About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether adding inotuzumab ozogamicin, a drug that targets cancer cells, to standard treatment keeps results the same or improves them for high-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It is for patients older than 1 year and younger than 25. It also studies treatment for mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy), without inotuzumab or blinatumomab.

This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy and immunotherapy (chemo-immunotherapy) for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, which is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets on the surface of cells. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody that is linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells by binding to the CD22 protein on the surface of the cancer cell and delivering calicheamicin inside the cells to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase or calaspargase pegol 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. Blinatumomab is a specialized type of monoclonal antibody known as a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE). It works by simultaneously binding to CD19 on cancer cells and CD3 on normal immune cells, bringing them together to destroy leukemia cells. Blinatumomab is a standard part of chemo-immunotherapy treatment for B-ALL. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin or blinatumomab. The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemo-immunotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first phase of therapy: Induction. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, to classify patients into post-induction treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients with HR B-ALL will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (consolidation, blinatumomab block 1, interim maintenance 1, blinatumomab block 2, delayed intensification, interim maintenance 2, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. The patients that receive inotuzumab will not receive part of consolidation or part of delayed intensification. Other aims of this study include evaluating 1) side effects of treatment using patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality of life, 2) the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens, 3) the relationship between levels of inotuzumab ozogamicin in the blood and side effects, 4) the impact of chemo-immunotherapy on the immune system and risk of infection, and 5) the impact of social determinants of health on outcomes. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

  • For B-ALL at ages 1–9, the white blood cell count must be at least 50,000 per microliter, unless leukemia affects the testicles or brain and spinal cord, or steroids were given before treatment. At ages 10–24, any count is allowed. MPAL allows any count.
  • B-LLy must be stage III or IV, or stage I or II with steroid treatment already given.
  • Patients with B-ALL or MPAL must first join APEC14B1 and agree to its eligibility tests. Suspected MPAL must be confirmed by the central testing team within 22 days. B-LLy patients may join directly.
  • Fluid around the brain and spinal cord must be collected before enrollment to check for leukemia, generally before chemotherapy.
  • Liver blood tests must meet study limits: direct bilirubin below 2.0 mg/dL and ALT no higher than 450 U/L. Exceptions apply for Gilbert’s syndrome or cancer in the liver.
  • The patient, parent, or legal guardian must sign a consent form.

Who can't join

  • Cannot have Down syndrome or known Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a nerve disorder.
  • Cannot have certain other cancers: acute undifferentiated leukemia, T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, lymphoma that cannot be classified or lacks both B-cell and T-cell markers, or mature B-cell ALL with a MYC gene change.
  • Cannot have had prior cancer-killing chemotherapy for this or an earlier cancer. Allowed exceptions are steroids and cytarabine given into the fluid around the spinal cord.
  • Cannot have received hydroxyurea for more than 72 hours during the week before study treatment, or need radiation at diagnosis.
  • Patients with B-ALL or MPAL cannot join without enough bone marrow for required testing or a blood sample with more than 1,000 leukemia cells per microliter.
  • Cannot be pregnant. A pregnancy test is required for patients who could become pregnant.
  • Cannot plan to breastfeed during the study or for 2 months after the last inotuzumab dose.
  • Sexually active patients who could conceive a child must agree to effective birth control during the study. After inotuzumab, this must continue for at least 8 months for females and 5 months for males.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * B-ALL and MPAL patients must be enrolled on APEC14B1 and consented to eligibility studies (Part A) prior to treatment and enrollment on AALL1732. Note that central confirmation of MPAL diagnosis must occur within 22 days of enrollment for suspected MPAL patients. If not performed within this time frame, patients will be taken off protocol. * APEC14B1 is not a requirement for B-LLy patients but for institutional compliance every patient should be offered participation in APEC14B1. B-LLy patients may directly enroll on AALL1732. * Patients must be \> 365 days and \< 25 years of age * Initial white blood cell count (WBC) criteria for patients with B-ALL (within 7 days prior to the start of protocol-directed systemic therapy): * Age 1-9.99 years: WBC \>= 50,000/uL * Age 10-24.99 years: Any WBC * Age 1-9.99 years: WBC \< 50,000/uL with one or more of the following: * Testicular leukemia * CNS leukemia (CNS3) * Steroid pretreatment. * Initial white blood cell count (WBC) criteria for patients with MPAL (within 7 days prior to the start of protocol-directed systemic therapy): * Age 1-24.99 years: any WBC NOTE: Patients enrolled as suspected MPAL but found on central confirmatory testing to have B-ALL must meet the B-ALL criteria above (age, WBC, extramedullary disease, steroid pretreatment) to switch to the B-ALL stratum before the end of induction. * Patient has newly diagnosed B-ALL or MPAL (by World Health Organization \[WHO\] 2016 criteria) with \>= 25% blasts on a bone marrow (BM) aspirate; * OR If a BM aspirate is not obtained or is not diagnostic of acute leukemia, the diagnosis can be established by a pathologic diagnosis of acute leukemia on a BM biopsy; * OR A complete blood count (CBC) documenting the presence of at least 1,000/uL circulating leukemic cells if a bone marrow aspirate or biopsy cannot be performed. * Patient has newly diagnosed B-LLy Murphy stages III or IV. * Patient has newly diagnosed B-LLy Murphy stages I or II with steroid pretreatment. * Note: For B-LLy patients with tissue available for flow cytometry, the criterion for diagnosis should be analogous to B-ALL. For tissue processed by other means (i.e., paraffin blocks), the methodology and criteria for immunophenotypic analysis to establish the diagnosis of B-LLy defined by the submitting institution will be accepted. * Central nervous system (CNS) status must be determined prior to enrollment based on a sample obtained prior to administration of any systemic or intrathecal chemotherapy, except for steroid pretreatment and cytoreduction. Note that once cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been collected, protocol therapy can be initiated while final determination of CNS status is pending. It is recommended that intrathecal cytarabine be administered at the time of the diagnostic lumbar puncture. This is usually done at the time of the diagnostic bone marrow or venous line placement to avoid a second lumbar puncture. This is allowed prior to enrollment. Systemic chemotherapy must begin within 72 hours of this intrathecal therapy. * Direct bilirubin \< 2.0 mg/dL (34 micromoles/L) * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 10x upper limit of normal (ULN). For the purposes of this study, the ULN for ALT is defined as 45 U/L * Exceptions to this include patients with known Gilbert's Syndrome, or those with hepatic involvement from leukemic or lymphomatous infiltration * All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent. * All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and NCI requirements for human studies must be met. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with Down syndrome are not eligible * With the exception of steroid pretreatment and steroid cytoreduction or the administration of intrathecal cytarabine, patients must not have received any prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for the current diagnosis of B-ALL, MPAL, or B-LLy or for any cancer diagnosed prior to initiation of protocol therapy on AALL1732. * Patients who have received \> 72 hours of hydroxyurea within one week prior to start of systemic protocol therapy. * Patients with B-ALL or MPAL who do not have sufficient diagnostic bone marrow submitted for APEC14B1 testing and who do not have a peripheral blood sample submitted containing \> 1,000/uL circulating leukemia cells. * Patients with acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) are not eligible. * For Murphy stage III/IV B-LLy patients, or stage I/II patients with steroid pretreatment, the following additional exclusion criteria apply: * T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. * Morphologically unclassifiable lymphoma. * Absence of both B-cell and T-cell phenotype markers in a case submitted as lymphoblastic lymphoma. * Patients with known Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. * Patients with known MYC translocation associated with mature (Burkitt) B-cell ALL, regardless of blast immunophenotype. * Patients requiring radiation at diagnosis. * Female patients who are pregnant, since fetal toxicities and teratogenic effects have been noted for several of the study drugs. A pregnancy test is required for female patients of childbearing potential. * Lactating women who plan to breastfeed their infants while on study and for 2 months after the last dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin. * Sexually active patients of reproductive potential who have not agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for the duration of study participation. For those patients randomized to inotuzumab ozogamicin, there is a minimum of 8 months after the last dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin for females and 5 months after the last dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin for males.
