AALL1732: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (IND#:133494 NSC#: 772518) for Newly Diagnosed High-Risk B-ALL; Risk-Adapted Post-Induction Therapy for High-Risk B-ALL Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia and Disseminated B-LLy
This is a Children's Oncology Group (COG) phase 3 trial for children (ages 1-25 years) newly diagnosed with high risk B-lymphoblastic leukemia (HR B-ALL), mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or disseminated (Murphy stage III or IV) B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy). Patients with HR B-ALL will be stratified into HR favorable B-ALL (HR-Fav) or HR B-ALL. The primary aim of this study is to assess in a randomized fashion whether or not the incorporation of two cycles of inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) into a modified Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (mBFM) chemotherapy backbone will improve disease-free survival. InO is an antibody drug conjugate composed of a humanized IgG monoclonal CD22-targeted antibody linked to calicheamicin, a potent antitumor antibiotic. Patients in the other groups will not receive InO but instead will receive mBFM with one interim maintenance (HR-Fav) or two interim maintenance (MPAL and B-LLy) phases. Maintenance duration will be two years following consolidation for all patients regardless of sex.
AALL1821: A Phase 2 Study of Blinatumomab (NSC# 765986 IND# 125462) in Combination with Nivolumab (NSC# 748726 IND# 125462) a Checkpoint Inhibitor of PD-1 in B-ALL Patients Aged >/=1 to
The purpose of the study is to study the effect of nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab compared to blinatumomab alone in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back (relapsed). Down syndrome patients with relapsed B-ALL are included in this study. Blinatumomab is an antibody, which is a protein that identifies and targets specific molecules in the body. Blinatumomab searches for and attaches itself to the cancer cell. Once attached, an immune response occurs which may kill the cancer cell. Nivolumab is a medicine that may boost a patient's immune system. Giving nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab may cause the cancer to stop growing for a period of time, and for some patients, it may lessen the symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer.
AALL2131: An International Pilot Study of Chemotherapy and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors with Blinatumomab in Patients with Newly-Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive or ABL-class Philadelphia Chromosome-Like B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This pilot trial assesses the effect of the combination of blinatumomab with dasatinib or imatinib and standard chemotherapy for treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) or ABL-class Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Blinatumomab is a bispecific antibody that binds to two different proteins-one on the surface of cancer cells and one on the surface of cells in the immune system. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system to help fight infections and other harmful processes/cells/molecules. Blinatumomab may bind to the cancer cell and a T cell (which plays a key role in the immune system's fighting response) at the same time. Blinatumomab may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells by activating the body's own immune cells to destroy the tumor. Dasatinib and imatinib are in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Giving blinatumomab and dasatinib or imatinib in combination with standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with Ph+ or Ph-like ABL-class B-ALL than dasatinib or imatinib with chemotherapy.
AAML1831: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial for Patients with de novo AML Comparing Standard Therapy Including Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO) to CPX-351 with GO and the Addition of the FLT3 Inhibitor Gilteritinib for Patients with FLT3
This phase III trial compares standard chemotherapy to therapy with CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia with or without FLT3 mutations. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, 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. CPX-351 is made up of daunorubicin and cytarabine and is made in a way that makes the drugs stay in the bone marrow longer and could be less likely to cause heart problems than traditional anthracycline drugs, a common class of chemotherapy drug. Some acute myeloid leukemia patients have an abnormality in the structure of a gene called FLT3. Genes are pieces of DNA (molecules that carry instructions for development, functioning, growth and reproduction) inside each cell that tell the cell what to do and when to grow and divide. FLT3 plays an important role in the normal making of blood cells. This gene can have permanent changes that cause it to function abnormally by making cancer cells grow. Gilteritinib may block the abnormal function of the FLT3 gene that makes cancer cells grow. The overall goals of this study are, 1) to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of CPX-351 with daunorubicin and cytarabine on people with newly diagnosed AML to find out which is better, 2) to study the effects, good and/or bad, of adding gilteritinib to AML therapy for patients with high amounts of FLT3/ITD or other FLT3 mutations and 3) to study changes in heart function during and after treatment for AML. Giving CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib with standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to standard chemotherapy alone.
