Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with usual combination chemotherapy (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate [Oncovin], cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride [hydroxydaunorubicin hydrochloride], or "EPOCH") in treating adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma. Lenalidomide may help shrink or slow the growth of adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin, 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. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as prednisone lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Giving lenalidomide and the usual combination chemotherapy may work better in treating adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma compared to the usual combination chemotherapy alone.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the safest and most tolerable dose and schedule of lenalidomide to combine with etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate (Oncovin), cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride (hydroxydaunorubicin hydrochloride) (EPOCH) chemotherapy in adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL/ATLL). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. II. To determine if lenalidomide and EPOCH activity results in significant improvement in remission rates, duration of remissions, and overall survival (OS) as compared to historical controls. III. To determine if lenalidomide and EPOCH activity correlates with T-cell receptor (TCR) pathway gene mutational spectrum. IV. To determine effects of lenalidomide and EPOCH on human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) proviral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) loads. V. To determine effects of lenalidomide and EPOCH on HTLV-1 clonality. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of lenalidomide. INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-14 of 21 day cycles or days 1-21 or 1-28 of 28 day cycles. Patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride intravenously (IV) continuously on days 1-4, vincristine sulfate IV continuously on days 1-4, etoposide IV continuously on days 1-4, prednisone PO on days 1-5, and cyclophosphamide IV over 1-4 hours on day 5. Treatment repeats every 21 or 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) may receive up to 2 additional cycles of lenalidomide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, etoposide, prednisone, and cyclophosphamide at the discretion of the investigator and/or up to an additional 2 years of lenalidomide in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo bone marrow biopsy at baseline and as clinically indicated. Patients undergo positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) or CT, tissue and blood sample collection throughout the trial. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years from end of induction. Patients who do not continue on lenalidomide maintenance are followed every 3 months for up to 2 years from the end of induction, progression, withdrawal, or until death, whichever occurs first.

Immunodulatory derivative (immunomodulatory imide drug [IMiD]) agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic. Females of child-bearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 10-14 days prior to, and again within 24 hours of starting lenalidomide, and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin two acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method at the same time, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy. All patients must be counselled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risk of fetal exposure. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner are participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. FCBP must use adequate contraception for at least 28 days after discontinuation from study. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and for at least 28 days after discontinuation from study - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Participants with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be eligible Exclusion Criteria: - Patients that have received prior IMiDs for treatment of ATLL - Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study - Patients who have not recovered to grade 1 or better from adverse events (AEs) due to prior anti-cancer therapy (not including Cycle 1 of EPOCH, CHOP, or CHOPE if received off protocol) within 14 days prior to enrollment, with the exception of alopecia - Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents or have received them within 14 days prior to enrollment - History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to lenalidomide or other agents used in study. Anaphylactic reactions including death have been reported with cyclophosphamide. Possible cross-sensitivity with other alkylating agents can occur - Patients unable to take aspirin or prophylactic doses of low molecular weight heparin or direct oral anticoagulants - Patients with urinary outflow obstruction (contraindication for cyclophosphamide) - Patients with any form of demyelinating disease should not be given vincristine sulfate injection - Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness - Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements - Pregnant women are excluded from this study because lenalidomide is an IMiD agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with lenalidomide, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with lenalidomide. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) Will determine the MTD for lenalidomide in combination with etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate (Oncovin), cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride (hydroxydaunorubicin hydrochloride) (EPOCH) chemotherapy. Up to the end of induction therapy
Secondary Overall response rate Will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Binomial proportions and their 95% confidence intervals will be used to estimate the response rates of therapy. Up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
Secondary Duration of response Will be summarized using descriptive statistics. The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to evaluate the response duration. From the time measurement criteria are met for complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented, assessed up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
Secondary Progression-free survival Profession-free survival will be determined by the number of weeks from the time of initiation of therapy until there is evidence of tumor progression by acute T-cell leukemia (ATL) response criteria of Tuskasaki, 2009. Up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
Secondary Overall survival Over survival will be determined by the number of week of weeks from the time of initiation of therapy until death. Up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
Secondary T-cell receptor pathway gene mutational spectrum T-cell receptor pathway gene mutation will be determined by targeted next-generation sequence after hybridization to specific oligonucleotide capture probes corresponding to the sequence most commonly mutation in ATL as defined by Kataoka et al, 2015. Up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
Secondary Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) proviral deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid loads Analysis of variance methods will be used to evaluate the effects of treatment and time on the viral load measurements, as well as measurements of viral transcripts. Up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
Secondary HTLV-1 clonality HTLV-1 clonality will be determined by next generation sequence analysis of viral integration sites resulting in a distribution of the number of reads for each integration site plotted per integration site, as described by Gillet et al. 2011. Up to 2 years after completion of study treatment
Secondary Incidence of toxicities The incidence of toxicities will be estimated using the binomial proportion and its 95% confidence interval. Up to the end of induction therapy
