About this study

Official title: National Treatment Program of Philadelphia Chromosome-negative Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Pegylated Asparaginase Added to a Lineage-Targeted Risk- and Minimal Residual Disease-Oriented Strategy

This study will be conducted in different centres and will study adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The study treatment will include a induction/consolidation therapy incorporating pegylated Asparaginase (Peg-ASP) and lineage-targeted high-dose methotrexate plus other antileukemic drugs, for the achievement of an early negative minimal residual disease (MRD) status. The MRD study supports a risk/MRD-oriented final consolidation phase.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this clinical study in adult ALL is to improve , by risk category, the overall disease-free survival in relation to the achievement of an early MRD negative status and following induction/consolidation with Peg-ASP, lineage-targeted methotrexate infusions and other disease-specific therapeutic elements, with or without the application of allogeneic or autologous SCT depending on risk class and MRD study results. A survey of severe infections occurring along the entire chemotherapy and stem cell transplant program and until 2 years from the achievement of CR will be performed with the aim to increase the knowledge of these complications and to evaluate their impact on the antileukemic program and on the long term outcome of the underlying malignancy. The prospective survey of severe infections will be performed as an ancillary observational objective of the present study.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study populationExperimentalIn this phase II multicentric trial, eligible patients with Ph- ALL/LL will receive homogeneous supportive care and chemotherapy and will be homogeneously analyzed for response at prefixed timepoints from induction day 1. For risk-/MRD-oriented therapy, CR patients will be stratified by risk class according to diagnostic characteristics, MRD study and CT/PET (LL only) results during early consolidation.
Receives: Drug: Prephase PDN + CY; Drug: Cycle 1 Induction; Drug: Cycle 2 Induction / Early consolidation; Drug: Cycle 3 Early consolidation; Drug: Cycle 4 Consolidation; Drug: Cycle 5 Consolidation; Drug: Cycle 6 Consolidation; Drug: Cycle 7 Consolidation; Drug: Cycle 8 Reinduction; Drug: Maintenance; Procedure: Allogeneic SCT or Autologous SCT

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of patients on disease free survival (DFS).

    DFS is defined as the time interval between the evaluation of CR and relapse of the disease or death in first Complete Response (CR); patients still alive, in first CR, will be censored at the time of the last follow-up. In this case, the DFS will be truncated at 2 years.

    Measured: At two years.

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. The rate of patients in complete remission (CR).

    Measured: After approximately two months from start of treatment.

  2. The rate of early bone marrow MRD negativity.

    Measured: At 4 timepoints (week 4, 10, 16 22).

  3. Early bone marrow MRD response (<10-4).

    Measured: At 4 weeks following induction cycle 1 with Peg-ASP.

  4. Overall Survival (OS) estimation.

    Measured: At two years from diagnosis.

  5. Cumulative Incidence of Relapse (CIR) estimation.

    Measured: At two years from CR achievement.

  6. The rate of patients dead due Treatment-related mortality (TRM).

    Measured: By the end of the study (4.5 years from first centre opened).

  7. Composite DFS, OS, CIR.

    Measured: At two years from CR achievement and rate of TRM in LL patients.

  8. Description of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) monitoring.

    Measured: During treatment at time point 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

  9. Number of Severe Infections (SI) during treatment.

    Description: Number and type.

    Measured: At the end of the study (4.5 years from first centre opened).

  10. Rate of Adverse Events (AE).

    Excluding SI.

    Measured: By the end of the study (4.5 years from first centre opened)

  11. Composite evaluation of impact of age (≤55 and >55) and risk category group (SR, HR, VHR - as defined) on outcomes: DFS, CIR.

    Measured: At two years for CR achievement, OS at two years from diagnosis and TRM.
