Study summary

This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin works in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia with positive minimal residual disease. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody called inotuzumab linked to a toxic agent called ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin attaches to B cell-specific CD22 cancer cells in a targeted way and kills them.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin in patients B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in complete morphologic remission with positive minimal residual disease (MRD) in terms of relapse-free survival (RFS).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate other efficacy endpoints such as overall survival and MRD negativity rate by flow cytometry and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) overall and after the first cycle, as well as safety of inotuzumab ozogamicin in this setting.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive inotuzumab ozogamicin intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21-28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 day and then periodically every 6 months.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with B-lineage ALL in hematologic complete remission (CR) with molecular failure (ie, had never achieved an MRD-negativity status before inotuzumab ozogamicin) or had a molecular relapse (ie, became MRD positive after having been MRD negative) starting at any time point after 3 months of frontline therapy. Molecular disease or minimal residual disease is defined by any level of measurable residual disease identified by multicolor flow cytometry, PCR and/or next-generation sequencing (NGS).
  • Patients with B-lineage ALL in at least marrow CR in salvage 1 and beyond with MRD failure at any time point after 1 month of salvage therapy are allowed, including patients who received prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
  • Patients with Ph+ ALL can be enrolled in CR1 or CR2 and beyond. A TKI will be added at the discretion of the treating physician. MRD for these patients will be defined by either 1.) a ratio of BCR-ABL1 to ABL1 by PCR of ≥ 0.01% according to the International Scale for patients with p210 transcript or a ratio of BCR-ABL1 to ABL1 by PCR of ≥ 0.01% for patients with non-p210 transcripts, or 2.) detectable MRD at any level of measurable residual disease identified by multicolor flow cytometry and/or by NGS.
  • Performance status of 0, 1, or 2
  • Creatinine clearance >= 15 ml/min
  • Bilirubin \< 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 3 X ULN
  • No active or co-existing malignancy with life expectancy less than 12 months

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or nursing women
  • Known to be human immunodeficiency virus positive (HIV+)
  • Active and uncontrolled disease/infection as judged by the treating physician
  • Unable or unwilling to sign the consent form
  • Active central nervous system (CNS) or extramedullary disease
  • Monoclonal antibodies therapy within 2 weeks before study entry
  • Radiotherapy or cancer chemotherapy (except for intrathecal prophylaxis and/or low-dose maintenance therapy such as vinca alkaloids, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, steroids) or any investigational drug within 2 weeks before study entry

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Relapse-free survival (RFS)

    Time frame: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of adverse events

    Will continuously monitor treatment-related toxicities using the Bayesian approach of Thall, Simon, Estey. For the purpose of toxicity monitoring, toxicities are defined as any treatment-related grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic adverse events occurring any time during the trial.

    Time frame: Up to 4 years

  2. Overall survival

    Time frame: Up to 4 years

  3. Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate

    Time frame: Up to 4 years
