Adding Targeted Drugs to Usual Chemotherapy for Adults With Newly Diagnosed T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) and T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (T-LBL)

Overview

This phase II trial tests the safety and effectiveness of giving chemotherapy with or without venetoclax and/or navitoclax for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). Chemotherapy drugs 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. Venetoclax and navitoclax are in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. They may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving chemotherapy with or without venetoclax and/or navitoclax may be effective treatments for patients with newly diagnosed T-ALL or T-LBL.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety of venetoclax + navitoclax + AALL0434 chemotherapy backbone (arm 4) before initiating randomization. (Cohort 1) II. To compare rates of undetectable measurable residual disease (MRD) at day 29 following induction therapy of AALL0434 chemotherapy (arm 1) versus: 1) venetoclax + AALL0434 chemotherapy backbone (arm 2); 2) navitoclax + AALL0434 chemotherapy backbone (arm 3) and; 3) venetoclax and navitoclax + AALL0434 chemotherapy backbone (arm 4) (3 primary comparisons). (Cohort 1) III. To evaluate the safety of AALL0434 chemotherapy backbone (without nelarabine). (Cohort 2) IV. If the AALL0434 chemotherapy backbone is found to be safe, then to evaluate the safety of the backbone + venetoclax and navitoclax. (Cohort 2) V. To estimate the percent of participants with detectable disease in the bone marrow as measured by multiparameter flow cytometry at diagnosis. (Cohort 2) VI. To estimate rates of undetectable MRD at day 29 following induction therapy within and across treatment arms in cohort 2. (Cohort 2) VII. To evaluate the safety of modified AALL0434 chemotherapy backbone (including nelarabine). (Cohort 3) VIII. If the AALL0434 chemotherapy backbone is found to be safe, then to evaluate the safety of the backbone + venetoclax and navitoclax. (Cohort 3) IX. To estimate rates of undetectable MRD at day 29 within and across treatment arms in cohort 3. (Cohort 3) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the response rates of complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CRi), both with and without MRD, event-free survival, relapse-free survival, and overall survival across participant cohorts and within randomized regimens in cohort 1. II. To estimate the frequency and severity of toxicities across participant cohorts and within randomized regimens in cohort 1. III. Within cohorts 1-3, to evaluate the association of CR, CRi, event-free survival, relapse-free survival, and overall survival with the T-cell immunologic subtype of early T-cell precursor (ETP) lymphoblastic leukemia, defined as CD3+, CD7+, CD8-, CD1a-, and one or more myeloid/stem cell markers CD34, CD117, HLA-DR, CD13, CD33, CD11b, and CD65, but negative for myeloperoxidase (MPO). IV. Within cohorts 1-3, to evaluate the association of endpoints (CR, CRi, event-free survival, relapse-free survival, and overall survival) with pretreatment characteristics (including age, gender, white blood cell count, central nervous system \[CNS\] leukemia at diagnosis, immunophenotype, karyotype). V. Across cohorts 1-3 where laboratory data is available (laboratory evaluation is not mandated in the study), to evaluate serum asparaginase activity levels at day 8 and day 15 of Induction, at day 19 and day 26 of consolidation, and day 6 and 13 of interim maintenance courses, of reduced doses peg-asparaginase in participants age \> 30 years and/or participants with at least one of the following risk factors for toxicity: body mass index (BMI) \> 30, history of liver disease, history of diabetes mellitus type 2. To compare asparaginase activity levels between the different arms of cohort 1. VI. Across cohorts 1-3, to estimate the frequency and severity of toxicities associated with reduced doses of peg-asparaginase in participants age \> 30 years and/or in participants with at least one of risk factors for toxicity as noted above. TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Across all cohorts, to estimate rates of MRD (day 29) with centrally evaluated flow cytometry. TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I.

CONSOLIDATION: Patients receive nelarabine IV on days 1-5 and 43-47, cyclophosphamide IV on days 8 and 50, cytarabine IV on days 8-11, 15-18, 50-53, and 57-60, mercaptopurine PO on days 8-21, and 50-63, vincristine IV on days 22, 29, 64, and 71, peg-L-asparaginase IV on days 22 and 64, venetoclax PO and navitoclax PO on days 8-21, and methotrexate IT on days 15, 22, 57 and 64 (NOTE: Patients with CNS 3 disease omit methotrexate on day 22). Treatment continues for one 11-week cycle (weeks 6-16) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo disease assessments. Patients who are MRD negative proceed, patients who are MRD positive are removed from the study. INTERIM MAINTENANCE: Patients receive methotrexate IV and vincristine IV on days 1, 11, 21, 31 and 41, peg-L-asparaginase IV on days 2 and 22 and methotrexate IT on days 1 and 31. Treatment continues for one 8-week cycle (weeks 17-24) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. DELAYED INTENSIFICATION: Patients receive dexamethasone PO BID on days 1-7, doxorubicin IV on days 1, 8 and 15, peg-L-asparaginase IV, on days 4 and 50, nelarabine IV on days 29-33, cyclophosphamide IV on day 36, cytarabine IV or SC on days 36-39, and 43-46, thioguanine PO on days 36-49, vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 50 and methotrexate IT on days 1, 36, and 43. Treatment continues for one 9-week cycle (weeks 25-33) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE: Patients receive vincristine IV on days 1 and 57 of each cycle, dexamethasone PO BID on days 1-5, and 57-61 of each cycle, mercaptopurine PO on days 1-28 and 36-84 of each cycle, methotrexate PO on days 8, 15, 22, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, and 78 of each cycle, methotrexate IT on day 1 of each cycle, and nelarabine IV on days 29-33 of cycles 1-3. Cycles repeat every 84 days for a total of 2 years from the start of interim maintenance in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo x-ray and EKG at screening and echocardiogram or MUGA, CT, PET, bone marrow aspiration, bone marrow biopsy, lumbar puncture and blood sample collection throughout the study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for up to 10 years after registration.
