Purpose
The main goal of this study is to improve the outcome of children and adolescents with acute
lymphoblastic leukemia with high risk first relapse by optimization of treatment strategies
within a large international trial and the integration of new agents.
Detailed Description
Though survival of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has considerably improved
over the past few decades, relapsed ALL remains a leading cause of mortality in children with
cancer. Risk has been defined by the International (I) Berlin, Frankfurt, Münster (BFM) Study
Group (SG) based on duration of first remission, immunophenotype of malignant clone, and site
of relapse. Patients classified as high risk (HR) by these criteria have poor response rates
to standard induction therapy, high rates of subsequent relapse and require an allogeneic
hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for consolidation of 2nd remission. Over
the last decade members of the I-BFM-SG have investigated the use of different combinations
of conventional cytotoxic agents. Even with allo-HSCT, none of these approaches have improved
outcome above 40%. Therefore, for HR patients there is a need to investigate the curative
potential of new agents combined with systemic therapy. The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib
has shown synergistic activity with acceptable toxicity when combined with corticosteroids,
anthracyclines and alkylating agents in adult patients with cancer as well as with
dexamethasone, doxorubicin, vincristine and polyethylene glycol (PEG) asparaginase in
children with refractory or relapsed ALL. In the I-BFM-SG International Study for Treatment
of High Risk Childhood Relapsed ALL (IntReALL) HR 2010 study, the potential of Bortezomib
combined with a modified ALL relapse protocol 3 (R3) backbone as induction regimen for HR
patients to improve complete 2nd remission (CR2) rates will be investigated in a randomized
phase II design. Induction is followed by conventional intensive consolidation. After
termination of the trial patients may be subjected to an investigational window, before all
of them receive allo-HSCT.

Maximum Eligible Age: | 17 Years |

Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Rate of Complete Remission |
Time Frame: | Week 4 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Rate of complete second remission (CR2) quantified by cytology after induction with standard chemotherapy + bortezomib (arm B) compared with standard chemotherapy (arm A). |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Event-free Survival |
Time Frame: | Year 3 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Improvement of three years event-free survival (EFS) |
Measure: | Overall Survival |
Time Frame: | Year 3 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Improvement of three years overall survival (OS) |
Measure: | Minimal Residual Disease Reduction (MRD) |
Time Frame: | Week 4 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Improvement of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) reduction after induction with versus without bortezomib |
Measure: | Minimal Residual Disease Load |
Time Frame: | Week 15 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Improvement of MRD load prior to stem cell transplantation (SCT). |
Measure: | Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) |
Time Frame: | Week 15 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Prognostic relevance of MRD pre stem cell transplantation (SCT). MRD will be quantified before stem cell transplantation with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and will be related to EFS after SCT. Multicolour flow cytometry will be used in parallel with PCR. Flow cytometry is used instead of PCR if PCR based MRD-quantification cannot be performed, because criteria for a reliable and reproducible sensitive quantification are not fulfilled. |
Measure: | Complete Remission/Minimal Residual Disease Rates During Consolidation |
Time Frame: | Week 5, 8, 11, 15 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Improvement of CR2 and/or MRD rates during consolidation |
Measure: | Toxicity of induction classified with the COMMON TOXICITY CRITERIA (CTC) |
Time Frame: | At induction up to week 5 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Toxicity of induction with versus without bortezomib. Toxicity of the central nervous system and peripheral neuropathy will be classified with the COMMON TOXICITY CRITERIA (CTC). |
