About this study

Official title: Addition of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin Pre- and Post-Allogeneic Transplantation

The goal of this phase II clinical study is to learn about the safety of inotuzumab ozogamicin when given with fludarabine, with or without bendamustine, melphalan, and rituximab before and after a stem cell transplant. Researchers also want to learn if inotuzumab ozogamicin when given after a stem cell transplant can help control leukemia and lymphoma. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called ozogamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to CD22-positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers ozogamicin to kill them. Giving chemotherapy before a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving tacrolimus and filgrastim before or after the transplant may stop this from happening. Fludarabine, bendamustine, melphalan, and rituximab are commonly given before stem cell transplants. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin with chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with leukemia or lymphoma undergoing stem cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the safety of the addition of inotuzumab ozogamicin (IO) pre- and post-allogeneic transplantation in patients with CD22-positive hematological malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Overall survival, progression-free survival and relapse rates. II. Treatment-related mortality. III. Cumulative incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and aggressive lymphoma receive inotuzumab ozogamicin intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day -13, fludarabine IV over 1 hour on days -5 to -2, melphalan IV over 30 minutes on day -2, and tacrolimus IV continuously beginning on day -2 then orally (PO) once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) for about 6 months. Patients also receive bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor cells IV on day 0. Patients receive cylophosphamide IV over 3 hours and mesna IV on days +3 to +4 and filgrastim-sndz subcutaneously (SC) QD beginning 1 week after the transplant until blood cell levels return to normal.

GROUP II: Patients with indolent lymphoma receive inotuzumab ozogamicin IV over 1 hour on day -13, fludarabine IV over 1 hour and bendamustine IV over 30 minutes to 1 hour on days -5 to -3, and tacrolimus IV continuously beginning on day -2 then PO QD or BID for about 6 months. Patients also receive bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor cells IV on day 0. Patients then receive rituximab IV over 4-6 hours on days 1 and 8, cyclophosphamide IC over 3 hours and mesna IV on days +3 to +4, and filgrastim-sndz SC once a day beginning 1 week after the transplant.

MAINTENANCE: Between 45 and 100 days after stem cell transplantation, all patients receive inotuzumab ozogamicin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2. Beginning 28 to 100 days after start of first cycle, patients receive inotuzumab ozogamicin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

GROUP III: Recipients of haploidentical or mismatched unrelated stem cell transplant: Patients will receive inotuzumab ozogamicin intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day -13, fludarabine IV over 1 hour on days -5 to -2, melphalan IV over 30 minutes on day -3 to -2, total body irradiation on day -1, and tacrolimus IV continuously beginning on day -2 then orally (PO) once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) for about 6 months. Patients also receive bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor cells IV on day 0. Patients receive cylophosphamide IV over 3 hours and mesna IV on days +3 to +4 and filgrastim-sndz subcutaneously (SC) QD beginning 1 week after the transplant until blood cell levels return to normal.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Participants Who Experienced VOD (Veno-occlusive Disease) Within 45 Days Post Transplant.

    VOD (veno-occlusive disease) is a severe liver injury caused by chemotherapy drugs and it is usually presents with abdominal pain and swelling, with evidence of portal hypertension and variable degrees of serum enzyme elevations and jaundice.

    Measured: Up to 45 days post transplant

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants Experienced Treatment-related Mortality (TRM) at 1 Year Post Transplant.

    Number of participants die from cause other than relapsed disease.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post transplant.

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Apr 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Number of Participants Who Experienced VOD (Veno-occlusive Disease) Within 45 Days Post Transplant. (time frame: Up to 45 days post transplant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03856216, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2026.
