Low-Intensity Chemotherapy and Blinatumomab in Treating Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Negative Relapsed or Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

NCT03518112

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well low-intensity chemotherapy and blinatumomab work in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, filgrastim, pegfilgrastim, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, cytarabine and vincristine sulfate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving low-intensity chemotherapy and blinatumomab may work better at treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To evaluate the combined effect of blinatumomab and mini-hyper-CVD (low-intensity
      chemotherapy) on event-free survival.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Evaluating other clinical efficacy endpoints (minimal residual disease [MRD] negativity,
      duration of response, the overall response rate [complete response (CR) + CR with inadequate
      count recovery (CRi)]) of the regimen occurred any time during the treatment.

      II. Overall survival. III. Determining the safety of the combination regimen.

      OUTLINE:

      INDUCTION PHASE: Patients receive blinatumomab intravenously (IV) continuously on days 1-28
      and dexamethasone orally (PO) or IV over 30 minutes on days -3 to day 0 and 7-10. Patients
      also receive filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) on days 1-42 or pegfilgrastim SC on days 1 and
      25, cyclophosphamide IV over 3 hours twice daily (BID) on days -3 to -1, methotrexate
      intrathecally (IT) on day 2 and IV over 24 hours on day 22, cytarabine IT on day 7 and IV
      over 3 hours BID on days 23 and 24, and vincristine sulfate IV over 15 minutes on days 0 and
      7. At the discretion of the treating physician, patients may receive rituximab IV over 4-6
      hours on days -3, 0, 22 and 29, and leucovorin calcium IV over 15 minutes or PO 4 times daily
      (QID) for 8 doses.

      CONSOLIDATION PHASE: Patients receive blinatumomab IV continuously on days 1-28 and
      dexamethasone PO or IV over 30 minutes on days 1-4 and 11-14. Patients also receive
      cyclophosphamide IV over 3 hours BID on days 1-3, vincristine sulfate IV over 15 minutes on
      days 1 and 11, filgrastim SC on days 1-4 and 22-42 or pegfilgrastim SC on day 5 and 25,
      methotrexate IT on day 2 and IV over 24 hours on day 22, cytarabine IT on day 7 and IV over 3
      hours BID on days 23 and 24. At the discretion of the treating physician, patients may
      receive rituximab IV over 4-6 hours on days 1, 8, 22 and 29, and leucovorin calcium IV over
      15 minutes or PO QID for 8 doses. Treatment repeats every 42 days for up to 3 cycles in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      MAINTENANCE PHASE: Patients receive prednisone PO and vincristine sulfate IV over 15 minutes
      on days 1-5 of cycles 5-9, 7-11 and 13-24, and mercaptopurine PO BID on days 1-28 of cycles
      1-5, 7-11, and 13-24. Patients also receive methotrexate PO once a week and blinatumomab IV
      continuously on days 1-28 of cycles 6 and 12. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 24 cycles
      (2 years) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Event free survival (EFS) where events defined as no response, loss of response, or death
Time Frame:From the first day of treatment assessed up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The median EFS time will be estimated by Bayesian posterior estimates, along with the 95% credible intervals. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and log rank test will be used to compare the differences in the time-to-event variables between subgroups (e.g. different patient characteristics).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be summarized using descriptive statistics, including means with standard deviations, or medians with ranges, histograms and box-plot.
Measure:Duration of response
Time Frame:From date on initial response assessed up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Defined as the number of days from the date of initial response (partial response [PR] or better) to the date of first documented disease progression/relapse or death. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and log rank test will be used to compare the differences in the time-to-event variables between subgroups (e.g. different patient characteristics).
Measure:Overall response rate
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:defined as the percentage of patients achieving complete response (CR) or CR with inadequate count recovery (CRi). Will be estimated along with 95% confidence interval. Overall response rate will be compared between subgroups (e.g. different patient characteristics) by Fisher's exact test and minimal residual disease difference will be assessed by Wilcoxon rank test, respectively.
Measure:Overall survival
Time Frame:Time from the first day of treatment assessed up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:defined as the time from treatment start till death or last follow-up. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and log rank test will be used to compare the differences in the time-to-event variables between subgroups (e.g. different patient characteristics).
Measure:Incidence of adverse events
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Toxicity will be reported by type, frequency and severity. Highest toxicity grades per patient per course will be tabulated for selected adverse events and laboratory measurements.
