Blinatumomab in Treating Younger Patients With Relapsed B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

May 23, 2026 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Risk-Stratified Randomized Phase III Testing of Blinatumomab (NSC#765986) in First Relapse of Childhood B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)

This randomized phase III trial studies how well blinatumomab works compared with standard combination chemotherapy in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Immunotherapy with blinatumomab may allow the body's immune system to attack and destroy some types of leukemia cells. It is not yet known whether blinatumomab is more effective than standard combination chemotherapy in treating relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare disease free survival (DFS) of high-risk (HR) and intermediate-risk (IR) relapse B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients who are randomized following induction block 1 chemotherapy to receive either two intensive chemotherapy blocks or two 5-week blocks of blinatumomab (HR/IR randomization) as a part of a treatment regimen prior to allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. (Closed to enrollment effective September 18, 2019) II. To compare the DFS of low risk (LR) relapse B-ALL patients who are randomized following block 1 chemotherapy to receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus blinatumomab (LR randomization). (Closed to enrollment effective September 30, 2019)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare overall survival (OS) of HR and IR relapse B-ALL patients who are randomized following induction block 1 chemotherapy to receive either two intensive chemotherapy blocks or two 5-week blocks of blinatumomab (HR/IR randomization). (Closed to enrollment effective September 18, 2019) II. To compare OS of LR relapse B-ALL patients who are randomized following block 1 chemotherapy to receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus blinatumomab (LR randomization).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the rates of minimal residual disease (MRD) >= 0.01% at the end of block 2 and block 3 for HR and IR relapse B-ALL patients in HR/IR randomization.

II. To estimate, for treatment failure (TF) patients not previously receiving blinatumomab, the hematologic complete remission rate (CR), rate of MRD < 0.01%, and proportion able to proceed to hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in CR after treatment with blinatumomab.

III. To assess the feasibility and safety of rapid taper of immune suppression for the subset of HSCT patients with MRD >= 0.01% pre- and/or post-HSCT with no acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD).

IV. To evaluate blinatumomab pharmacokinetics (PK) and explore exposure-response relationships for measures of safety and effectiveness.

High risk and intermediate risk patients are then assigned to randomization R1. Low risk patients are assigned to randomization R2.

RANDOMIZATION R1 (HR and IR patients): Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Effective 09/18/2019, HR/IR patients not yet randomized are not eligible for post-Induction therapy on AALL1331 and will be removed from protocol therapy. Patients receiving therapy on Arm A prior to Amendment #10A who have not yet received day 22 treatment on Block 3 will be offered the opportunity to cross over to Arm B to receive blinatumomab.

ARM A: Patients receive Block 2 over 4 weeks, Block 3 over 4 weeks, and then undergo allogeneic HSCT if eligible. Patients with persistent testicular involvement after Block 1 receive testicular radiation during the Block 2.

ARM B: Patients receive Blinatumomab Block 1 over 5 weeks, Blinatumomab Block 2 over 5 weeks, and then undergo allogeneic HSCT if eligible. Patients with persistent testicular involvement after Block 1 receive testicular radiation during the first block of blinatumomab.

RANDOMIZATION R2 (LR patients): LR patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM C: Patients receive Block 2 over 4 weeks, Block 3 over 4 weeks, Continuation 1 over 8 weeks, Continuation 2 over 8 weeks, and then Maintenance. CNS3 patients receive chemoradiation post-Maintenance Cycle 1. Patients with persistent testicular involvement after Block 1 receive testicular radiation during Block 2.

ARM D: Patients receive Block 2 over 4 weeks, Blinatumomab Cycle 1 over 5 weeks, Continuation 1 over 8 weeks, Blinatumomab Cycle 2 over 5 weeks, Continuation 2 over 8 weeks, Blinatumomab Cycle 3 over 5 weeks, and then Maintenance. CNS3 patients receive chemoradiation post Maintenance Cycle 1. Patients with persistent testicular involvement after Block 1 receive testicular radiation during Block 2.

BLOCK 2: Patients receive dexamethasone PO BID or IV on days 1-5; vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on day 1; methotrexate IV over 36 hours on day 8; leucovorin calcium IV or PO on days 10-11; pegaspargase IV over 1-2 hours on day 9 or 10; cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30 minutes on days 15-19; and etoposide IV over 1-2 hours on days 15-19. Patients with CNS1 or CNS2 also receive methotrexate IT on day 8. Patients with CNS3 also receive methotrexate IT, hydrocortisone IT, and cytarabine IT on days 8 and 22.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

1 year to 31 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients >= 1 year and < 31 years of age at the time of relapse will be eligible
  • First relapse of B-ALL, allowable sites of disease include isolated bone marrow, combined bone marrow and CNS and/or testicular, and isolated CNS and/or testicular; extramedullary sites are limited to the CNS and testicles
  • No waiting period for patients who relapse while receiving standard maintenance therapy
  • Patients who relapse on frontline therapy in phases other than maintenance must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to entering this study
  • Cytotoxic therapy: at least 14 days since the completion of cytotoxic therapy with the exception of hydroxyurea, which is permitted up to 24 hours prior to the start of protocol therapy, or maintenance chemotherapy, or intrathecal chemotherapy (methotrexate strongly preferred) administered at the time of the required diagnostic lumbar puncture to establish baseline CNS status
  • Biologic (anti-neoplastic) agent: at least 7 days since the completion of therapy with a biologic agent; for agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur
  • Stem cell transplant or rescue: patient has not had a prior stem cell transplant or rescue
  • Patient has not had prior treatment with blinatumomab
  • With the exception of intrathecal chemotherapy (methotrexate strongly preferred; cytarabine is permissible) administered at the time of the required diagnostic lumbar puncture to establish baseline CNS status, patient has not received prior relapse-directed therapy (i.e., this protocol is intended as the INITIAL treatment of first relapse)
  • Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1, or 2; use Karnofsky for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky for patients =< 16 years of age
  • Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 70 mL/min/1.73 m^2 or a serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:

    • 1 to < 2 years: =< 0.6 mg/dL
    • 2 to < 6 years: =< 0.8 mg/dL
    • 6 to < 10 years: =< 1 mg/dL
    • 10 to < 13 years: =< 1.2 mg/dL
    • 13 to < 16 years: =< 1.5 mg/dL (males) and =< 1.4 mg/dL (females)
    • >= 16 years: =< 1.7 mg/dL (males) and =< 1.4 mg/dL (females)
  • Direct bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dL
  • Shortening fraction of >= 27% by echocardiogram, or
  • Ejection fraction of >= 50% by radionuclide angiogram
  • All patients and/or their parent or legal guardian must sign a written informed consent
  • All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) requirements for human studies must be met

  • Patients with T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL)/lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL) are not eligible
  • Patients with B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LL) are not eligible
  • Patients with known optic nerve and/or retinal involvement are not eligible; patients who are presenting with visual disturbances should have an ophthalmologic exam and, if indicated, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine optic nerve or retinal involvement
  • Patients known to have one of the following concomitant genetic syndromes: Down syndrome, Bloom syndrome, ataxia-telangiectasia, Fanconi anemia, Kostmann syndrome, Shwachman syndrome or any other known bone marrow failure syndrome
  • Patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Patients with known allergy to mitoxantrone, cytarabine, or both etoposide and etoposide phosphate (Etopophos)
  • Lactating females who plan to breastfeed
  • Patients who are pregnant since fetal toxicities and teratogenic effects have been noted for several of the study drugs; a pregnancy test is required for female patients of childbearing potential
  • Sexually active patients of reproductive potential who have not agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for the duration of their study participation
  • Patients with pre-existing significant central nervous system pathology that would preclude treatment with blinatumomab, including: history of severe brain injury, dementia, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, psychosis, coordination/movement disorder, or autoimmune disease with CNS involvement are not eligible; patients with a history of cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage with residual deficits are not eligible; (patients with a history of cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage remain eligible provided all neurologic deficits have resolved)
  • Patients with uncontrolled seizure disorder are not eligible; (patients with seizure disorders that do not require antiepileptic drugs, or are well controlled with stable doses of antiepileptic drugs remain eligible)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease Free Survival (DFS) of High-risk (HR) and Intermediate-risk (IR) Relapse Patients
Time Frame: Up to 2 years from date of randomization
DFS rates of HR and IR relapse B-ALL patients who are randomized following Induction Block 1 chemotherapy to receive either two intensive chemotherapy blocks or two 5-week blocks of blinatumomab (HR/IR Randomization). DFS is calculated as the time from randomization to date of first event (treatment failure, relapse, second malignancy, remission death) or date of last contact. Two-year DFS estimates will be calculated from date of randomization for both Arm A and Arm B. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.
Up to 2 years from date of randomization
Disease Free Survival (DFS) of Low Risk (LR) Relapse Patients
Time Frame: Up to 3 years from date of randomization
DFS rates of LR relapse B-ALL patients who are randomized following Block 1 chemotherapy to receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus blinatumomab (LR Randomization). DFS is calculated as the time from randomization to date of first event (relapse, second malignancy, remission death) or date of last contact. Three-year DFS estimates will be calculated from date of randomization for both Arm C and Arm D. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.
Up to 3 years from date of randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS) of HR and IR Relapse Patients
Time Frame: Up to 2 years from date of randomization
OS rates of HR and IR relapse B-ALL patients who are randomized following Induction Block 1 chemotherapy to receive either two intensive chemotherapy blocks or two 5-week blocks of blinatumomab (HR/IR Randomization). OS is calculated as the time from randomization to date of death or date of last contact. Two-year OS estimates will be calculated from date of randomization for both Arm A and Arm B. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.
Up to 2 years from date of randomization
Overall Survival (OS) of LR Relapse Patients
Time Frame: Up to 3 years from date of randomization
OS rates of LR relapse B-ALL patients who are randomized following Block 1 chemotherapy to receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus blinatumomab (LR Randomization). OS is calculated as the time from randomization to date of death or date of last contact. Three-year OS estimates will be calculated from date of randomization for both Arm C and Arm D. Two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.
Up to 3 years from date of randomization

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rates of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Positivity (> 0.01%)
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
The rates at the end of Block 2 and Block 3 will be calculated for the randomized arms for HR and IR relapse patients.
Up to 12 weeks
Hematologic Complete Remission Rate (for Treatment Failure Patients Not Previously Receiving Blinatumomab)
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
The observed rate will be calculated among patients with treatment failure who did not previously receive blinatumomab.
Up to 12 weeks
MRD Negativity (< 0.01%) Rate (for Treatment Failure Patients Not Previously Receiving Blinatumomab)
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
The observed rate will be calculated among patients with treatment failure who did not previously receive blinatumomab.
Up to 12 weeks
Proportion of Patients That Proceed to Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) After Treatment With Blinatumomab (for Treatment Failure Patients Not Previously Receiving Blinatumomab)
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
The observed rate will be calculated among patients with treatment failure who did not previously receive blinatumomab.
Up to 12 weeks
Feasibility of Rapid Taper of Immune Suppression for Subset of HSCT Patients With MRD >= 0.01% Pre- and/or Post-HSCT With no Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (aGVHD)
Time Frame: Up to 10 years
The observed rate of grade III-IV aGVHD among this subset will be calculated with 95% confidence intervals and compared descriptively to target rate.
Up to 10 years
Safety of Rapid Taper of Immune Suppression for Subset of HSCT Patients With MRD >= 0.01% Pre- and/or Post-HSCT With no aGVHD Defined as < 5% Rate of Treatment-related Mortality (TRM)
Time Frame: Up to 10 years
The observed rate of TRM among this subset will be calculated with 95% confidence intervals and compared descriptively to target rate.
Up to 10 years
Blinatumomab Pharmacokinetics (PK)
Time Frame: Days 2 and 14 of cycle 1
Blinatumomab PK will be evaluated by summarizing blinatumomab steady state concentrations and systemic clearance obtained from non-compartmental analysis. In addition, a population PK approach using a non-linear mixed effect model will also be used to assess blinatumomab PK. Exposure-response analyses will be performed to explore associations among blinatumomab exposure, relevant clinical covariates and clinical measures of safety and efficacy.
Days 2 and 14 of cycle 1
