Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this prospective, open-label, single-center study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VEN-AZA (venetoclax and azacytidine) followed by modified BUCY (busulfan and cyclophosphamide) as conditioning regimen for high-risk or relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Description:

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is the only potentially curative therapy for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, relapse remains a leading cause for treatment failure after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients, optimization of conditioning regimen can improve prognosis and decrease relapse. Abnormal gene methylation is common in ALL patients. Azacytidine is a DNA methylation transferase inhibitor that can re-express tumor suppressor genes in leukemia cells. Venetoclax is a selective BCL-2 inhibitor, which has antitumor activity against a variety of hematological malignancies. The combination of the two drugs show a synergistic anti-tumor effect. Multiple case reports the efficacy of Venetoclax-based regimens in patients with ALL is encouraging. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of VEN-AZA bridging allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of high-risk ALL.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	disease-free survival (DFS)	It is measured from the time from randomization to the first of relapse or death.	3 years after transplantation
Primary	overall survival (OS)	It is measured from the time of entry into this trial to the date of death from any cause; patients not known to have died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last known to be alive.	3 years after transplantation
Secondary	veno-occlusive disease (VOD)	incidence of veno-occlusive disease (VOD) events (refer to modified Seattle Criteria of VOD)	3 years after transplantation
Secondary	graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)	incidence and severity of acute (aGvHD) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) (aGvHD refer to Glucksberg Criteria and cGvHD refer to the National Institutes of Health Consensus)	3 years after transplantation
Secondary	transplant related mortality (TRM)	cumulative incidence of transplant related mortality	3 years after transplantation
Secondary	Regimen related toxicity	Number of participants with regimen related toxicity as assessed by CTCAE v4.0	3 years after transplantation
