About this study

Official title: A Treatment Study Protocol of the ALLTogether Consortium for Infants, Children and Young Adults (0-45 Years of Age) With Newly Diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL): a Pilot Study

The pilot study collects the experience of previously successful treatment of infants, children and young adults, with ALL from a number of well-renowned study groups into a new platform protocol, which is both a comprehensive system for stratification and treatment of ALL in this age-group as well as the basis for several randomised trials included in the study-design.

The pilot study is implemented as a master protocol without study specific interventions, thus as an observational study. The pilot study is for countries/study-groups who intend to join ALLTogether1 (including experimental interventions). For these countries the pilot study is crucial to optimise diagnostics, registration systems, collaborations with vendors, logistics and data-checks before starting the main study.

The study only includes "standard of care" treatment included in the master protocol.

Read the detailed description

The aims of the ALLTogether study are to improve survival and quality of survival for children and young adults with ALL. ALL in young people has excellent outcome with >90% survival in children and about 75% in young adults. However, patients still die of disease - after relapse as a result of under-treatment.

Furthermore, a considerable fraction of younger patients are over-treated: All patients risk treatment-related death and some suffer long-term side-effects or secondary cancer. The rates of death from disease and death from therapy are almost the same for children. To show improvement with such good survival, large populations are needed.

Study groups from the five Nordic countries, Estonia and Lithuania (NOPHO), the UK (UKALL), the Netherlands (DCOG), Germany (COALL), Belgium (BSPHO), Ireland (PHOAI), Portugal (SHOP) and France (SFCE) have designed a common treatment protocol as new standard of care for children and young adults with ALL. The risk-stratification is based on a novel, personalised algorithm using clinical characteristics, genetic changes in the leukaemia and response to therapy.

The protocol will, based on a personalised risk-approach, define a platform for diagnosis and treatment onto which randomized as well as non-randomised interventions and translational studies can be added. This platform can also be used by countries joining the collaboration at a later date to prepare for full participation.

High-risk B-lineage patients may be stratified to Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy as an alternative to high-risk blocks and stem-cell transplant to reduce the side-effects.

Translational and other therapy-related research will be promoted by the common master protocol.

Individual data sharing
Undecided: Individual participant data will be entered into the study database. The data will be used to inform the coming main study regarding safety and overall outcomes of the master protocol. As such, these outcomes may be published in the context of a comparison with the ALLTogether1 protocol (the master protocol including experimental interventions, NCT 04307576, or compared with legacy protocols of the participating study-groups, The data of the pilot protocol will be shared according to the same principles as ALLTogether1 data.
