Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This research study will add an anti-cancer drug (called inotuzumab ozogamicin also known as "InO") to treatment for participants with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Doctors leading this study hope to learn if adding InO to standard induction treatment for Ph+ ALL will lead to quicker, complete molecular remission (where the disease is not detectable even with very sensitive testing techniques). The purpose of this research is to gather information regarding the effectiveness of InO in newly-diagnosed Ph+ ALL patients that have not yet received treatment.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Treatment Arm - Induction/Consolidation Phase - All Participants

All participants in this arm will receive the same first round of treatment as part of induction/consolidation therapy. This treatment will use inotuzumab ozogamicin combined with anti-cancer drugs. The additional treatment that participants receive after this first round of treatment will vary based on the participant's response to induction therapy. This phase of treatment will last for 60 days. All participants in this arm will receive the following treatment: Treatment Course I (Induction Phase, 28 days): Dasatinib 140mg daily continuous Dexamethasone 10mg/m^2 PO or IV Days 1-7 and Day 15-Day 22 InO 0.8mg/m2 Day 8; 0.5mg/m2 D15, 0.5mg/m2 Day 22 Intrathecal methotrexate 15mg Day 1, Day 28 Treatment Course II (Consolidation Phase, 28 days): Dasatinib 140mg daily continuous InO: If in CR/CRi 0.5mg/m2 Day 1, Day 8, Day 15; If not in CR/CRi 0.8mg/m2 on Day 1, 0.5mg/m2 Day 8 and Day 15 Intrathecal methotrexate 15mg Day 1, Day 28

  • Drug: Methotrexate for Injection
    Methotrexate is a chemotherapy drug that is used to treat certain types of cancer and leukemia.

  • Otrexup™, Rasuvo®, Rheumatrex® and Trexall™. MTX, Amethopterin, and Methotrexate Sodium
  • Experimental: Treatment Arm - Interim/Maintenance Phase - Participants in CMR

    This study arm is for participants who no longer show any detectable signs of BCR-ABL1 (a cancer-causing gene) in response to the previous phase of induction/consolidation treatment (also known as being in "complete molecular remission" or CMR). Participants in this arm will receive 3 courses of interim/maintenance treatment using dasatinib combined with other anti-cancer drugs. Inotuzumab ozogamicin will be added during the fourth course of treatment. These treatments will be given in 28-day and 84-day cycles. If the participant achieves complete molecular remission (no signs of BCR-ABL gene) after 60 days (or more) of treatment, then the treating physician may take the participant off the study for allogenic stem cell transplantation surgery. If the participant does not undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation after achieving complete molecular remission, they will complete 3 additional courses of maintenance treatment.

    A procedure in which a patient receives healthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) from a donor to replace their own stem cells that have been destroyed by treatment with radiation or high doses of chemotherapy. In an allogeneic stem cell transplant, the healthy stem cells may come from the blood or bone marrow of a related donor who is not an identical twin of the patient or from an unrelated donor who is genetically similar to the patient. An allogeneic stem cell transplant is most often used to treat blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, and certain types of blood or immune system disorders.

    Experimental: Treatment Arm - Interim/Maintenance Phase - Participants Not in CMR

    This study arm is for participants whose cancer responded to induction/consolidation treatment, but still shows detectable signs of BCR-ABL1 (a cancer-causing gene), so they are not in complete molecular remission. Participants in this arm will receive 3 courses of treatment using ponatinib combined with other anti-cancer drugs. Inotuzumab ozogamicin will be added during the 4th treatment course. These treatments will be given in 28-day and 84-day cycles. If the participant achieves complete molecular remission (no signs of BCR-ABL gene) after 60 days (or more) of treatment, the treating physician may take the participant off the study for allogenic stem cell transplantation surgery. If the participant does not undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation after achieving complete molecular remission (CMR), they will complete 3 additional courses of maintenance treatment. If the participant doesn't achieve CMR after 4th treatment course, they will be removed from the study.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants Who Enter Complete Clinical Remission at 60 Days as Defined by Criteria Set By The International Scale [60 days]

      Complete clinical remission (when there are no signs of the disease) with a major molecular remission at 60 days as defined by participants who have a low ratio (less than or equal to .01%) of BCR-ABL1gene in their blood, according to criteria set by the International Scale for p210 BCR-ABL1.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Survival [36 months]

      The length of time from when the participant first receives study treatment to their death (due to any cause) as assessed by the treating investigator. Participants will be followed for 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug, until any study treatment-related toxicities have stabilized, or until death.

    2. Duration of Response [36 months]

      The length of time from the first documented complete response (participant shows no signs of cancer) or partial response (participant shows fewer signs of cancer) to disease progression or death. Partial/complete response will be assessed by bone marrow biopsies and blood tests.

    3. Duration of Complete Response [36 months]

      The length of time from the first documented complete response (when participant shows no signs of cancer) to disease progression or death as assessed by the treating investigator.

    4. Progression Free Survival [36 months]

      The time from treatment administration to documented disease progression or death from any cause as assessed by the treating investigator.

    5. Disease Control Rate Based on Number of Participants Who Respond to Treatment After 3 Months [36 months]

      The disease control rate based on the number of participants who show a complete response, partial response or no changes in disease (stable disease) after 3 months as assessed by bone marrow biopsies and neutrophil/complete blood count tests.

    6. Number of Participants with Complete Molecular Remission at 180 Days [36 months]

      Number of participants with complete molecular remission at 180 days as defined by the absence of a detectable BCR-ABL1 gene, according to criteria set by the International Scale for p210 BCR-ABL1. Complete molecular remission at 180 days will be assessed among participants who do not undergo allogenic stem cell transplantation after treatment.

    7. Number of Participants With Documented Veno-Occlusive Disease After Treatment [36 months]

      The number of patients with documented veno-occlusive disease as assessed by treating investigator.
