Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Blinatumomab in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Recurrent, or Refractory CD22-Positive B-Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

NCT03739814

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab work in treating patients with CD22-positive B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is newly diagnosed, has come back, or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Purpose

This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab work in treating patients with CD22-positive B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is newly diagnosed, has come back, or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

             prior to registration; the bone marrow sample should be from the first aspiration
             (i.e. first pull). Aspirate needle should be redirected if needed to get first pull
             bone marrow aspirate. It should be initiated as soon as possible after
             pre-registration. The specimens should be sent to the HEME Biobank.

                       line placement) to avoid a second lumbar puncture. If the dose is
                       administered prior to registration, then systemic chemotherapy must begin

             hybridization (FISH), and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR). If any test is positive
             for Philadelphia chromosome/BCR-ABL1, then the patient is ineligible.

          -  No active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia (i.e. only CNS-1 disease allowed).
             Active CNS leukemia is defined as morphologic evidence of lymphoblasts in the

             registration, and/or known asymptomatic parenchymal CNS mass lesions; see below for
             additional guidance. Prophylactic intrathecal medication alone is not an exclusion.

               -  Categories of CNS Involvement for CNS Evaluation Prior to Registration:

                       RBC/uL, >= 5 WBC/uL and positive by Steinherz/Bleyer algorithm (see below);
                       or clinical signs of CNS leukemia (such as facial nerve palsy, brain/eye

                            lumbar puncture is traumatic and contains >= 5 WBC/uL with blasts, the
                            following algorithm should be used to define CNS disease: CSF WBC/CSF
                            RBC > 2 x (Blood WBC/Blood RBC count)

          -  Patients with known or suspected testicular involvement by leukemia are allowed
