Imatinib Mesylate and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

April 28, 2026 updated by: Children's Oncology Group

International Phase 3 Trial in Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ALL) Testing Imatinib in Combination With Two Different Cytotoxic Chemotherapy Backbones

This randomized phase III trial studies how well imatinib mesylate works in combination with two different chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Imatinib mesylate has been shown to improve outcomes in children and adolescents with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) ALL when given with strong chemotherapy, but the combination has many side effects. This trial is testing whether a different chemotherapy regimen may work as well as the stronger one but have fewer side effects when given with imatinib. The trial is also testing how well the combination of chemotherapy and imatinib works in another group of patients with a type of ALL that is similar to Ph+ ALL. This type of ALL is called "ABL-class fusion positive ALL", and because it is similar to Ph+ ALL, is thought it will respond well to the combination of agents used to treat Ph+ ALL.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To compare disease-free survival (DFS) of standard risk (SR) pediatric Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with continuous imatinib mesylate (imatinib) combined with either a high-risk Children's Oncology Group (COG) ALL chemotherapy backbone or the more intensive European (Es)PhALL chemotherapy backbone.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare DFS of SR pediatric Ph+ and ABL-class fusion positive ALL patients treated with continuous imatinib combined with either a high-risk COG-ALL chemotherapy backbone or the more intensive EsPhALL chemotherapy backbone.

II. To determine the feasibility of administration of imatinib after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in high risk (HR) Ph+ ALL patients.

III. To determine event-free survival (EFS) of HR pediatric Ph+ ALL patients treated with EsPhALL chemotherapy, HSCT in first complete remission and post-HSCT imatinib.

IV. To compare rates of grade 3 or higher infections in standard risk (SR) Ph+ ALL patients between the two randomized arms.

V. To evaluate EFS and overall survival (OS) of all eligible Ph+ALL patients enrolled on the study.

VI. To evaluate OS in SR Ph+ ALL patients. VII. To evaluate OS in HR Ph+ ALL patients. VIII. To evaluate EFS and OS of all eligible ABL-class fusion positive ALL patients enrolled on the study.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe the toxicities associated with post-HSCT administration of imatinib in HR Ph+ALL patients.

II. To evaluate the long-term toxicities in SR Ph+ ALL patients treated with chemotherapy plus imatinib (no transplant), overall and between both randomized arms.

III. To determine prognostic significance of minimal residual disease (MRD) in Ph+ ALL at various time points during therapy.

IIIa. To evaluate MRD in HR patients just prior to HSCT and then at regular intervals post-HSCT and explore the association of these measurements with long-term outcome.

IIIb. To evaluate concordance of MRD assessments made by IGH-T cell receptor (TCR) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and next generation sequencing (NGS) assays.

IV. To determine and validate if IKZF1 deletions alone (IKZF1del) or with other transcription factor deletions (ie, IKZF1 plus subtype [IKZF1plus]) or other identified genetic lesions predict poor outcomes in Ph+/ABL-class Ph-like ALL in patients treated on AALL1631.

V. To determine the frequency and prognostic significance of p190 and p210 BCR::ABL1 fusion variants in pediatric Ph+ ALL/ABL-class Ph-like ALL.

VI. To measure adherence to oral chemotherapeutic agents (imatinib, 6-mercaptopurine and methotrexate) during the maintenance phase in SR Ph+ ALL patients.

VIa. To identify factors associated with poor adherence. VIb. To determine association between relapse risk and adherence to each oral chemotherapeutic agent (separately and combined).

VII. To measure adherence to imatinib after allogeneic HSCT in HR Ph+ ALL patients and identify factors associated with poor adherence.

VIII. To compare DFS of SR ABL-class fusion positive ALL patients treated with continuous imatinib combined with either a high-risk COG-ALL chemotherapy backbone or the more intensive EsPhALL chemotherapy backbone.

IX. Other secondary and exploratory aims described above for Ph+ ALL patients (either SR or HR), if applicable, will be evaluated in ABL-class fusion positive ALL patients.

X. Secondary and exploratory aims described above for Ph+ ALL patients (either SR or HR), if applicable and feasible, will be evaluated in the super set of Ph+ and ABL-class fusion positive ALL patients.

XI. To determine the potential therapeutic impact of major secondary events via pharmacologic inhibitor screens in existing/engineered cell models of Ph+ and ABL-class Ph-like ALL harboring secondary events and to test the in vivo activity of the most compelling candidate compounds from pilot studies using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models established from Ph+ and ABL-class Ph-like ALL samples collected from patients treated on AALL1631.

XII. To decipher the molecular and cellular heterogeneity of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)-like versus typical Ph+ ALL via single-cell genomics and functional assays and investigate CML-like phenotypes via single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing to identify distinct transcriptomic and mutational profiles that will provide novel opportunities for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • For patients enrolled on APEC14B1 prior to enrollment on AALL1631, the required diagnostic bone marrow sample has been fulfilled

    • For patients who have not previously enrolled on APEC14B1 prior to enrollment on AALL1631, a baseline diagnostic sample (or peripheral blood sample with blasts if marrow sample unavailable) must be available to develop an MRD probe
    • In addition, laboratory reports detailing evidence of BCR::ABL1 fusion or ABL-class fusion must be submitted for rapid central review within 72 hours of study enrollment
  • >= 1 year (365 days) and =< 21 years at ALL diagnosis
  • Ph+ (BCR::ABL1 fusion): newly diagnosed de novo ALL (B-ALL or T-ALL) or mixed phenotypic acute leukemia (MPAL meeting 2016 World Health Organization [WHO] definition) with definitive evidence of BCR::ABL1 fusion by karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and/or molecular methodologies
  • ABL-class fusion: newly diagnosed B-ALL with definitive evidence of ABL-class fusions. ABL-class fusions are defined as those involving the following genes: ABL1, ABL2, CSF1R, PDGFRB, PDGFRA. Methods of detection include fluorescence in-situ hybridization ([FISH], e.g. using break-apart or colocalization signals probes), multiplex or singleplex reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), whole transcriptome or panel-based RNA-sequencing (e.g. TruSight RNA Pan-Cancer Panel; Illumina, San Diego, California [CA], United States of America [USA] or similar)
  • Ph+ patients must have previously started Induction therapy, which includes vincristine, a corticosteroid, pegaspargase, with or without anthracycline, and/or other standard cytotoxic chemotherapy
  • Ph+ patients have not received more than 14 days of multiagent Induction therapy beginning with the first dose of vinCRIStine
  • Ph+ patients may have started imatinib prior to study entry but have not received more than 14 days of imatinib
  • ABL-class fusion patients must have previously completed the 4 or 5 weeks of multiagent Induction chemotherapy (Induction IA phase)
  • ABL-class fusion patients may have started imatinib during Induction IA, at the same time of or after the first vinCRIStine dose
  • Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1, or 2

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of long-term toxicities in patients treated with chemotherapy plus imatinib mesylate (no transplant) in both arms
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
Evaluated according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0. Frequencies of long-term toxicities will be described and differences between randomized arms will be explored. Specific long-term toxicities to be explored include cardiac (echocardiographic abnormalities, including decreased left ventricular (LV) function and decreased LV wall thickness), growth (linear height, bone age), and second malignant neoplasm.
Up to 3 years
MRD measured by IGH-T cell receptor (TCR) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next generation sequencing (NGS) assay
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
For all patients, frequencies and prognostic significance (DFS, EFS, OS) will be explored for MRD levels (i.e., MRD negative, detectable at < 5 x 10^-4, and dectectable at >= 5 x 10^-4) at end of Induction IB.
Up to 6 months
MRD in high risk Ph+ patients measured by IGH-TCR PCR and NGS assay
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
The outcome of high risk Ph+ patients will be described, including proportion of patients who achieve MRD-negativity just prior to HSCT, and at regular intervals post-HSCT. Associations between these findings and long-term outcomes (e.g., OS, DFS) will be explored.
Up to 3 years
MRD assessments made by IGH-TCR PCR assay and NGS assay
Time Frame: Up to 3 years
Concordance of MRD assessments made by IGH-TCR PCR assay and NGS assay will be described and evaluated. Scatter plots and diagrams will be used to examine agreements and patterns of agreement or any differences found. Concordance will be explored both for the overall cohort, as well as by risk group. The increased sensitivity of the NGS will be closely examined to find cases where the MRD levels are detectable by NGS but undetectable by PCR, as well as cases in which one test yields results and the other does not (test failure). Prognostic relationships on outcomes for these subjects will be inspected.
Up to 3 years
Adherence to oral chemotherapeutic agents in standard risk Ph+ ALL patients
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
Adherence to imatinib mesylate, 6-mercaptopurine, and methotrexate will be evaluated in COG-enrolled participants using an electronic monitoring device. Adherence rate will be computed for each month of adherence monitoring. Longitudinal binomial regression will be conducted using generalized estimating equation methods by modeling monthly adherence rate as an unstructured mean model using five indicator variables of time for the study months. Time in months will also be treated as a continuous variable to explore temporal trends in adherence rate. Compound symmetry will be assumed as the working correlation matrix over time. Covariates that will be considered for adjustment include those hypothesized to be predictors of adherence, annual household income, parental education, time since start of maintenance, risk classification for ALL, and imatinib, 6-mercaptopurine (6MP), and methotrexate dose-intensity.
Up to 2 years
Adherence to imatinib mesylate after allogeneic HSCT in high risk Ph+ ALL patients
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
