PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine in a randomized manner if the addition of 2 blocks of inotuzumab ozogamicin
to modified Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (mBFM) chemotherapy will improve 5-year disease-free
survival (DFS) in children and young adults with high-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic
leukemia (HR B-ALL).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the 5-year DFS for a favorable risk subset of National Cancer Institute (NCI)
HR B-ALL (HR-Fav) when treated with mBFM chemotherapy with a single high-dose methotrexate
(HD-MTX) interim maintenance (IM) phase and treatment duration of 2 years from the start of
IM regardless of sex.
II. To determine the toxicity and tolerability of inotuzumab ozogamicin integrated into the
mBFM chemotherapy backbone in HR B-ALL.
III. To describe the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) for patients with mixed phenotype acute
leukemia (MPAL) receiving mBFM HR B-ALL therapy that includes a second IM phase with Capizzi
intravenous (IV) methotrexate (MTX) without leucovorin rescue plus pegaspargase (C-MTX).
IV. To describe the 5-year EFS for patients with disseminated (Murphy stage III-IV) B-cell
lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) receiving mBFM HR B-ALL therapy that includes a second IM
phase with C-MTX.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the therapy administered, disease response, and survival outcomes of patients
with MPAL who come off protocol therapy due to poor disease response to ALL therapy either
during Induction, at end of induction (EOI), or at end of consolidation (EOC).
II. To define the prevalence and significance of minimal marrow disease (MMD) at diagnosis
and bone marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) at EOI in disseminated B-LLy.
III. To determine the impact of proposed adherence-enhancing interventions on adherence to
oral 6-mercaptopurine in patients with ALL.
OUTLINE: All patients receive the same Induction and Consolidation chemotherapy. Patients
with HR-Fav B-ALL are assigned to Arm I. Patients with HR B-ALL are randomized to Arm II or
