimulation with artificial antigen presenting cells
      identical to those used in chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART)-19 production.

      V. To collect pharmacodynamic (PD) data for asparaginase activity following pegaspargase
      administration in infants.

      OUTLINE:

      22-23 for a total of 8 doses, and pegaspargase IV over 1-2 hours or IM on day 23 in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      AZACITIDINE BLOCK III: Prior to DELAYED INTENSIFICATION PART I, patients receive azacitidine
      as in AZACITIDINE BLOCK I.

      DELAYED INTENSIFICATION PART I: Following completion of AZACITIDINE BLOCK III, patients
      receive pegaspargase IV over 1-2 hours or IM on day 1, dexamethasone PO, NG, or IV TID on
      days 1-14 and 15-21 with a taper on days 15-21, thioguanine PO or NG daily on days 1-28,
      vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, daunorubicin hydrochloride IV
      over 1-15 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, cytarabine IV or SC on days 2-5, 9-12, 16-19, and
      23-26 and IT on days 1 and 15, and hydrocortisone sodium succinate IT on days 1 and 15 in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      AZACITIDINE BLOCK IV: Prior to DELAYED INTENSIFICATION PART II, patients receive azacitidine
      as in AZACITIDINE BLOCK I.

      DELAYED INTENSIFICATION PART II: Following completion of AZACITIDINE BLOCK IV, patients
      receive thioguanine PO or NG daily on days 1-14, cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30 minutes on
      days 1 and 15, cytarabine IV or SC on days 2-5 and 9-12 in the absence of disease progression
      or unacceptable toxicity.

      MAINTENANCE: Following DELAYED INTENSIFICATION PART II, patients receive mercaptopurine PO or
      NG on days 1-168, methotrexate IT on day 1 and 92 and PO once weekly on days 8-91 and 98-168,
      hydrocortisone sodium succinate IT on day 1, 57, and 99, and cytarabine IT on day 57.
      Starting on day 169, patients receive mercaptopurine PO or NG on days 1-84 and methotrexate
      PO once weekly. Cycles repeat every 84 days for 2 years from the start of INDUCTION
      CHEMOTHERAPY in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.
