Study summary

This prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label Phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the superiority of InO monotherapy vs ALLR3 after 1 cycle of induction treatment in paediatric participants (between 1 and \<18 years) with High Risk (HR) or very high risk (VHR) first bone marrow relapse CD22-positive BCP ALL, and to evaluate the safety and tolerability, PK and long-term efficacy. Treatment with study intervention will end after induction therapy; follow-up will continue for up to 5 years from randomization.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label, Phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the superiority of InO monotherapy vs ALLR3, after 1 cycle of induction treatment in paediatric participants (between 1 and \<18 years) with HR or VHR first bone marrow relapse CD22-positive BCP ALL, and to evaluate the safety and tolerability, PK and long-term efficacy. Treatment with study intervention will end after induction therapy; follow-up for efficacy and safety will continue for up to 5 years from randomization.

End of Treatment is defined as occurring upon recovery from 1 cycle of study therapy (Day 28 ± 2 days), or one day before initiation of new anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first.

Approximately 100 participants will be randomized (2:1) to receive 1 cycle of either InO monotherapy or ALLR3 (block 1) therapy during induction. Two interim analyses (approximately 50% and 75% enrollment) fort the primary outcome measure followed by a final analysis are planned to assess efficacy and futility (non-binding).

After completion of induction therapy (ie, study therapy), it is anticipated that the majority of responding participants will proceed immediately to consolidation therapy. Non-responders are expected to proceed with salvage therapy at the investigator's discretion. Participants responding to induction therapy are expected to proceed to SOC consolidation therapy upon recovery of blood counts, but no sooner than 7 days after last dose of study intervention.

All participants (responders and non-responders) will proceed to long-term follow-up for this study. All subsequent anticancer therapy will be determined by the treating physician.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Minimum Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity in participants achieving complete response (CR), complete response with incomplete platelet count recovery (CRp), or complete response with incomplete count recovery (CRi)

    MRD negativity status is determined based on the minimum MRD percentage between the date of CR/CRp/CRi and end of treatment test as assessed by RQ-PCR, with reflex to FC result if MRD is non-evaluable by RQ-PCR

    Time frame: After 1 treatment cycle: Day 28 +/- 2 days

  3. Rate of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)

    HSCT rate will be summarized by descriptive analyses (ie, percentage of participants who underwent HSCT after treatment).

    Time frame: Up to 5 years from randomization

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS will be summarized by treatment arm using Kaplan-Meier methods.

    Time frame: From start of treatment to date of death due to any cause: up to 5 years from randomization

  5. Number of participants reporting an Adverse Event (AE)

    The number and percentage of participants who experienced any AE, SAE (Serious Adverse Event), treatment related AE, and treatment related SAE will be summarized according to worst toxicity grades.

    Time frame: From time of informed consent up to a minimum of 60 calendar days after the last dose of study drug.

  6. Pharmacokinetics (PK) parameter: InO Cmax

    Descriptive summary statistics will be provided for InO serum concentrations at scheduled visits.

    Time frame: 1 treatment cycle: 28 days

  7. Number of Adverse Events (AE) reported by severity

    AEs will be graded by the investigator according to the CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) version 4.03.

    Time frame: From time of informed consent up to a minimum of 60 calendar days after the last dose of study drug.

  8. Pharmacokinetics (PK) parameter: InO trough levels

    Descriptive summary statistics will be provided for InO serum concentrations at scheduled visits.
