Study summary

This study is a treatment protocol with blinatumomab for infants under 1 year old who are diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a specific unfavorable genetic alteration. The purpose of the study is to improve the outcome of this disease in infants.

Read the detailed description

All infants that are eligible for this study and for whom the parents/legal representatives give informed consent will be enrolled in this study. All patients will receive one cycle of blinatumomab on top of the standard treatment backbone after induction therapy. Medium risk patients, that respond well to the 1st cycle will be treated with a 2nd cycle of blinatumomab replacing one chemo course after consolidation therapy. If they do not respond well enough they will be treated according to the current treatment standard. Minimal residual disease will be used to determine the response to blinatumomab. High risk patients will be eligible for allogeneic stem cell transplantation after the first blinatumomab cycle if they are Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negative (defined as \< 0.01%). Also medium risk patients with insufficient MRD response after induction or after the 1st cycle of blinatumomab will be allocated to high risk treatment and will be eligible for allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients with newly diagnosed B- precursor ALL or B-cell MPAL (single lineage) according to the WHO classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues (revised 4th edition 2017), with KMT2A-rearrangement.
  2. ≤ 365 days of age at the time of diagnosis of ALL.
  3. Written informed consent of the parent(s) or other legally authorized guardian of the patient according to local law and regulations.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria for blinatumomab:

  1. KMT2A-wildtype patients.
  2. Multilineage MPAL
  3. T-ALL.
  4. Age > 365 days at the time of diagnosis.
  5. Down syndrome.
  6. Relapsed ALL.
  7. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids (equivalent prednisone >10 mg/m2/day) for more than one week and/or any chemotherapeutic agent in the 4-week interval prior to diagnosis. Patients who received corticosteroids by aerosol are eligible for the study.

If exclusion criteria for blinatumomab are met, the patient should be treated according to the protocol but without blinatumomab.

Study arms

  • Other
    Medium Risk (MR)

    Subject is defined as MR if \> 6months of age at diagnosis, OR \< 6 months of age with White Blood cell Count (WBC) \< 300 at diagnosis and good prednisone response. Subject gets 1st cycle of blinatumomab. If MRD is \>0.01%, after 1st cycle of blinatumomab, subject will be allocated to HR treatment from that phase, and will be eligible for HSCT. If MRD is undetectable or \< 0.01% after the 1st cycle of blinatumomab (TP2) patient will be eligible for replacement of MARMA by 2nd cycle of blinatumomab after receipt of lymphoid style consolidation (Protocol IB) or of myeloid style consolidation (ADE/MAE).

    Drug: Blinatumomab

  • Other
    High risk (HR)

    Subject is defined as HR if \< 6 months of age with WBC \> 300 at diagnosis OR poor prednisone response. Also MR patients with end of induction MRD ≥ 1%, or MRD \> 0.01% after the 1st cycle of blinatumomab, will be allocated to HR treatment. Subject gets 1 cycle of blinatumomab. Thereafter patient is eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with or without experimental therapy in an investigational window.

    Drug: Blinatumomab

Interventions

  • DrugBlinatumomab

    1st cycle: 15 μg/m2/day as a 4 week continuous IV infusion for patients with a M1 marrow. For patients with a M2/M3 marrow a step-dosing strategy is required with a dose of 5 μg/m2/day in week 1 followed by 15 μg/m2/day in weeks 2, 3, and 4.

    Also known as: Cycle 1

  • DrugBlinatumomab

    2nd cycle: 15 μg/m2/day as a 4 week continuous iv infusion

    Also known as: Cycle 2

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Event free survival (EFS).

    The primary endpoint is EFS, defined as the time from diagnosis to resistance to induction, relapse, death from any cause or second malignancy (whichever occurs first), or time to last follow-up (censored) for patients without events.

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    The endpoints for analysis by risk group will be EFS, cumulative incidence (or percentage) of resistance to induction, cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), death in complete remission (CR) and second malignancy.

    Time frame: 8 years

  2. Endpoints by risk group

    The endpoints for analysis by risk group will be EFS, cumulative incidence (or percentage) of resistance to induction, cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), death in complete remission (CR) and second malignancy.

    Time frame: 8 years

  3. Outcome for the entire study cohort and according to risk group

    Outcome for the entire study cohort and according to risk group will be evaluated in terms of the protocol specific definition of EFS follows: the time from diagnosis to, resistance to proto-col, relapse, death from any cause or second malignancy (whichever occurs first), or time to last follow-up for patients without events. Cumulative incidence (or percentage) of resistance, CIR, death in CR and second malignancy will also be estimated.

    Time frame: 8 years

  4. Minimal Residual Disease

    MRD response as defined in the protocol and frequencies of MRD levels

    Time frame: 8 years

  5. CD19 (cluster of differentiation antigen 19) negative relapse

    Proportion of CD19 negative relapses in the entire study cohort and according to risk group

    Time frame: 8 years

  6. Myeloid lineage switches

    Proportion of myeloid lineage switches in the entire study cohort and according to risk group

    Time frame: 8 years

  7. Grade ≥3 adverse event

    Proportion of grade ≥3 adverse event (AEs) during the blinatumomab course(s). Proportion of adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) in all protocol phases.

    Time frame: 8 years

  8. Grade ≥2 cardiac disorders

    Proportion of grade ≥2 cardiac disorders at 2 and 5 years after diagnosis

    Time frame: 5 years

  9. Overall survival after 1st relapse

    Overall survival (OS) after first relapse, defined as the time from first relapse to death from any cause, in the entire study cohort and according to risk group

    Time frame: 8 years
