Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children
RATIONALE: L-asparaginase is an important component of treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but is also associated with notable side-effects, including hypersensitivity, pancreatitis, and thrombosis. We have previously reported that patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in whom asparaginase treatment was discontinued because of intolerable side-effects had survival outcomes that were inferior to those who received all or nearly all of their intended doses. Two bacterial sources of asparaginase exist: Escherichia coli (E coli) and Erwinia chrysanthemia (Erwinia). Generally, the E coli-derived enzyme has been used as front-line therapy and the Erwinia-derived preparation has been reserved for patients who develop hypersensitivity reactions. Pegylated E coli asparaginase (PEG-asparaginase) has a longer half-life and is potentially less immunogenic than native E coli L-asparaginase, and has been used as the initial asparaginase preparation in some pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment regimens.
PURPOSE: Although the pharmacokinetics of each of these asparaginase preparations: intravenous PEG-asparaginase (IV-PEG) and intramuscular native E coli L-asparaginase (IM-EC) have been well characterized, their relative efficacy and toxicity have not been studied extensively.

Detailed Description
RISK CLASSIFICATION:
Patients received were classified into initial risk groups defined as:
High Risk (HR) High risk patients had any of the following features: age 10 years and older, a white blood cell count of 50 000 cells per μL or higher, initial spinal fluid sample with the presence of lymphoblasts and five or more white blood cells per high power field [Central Nervous System (CNS)-3], or a T-cell phenotype.
Standard Risk (SR) All other patients were classified as standard risk.
Patients who achieved complete remission (CR) after 32 days of induction therapy defined as a marrow specimen with less than 5% marrow blasts and evidence of normal haemopoiesis, absence of extramedullary disease, and recovery of peripheral blood counts were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive IV-PEG or IM-EC. Randomization was stratified by final risk group assigned based on end-induction minimal residual disease and cytogenetics as follows:
Very High Risk (VHR)
Any initial risk group and any of the following:
- MLL gene rearrangement
- Hypodiploidy (<45 chromosomes)
- B cell-ALL (high) end-induction minimal residual disease (MRD) (>/= 0.001)
High Risk (HR)
No VHR features, plus:
HR initial risk group OR
SR initial risk group with either of the following:
- CNS-2 or CNS-3 on day 18
- CNS-2 on day 32 OR
- t(9;22) Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+ ALL)
Standard Risk (SR)
No VHR features, plus:
SR initial risk group AND
* CNS-1 on day 18 and 32
NOTE: CNS-1, Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) without blasts; CNS-2, CSF with blasts and < 5 WBC per high-power field (HPF); CNS-3, CSF with blasts and ≥ 5 WBC per HPF
THERAPY:
INDUCTION
- Steroid prophase: Patients receive intrathecal (IT) cytarabine on day 1 and methylprednisolone IV every 8 hours on days 1-3. Patients then proceed to remission induction therapy.
Patients with CNS leukemia (CNS-2, CNS-3, or traumatic lumbar puncture [LP] with blasts) on initial LP receive additional IT cytarabine twice weekly beginning on days 4-6 and continuing until cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is clear, followed by 2 additional doses. Patients with cranial nerve palsy but no leukemia blasts in CSF or leukemic eye infiltrates also receive additional IT cytarabine as above.
NOTE: Patients who received steroids within the past 7 days do not receive steroid prophase treatment; instead they proceed directly to remission induction therapy according to their risk group.
- Remission induction therapy (SR patients): Patients receive oral prednisone or prednisolone 2-3 times daily OR methylprednisolone IV every 8 hours on days 4-32; vincristine IV on days 4, 11, 18, and 25; doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) IV over 15 minutes on days 4 and 5; methotrexate (MTX) IV on day 6; pegasparaginase IV over 1 hour on day 7; triple intrathecal therapy (TIT) comprising methotrexate, cytarabine, and hydrocortisone on day 18; and IT MTX on day 32.
- Remission induction therapy (HR and VHR patients): Patients receive prednisone/prednisolone OR methylprednisolone; vincristine; DOX; MTX IV; pegasparaginase; TIT; and IT MTX as in the SR group. Patients also receive dexrazoxane hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes preceding the DOX infusions on days 4 and 5.
NOTE: Patients who do not receive steroid prophase treatment also receive IT cytarabine on day 4.
NOTE: Patients who are in CR on day 32 proceed to consolidation I. Patients who do not meet protocol definition of CR on day 32 but have no evidence of persistent disease receive vincristine IV weekly until CR is achieved. Patients with persistent marrow disease (greater than 5% leukemic blasts) and/or persistent extramedullary disease or those who do not achieve CR by day 53 are removed from the study.
NOTE: Patients with Ph+ ALL received imatinib (340 mg/m2 PO maximum 600 mg daily starting day 18) in combination with HR chemotherapy until they proceeded to stem cell transplant. Patients with Ph+ ALL patients did not participate in asparaginase randomization but were directly assigned to receive IM-EC during post-induction therapy.
CONSOLIDATION I
- Consolidation I (SR patients): Patients receive vincristine IV and IT MTX on day 1 and oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 1-14. Patients also receive high-dose MTX (HDM) IV continuously over 24 hours on day 1 and leucovorin calcium IV every 6 hours beginning 36 hours after the start of the HDM infusion and continuing until MTX levels are undetectable. Patients proceed to CNS therapy after day 21.
- Consolidation I (HR patients): Patients receive vincristine, IT MTX, and mercaptopurine as in the SR group. Patients also receive dexrazoxane hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes followed by DOX IV over 15 minutes on day 1 and HDM with leucovorin calcium support as in the SR group beginning 8-24 hours after the completion of the DOX infusion. Patients proceed to CNS therapy after day 21.
Consolidation I (VHR patients): Patients receive consolidation therapy in 3 stages.
- IA: Patients receive vincristine, IT MTX, and mercaptopurine as in the SR group. Patients also receive dexrazoxane hydrochloride, DOX, HDM, and leucovorin calcium as in the HR group.
- IB: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour and IT MTX on day 22; oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 22-35; and cytarabine IV on days 23-26 and 30-33.
- IC: Patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours on days 43 and 44; etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 45-47; and oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 43-47. Patients also receive IM-EC weekly beginning on day 48 and continuing for up to 30 weeks OR IV-PEG over 1 hour every 2 weeks beginning on day 48 and continuing for up to 30 weeks. Patients proceed to CNS therapy after day 49.
KEY RANDOMIZATION: Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive either IV-PEG or IM-EC post-induction. Those who achieved a complete remission after induction therapy were assigned a final risk group and were eligible to participate in the randomization. The randomization was stratified by final risk group.
NOTE: Ph+ ALL patients did not participate in asparaginase randomization but were directly assigned to receive IM-EC during post-induction therapy. Patients who were eligible but declined randomization were also directly assigned to receive IM-EC. Patients who developed severe pancreatitis (defined as symptoms persisting for >72 h) during induction were not eligible for randomization and received no further doses of asparaginase. Patients who had hypersensitivity to IV-PEG during induction were also ineligible for randomization, but received twice-weekly IM-EC (25 000 IU/m2) during the post-induction treatment phases.
CNS
- CNS therapy (SR patients): Patients receive vincristine IV on day 1; oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 1-14; oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 1-5; and TIT twice weekly for 2 weeks. Patients also receive IV-PEG OR IM-EC as above beginning on day 1 and continuing for up to 30 weeks. Patients proceed to consolidation II after day 21.
- CNS therapy (HR and VHR patients): Patients receive vincristine, mercaptopurine, dexamethasone, and TIT as in the SR group. Patients also receive dexrazoxane hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes followed by DOX IV over 15 minutes on day 1. HR patients also receive IV-PEG OR IM-EC as above beginning on day 1 and continuing for up to 30 weeks. VHR patients continue to receive IV-PEG OR IM-EC as per consolidation I treatment. Patients proceed to consolidation II after day 21.
NOTE: Patients with WBC > 100,000/mm³, T-cell disease, and/or CNS-3 at diagnosis or CNS-2 at end of remission induction therapy also undergo cranial radiation therapy daily for 8 or 10 days.
CONSOLIDATION II
- Consolidation II (SR patients): Patients receive vincristine IV on day 1; oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 1-5; and oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days until IV-PEG OR IM-EC is completed. Patients also receive MTX IV or IM 1 day after each IV-PEG OR IM-EC dose and TIT every 9 weeks for 6 doses and then every 18 weeks thereafter.
- Consolidation II (HR and VHR patients): Patients receive vincristine, dexamethasone, and mercaptopurine as in the SR group. Patients also receive dexrazoxane hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes followed by DOX IV over 15 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days until IV-PEG OR IM-EC is completed. Patients also receive MTX IV or IM as in the SR group and TIT every 9 weeks for 6 doses and then every 18 weeks thereafter OR TIT every 18 weeks.
CONTINUATION
- Continuation therapy: After completion of all consolidation therapy, all patients receive vincristine IV on day 1; oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 1-5; oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 1-14; and MTX IV or IM on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 24 months (102 weeks) after achieving CR. Patients continue to receive TIT as in consolidation II until completion of therapy.
