Clinical Trial Summary
This phase III trial studies how well blinatumomab works in combination with chemotherapy in
treating patients with newly diagnosed, standard risk B-lymphoblastic leukemia or
B-lymphoblastic lymphoma with or without Down syndrome. Monoclonal antibodies, such as
blinatumomab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the
ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as vincristine,
dexamethasone, prednisone, prednisolone, pegaspargase, methotrexate, cytarabine,
mercaptopurine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and thioguanine, 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. Leucovorin decreases the toxic effects of methotrexate.
Giving monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. Giving
blinatumomab and combination chemotherapy may work better than combination chemotherapy alone
in treating patients with B-ALL. This trial also assigns patients into different chemotherapy
treatment regimens based on risk (the chance of cancer returning after treatment). Treating
patients with chemotherapy based on risk may help doctors decide which patients can best
benefit from which chemotherapy treatment regimens.
Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine in a randomized manner if the addition of 2 cycles of blinatumomab to
standard therapy improves disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with standard risk (SR)
B-ALL and higher risk features (SR-High), and patients with standard-risk average (SR-Avg)
B-ALL who are negative for minimal residual disease (MRD) by flow cytometry but have
detectable or indeterminate MRD as measured by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) at end of
induction (EOI).
II. To confirm that boys in the standard-risk favorable (SR-Fav) subset of B-ALL, with or
without Down syndrome (DS), will maintain a 5-year DFS of greater than 93% when treated with
a standard chemotherapy regimen with a treatment duration of 2 years from the start of
interim maintenance I (IM1).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the DFS for patients with SR-Avg B-ALL who are negative for MRD measured by
flow cytometry and HTS at EOI when treated with standard chemotherapy with a treatment
duration of 2 years from the start of IM1, regardless of sex.
II. To describe the DFS for patients with standard-risk favorable (SR-Fav) B-ALL when treated
with a standard chemotherapy regimen.
III. To determine if patients with DS-High achieve a reduction of treatment-related mortality
(TRM) after replacement of intensive elements of standard chemotherapy (omission of
anthracyclines in induction, omission of the second month of delayed intensification [DI])
with 3 cycles of blinatumomab.
IV. To describe the DFS characterized by the replacement of intensive elements of standard
chemotherapy with 3 cycles of blinatumomab in patients with DS-High B ALL.
V. To describe the DFS for patients with localized (Murphy stage I and II) B lymphoblastic
lymphoma (B-LLy) receiving standard risk B-ALL therapy.
VI. To compare the change in neurocognitive functioning, as measured by the CogState
Cognitive Composite, from baseline to end-of-therapy among patients with ALL ages 4- < 10
years at the time of diagnosis between children from poor families (defined as presence of
household material hardship [HMH], including either food, housing or energy insecurity) and
non-poor families (absence of HMH).
VII. To describe the impact of blinatumomab on caregiver burden and patient/proxy-reported
symptoms among a subset of children enrolled in the HMH and neurocognitive outcome study.
VII. To evaluate available peripheral blood (PB) samples at EOI using HTS MRD and compare the
results against bone marrow (BM) results.
IX. To evaluate available end of Consolidation (EOC) BM samples using HTS in patients who
were Day 29 MRD positive by flow cytometry and who have submitted EOC BM flow cytometry
results.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore adaptive and innate immune functions and host genetic factors associated with
severe infectious complications in children with DS B-ALL.
II. To explore the impact of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its therapy on
neurocognitive, functional, and quality of life outcomes in patients with DS and ALL, as
measured by caregiver (parent/legal guardian) questionnaires.
III. To define the prevalence of minimal marrow disease (MMD) in B-LLy and to correlate MMD
at diagnosis with outcome in patients with B-LLy.
