Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Young Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

June 11, 2021 updated by: Children's Oncology Group

Standard Risk B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

This randomized phase III trial is studying different combination chemotherapy regimens and comparing how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine whether the substitution of three intensified phases of post-Induction treatment for standard phases will improve the event free survival (EFS) of children with SR-average acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

II. Determine whether the substitution of intensified Consolidation for standard Consolidation will improve the EFS of children with SR-average ALL.

III. To determine whether the addition of four doses of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) asparaginase, given once every three weeks during Consolidation and Interim Maintenance phases, will improve the EFS for children with SR-low ALL.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Identify potentially modifiable factors associated with impaired health related quality of life (HRQOL) at different periods of therapy in the patients who are SR-average enrolled on the standard risk ALL study.

II. Determine the critical time periods when future intervention studies to mitigate adverse HRQOL outcomes should occur.

III. Correlate day 29 minimal residual disease (MRD) with EFS and overall survival (OS) of patients treated with these regimens.

IV. Correlate early marrow response with day 29 MRD status. V. To improve outcome by identifying additional high risk patients by Day 29 MRD for treatment with fully augmented Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (BFM).

VI. To examine the relative contributions of genetic factors and early treatment response to outcome by comparing the outcome of patients with and without TEL-AML1 fusion or triple trisomy and low levels of MRD at end Induction who are treated with identical therapy on the standard arms of the SR-low and SR-average trials.

OUTLINE: This is a 2-part, partially randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to early response to study induction therapy (rapid early response [standard risk (SR)-low or SR-average acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)] vs slow early response [SR-high ALL]). After completion of induction therapy but before proceeding to part II therapy, patients are assigned to 1 of 3 groups based on stratification.

PART I:

INDUCTION THERAPY: All patients receive cytarabine intrathecally (IT) on day 1; vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; dexamethasone IV or orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28; pegaspargase intramuscularly (IM) (may give IV over 1 to 2 hours) on day 4, 5, or 6; and methotrexate IT on days 8 and 29 (and days 15 and 22 for patients with CNS3 disease). Patients with Down syndrome (DS) receive leucovorin calcium PO at 48 and 60 hours after each dose of methotrexate IT. Patients are assessed for response on day 29. Patients with M1 bone marrow AND minimal residual disease (MRD) < 0.1% OR MRD >= 0.1% and < 1% proceed to therapy in part II. Patients with M2 bone marrow OR M1 bone marrow AND MRD >= 1% proceed to extended induction therapy. Patients with M3 bone marrow are removed from the study.

EXTENDED INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive dexamethasone IV or PO BID on days 1-14; vincristine IV on days 1 and 8; pegaspargase IM on day 4, 5, or 6; and daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes to 2 hours on day 1.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group 0 Induction Therapy
All patients receive cytarabine intrathecally (IT) on day 1; vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; dexamethasone IV or orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28; pegaspargase intramuscularly (IM) (may give IV over 1 to 2 hours) on day 4, 5, or 6; and methotrexate IT on days 8 and 29 (and days 15 and 22 for patients with CNS3 disease). Patients with Down syndrome (DS) receive leucovorin calcium PO at 48 and 60 hours after each dose of methotrexate IT. Patients are assessed for response on day 29. Patients with M1 bone marrow AND minimal residual disease (MRD) < 0.1% OR MRD >= 0.1% and < 1% proceed to therapy in part II. Patients with M2 bone marrow OR M1 bone marrow AND MRD >= 1% proceed to extended induction therapy. Patients with M3 bone marrow are removed from the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Event-free Survival (EFS) for SR-Average ALL Patients
Time Frame: 6 years
EFS for SR-Average with standard and Intensified Consolidation. Event Free Probability where EFS time is defined as time from randomization to first event (relapse, second malignant neoplasm, death) or date of last contact for patients who are event-free.
6 years
Event-free Survival (EFS) for SR-Low Patients
Time Frame: 6 years
Event Free Probability where EFS time is defined as time from randomization to first event (relapse, second malignant neoplasm, death) or date of last contact for patients who are event-free.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Health-related Quality of Life Relative to Physical, Social and Emotional Impairment
Time Frame: At 1, 6 and 12 months after diagnosis and, 3 months post-therapy
To identify potentially modifiable factors associated with impaired health related quality of life (HRQOL) at different periods of therapy in the patients who are SR-average enrolled on the standard risk ALL study.Standardized scores will be computed for child function using the gender and age-adjusted scores available from normative data from a healthy population of about 10,000 children. The various domains of family functioning will be assessed using well-validated instruments and analyzed as a dichotomous variable (impaired vs. non-impaired family functioning). Multiple regression analysis will be used to test the effect of family functioning (adjusted for therapy given, age at diagnosis, gender, socioeconomic status and other factors) on child function.
At 1, 6 and 12 months after diagnosis and, 3 months post-therapy
Event-Free Survival Probability According to MRD Status End Induction (Day 29)
Time Frame: MRD at Day 29 of therapy
Event-Free survival by Day 29 MRD status (negative vs positive), Event Free Probability (time from study entry to first event (relapse, second malignant neoplasm, death) or date of last contact for patients who are event-free.
MRD at Day 29 of therapy
Overall Survival Probability (OS) According to Induction Day 29 MRD Status
Time Frame: Overall Survival Probability of 6 years
Overall survival by Day 29 MRD status (negative vs positive), Overall survival defined as time from study entry to death or date of last contact for patients who are alive.
Overall Survival Probability of 6 years
Early Marrow Status (EMS) by MRD Status End Induction (Day 29)
Time Frame: Early Marrow Status at Day 15, MRD Status at Day 29 of therapy.
Early Marrow Status defined as M1 versus M2/M3 marrow is correlated with MRD (Positive vs. Negative)
Early Marrow Status at Day 15, MRD Status at Day 29 of therapy.
Optimal Time Point for Advance Health Related Quality of Life Intervention
Time Frame: At 1 month after diagnosis and 3 months post-therapy.
Percentage of patients with elevated Anxiety.
At 1 month after diagnosis and 3 months post-therapy.
Event-free Survival (EFS) for SR-High Patients.
Time Frame: 6 years
