Newly-diagnosed Intermediate/High Risk Pediatric B-cell ALL Protocol (CCCG-I/HR-ALL)

Chinese Children's Cancer Group-2025 Protocol for Newly Diagnosed for Intermediate/High Risk Childhood B-cell ALL

Building upon the results from the CCCG-ALL-2015, CCCG-ALL-2020 multicenter study cohort, concurrent research findings, and the latest clinical trials, the CCCG-ALL-2025 I/HR-B-ALL is thus developed to further improve the event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS), and quality of life (QoL) of children with intermediate- and high- risk B-cell childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (I/HR-B-ALL), while decreasing adverse reactions and transplantation rates. This trial primarily aims to explore:

  1. The efficacy of two randomized Blinatumomab application scheme on I/HR-ALL as determined by MRD negatvitiy rate.
  2. The efficacy of modified mini-hyperCVD + Venetoclax in I/HR-ALL cannot afford blinatumomab, in contrast to historical control as determined by MRD negatvitiy rate.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study shown above will lead to the following revisions to the CCCG-ALL2025 I/HR-B-ALL plan, which will be based on the CCCG-ALL2020 plan.

  1. After the induction remission phase, all I/HR-B-ALL patients can afford blinatumomab will participate in a blinatumomab+HDMTX randomized controlled trial as consolidation.
  2. For patients cannot afford blinatumomab will be treated with venetoclax + modified mini-hyperCVD during the induction phase, then subsequently with CAT as consolidation phase. CAT will removed from induction phase.
  3. For patients who received blinatumomab randomization, the CAT+ course was canceled.
  4. All patients will continued with 6 cycles of alternated 5-day venetoclax or Dauno-based CCCG-2020 continuous therapy regimen.
  5. Adding IgH rearrangement NGS MRD as an evaluation indicator.
  6. Adding pharmacotyping study for I/HR B-ALL.
  7. Three more bone marrow punctures and IT will be added with the aims to evaluate the CR rate with deepen remission during or after consolidation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To investigate if Group B[2*(14-day blinatumomab + HDMTX*2)] can result in noninferior event-free survival (EFS) compared to Group A [28-day blinatumomab + HDMTX*4
Time Frame: Based on the above analysis in this study the investigators will randomize 1800 patients. The analysis will start1.5 years after the last patient is randomized. The expected study duration is approximately 6.5 years.
  • The randomization is stratified by hospitals and status of flow-cytometry MRD (positive or negative) immediately prior to the blinatumomab-HDMTX treatment.
  • Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates of each EFS function will be computed along with standard error by the default procedure in R. To test noninferiority the investigators consider a noninferiority margin of 0.04 for 5-year EFS as clinically meaningful.
  • Assume the EFS in the control group (Arm A) to be the same as the provisional I/HR in the CCCG-ALL2020 trial (preliminary data above), with the 1-year and 3-year EFS possibly 0.837 and 0.768 respectively. A simulation study with 10,000 rounds shows that by randomizing 1800 patients and 1.5 years of follow up, the above decision rule of declaring noninferiority has well controlled probabilities of false positive and false negative errors.
Based on the above analysis in this study the investigators will randomize 1800 patients. The analysis will start1.5 years after the last patient is randomized. The expected study duration is approximately 6.5 years.

Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: Up to five years
Proportions of patients with positive IgH NGS MRD in each arm will be estimated by the sample proportion along with the 95% confidence interval.
