Clinical Trial Summary

This phase Ib/II clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax and how well it works when given together with vincristine liposomal in treating patients with T-cell or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine liposomal, 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. Giving venetoclax together with vincristine liposomal may work better in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose of venetoclax in combination with vincristine liposomal (liposomal vincristine) in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). (Phase I) II. Safety assessment and toxicity characterization after treatment of venetoclax in combination with liposomal vincristine in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell and B-cell ALL. (Phase I) III. To determine the preliminary efficacy of venetoclax in combination with liposomal vincristine to induce complete remission (CR) by day 70 in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell and B-cell ALL. (Phase II) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the progression free survival, overall survival and toxicity after the combination treatment in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell and B-cell ALL. (Phase II) TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if genetic signature as determined by next generation sequencing can predict response to combination. (Phase II) II. To determine if immunophenotype of ALL is associated with response to combination. (Phase II) III. To determine if the BH3 profile is associated with response to combination. (Phase II) IV. To determine if relative expression of BCL-2 measure by flow cytometry is associated with response to combination. (Phase II) OUTLINE: This is a phase Ib, dose-escalation study of venetoclax, followed by a phase II study. Patients receive venetoclax orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-42 of course 1 and days 43-70 of course 2. Patients also receive vincristine liposomal intravenously (IV) weekly for 4 weeks starting on day 14 of course 1. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 5 years.

Primary Complete remission (CR) + complete remission incomplete (CRi) rate (Phase II) A 95% confidence interval will be computed. Up to 70 days
Secondary Progression free survival (PFS) Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the median PFS along with its corresponding 95% confidence interval will be reported. From study registration to documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
Secondary Overall survival (OS) Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the median OS along with its corresponding 95% confidence interval will be reported. From study registration to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years

Logistic regression models will be used to investigate the association of the BCL-2 expression at baseline and immunophenotype with response (CR/CRi/partial remission [PR] versus [vs.] others by 70 days). Multivariable Cox PH modelling and logistic regression modelling will also be used to adjust for the effect of covariates that are possibly associated with these efficacy outcomes Baseline up to 5 years
