Brief Summary:
This is a pilot study utilizing Marqibo® (vincristine sulfate liposome injection) combined with dexamethasone, mitoxantrone and asparaginase (UK ALL R3) for relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
ALL, Childhood Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Acute, Childhood Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Acute Drug: Marqibo Phase 1

Detailed Description:
This study will utilize Marqibo® as a replacement for standard vincristine in combination with chemotherapy for children with relapsed ALL. The hypothesis is that the incorporation of Marqibo® with combination chemotherapy will be safe and feasible. In the context of this pilot study, overall outcomes and efficacy will be a secondary objective. It is hypothesized that data from this combination may show improved efficacy including, complete remission (CR), minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, and progression free survival (PFS) rates and safety (i.e., neurotoxicity) in comparison to outcomes in historical regimens, including the UK ALL R3 with standard vincristine.

Official Title: A Pilot Study of Vincristine Sulfate Liposome Injection (Marqibo®) in Combination With UK ALL R3 Induction Chemotherapy for Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Relapse of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Actual Study Start Date : January 31, 2017
Estimated Primary Completion Date : August 31, 2021
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 31, 2022


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Cohort A: Marqibo and UK ALL R3 backbone
  • Marqibo®: given by intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1, 8, 15 and 22.
  • Dexamethasone orally twice daily on days 1-5 and 15-19.
  • Mitoxantrone: given by intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1 and 2.
  • PEG-asparaginase: given as an injection into the muscle on says 3 and 17.
  • Methotrexate IT: given intrathecally (used to treat the brain and spinal cord and is given using a needle inserted into the spinal canal) on days 1 and 8.
Drug: Marqibo
The focus of the study design and statistical analysis is to determine whether Marqibo® can be substituted for standard vincristine and successfully administered to patients with relapsed ALL in three different treatment cohorts: (A) treatment with the UK ALL R3 regimen; (B) treatment with UK ALL R3 regimen without mitoxantrone, and (C) treatment with ALL maintenance therapy. Secondary objectives include estimating rates of serious toxicities and therapy delays in each of these cohorts.

The focus of the study design and statistical analysis is to determine whether Marqibo® can be substituted for standard vincristine and successfully administered to patients with relapsed ALL in three different treatment cohorts: (A) treatment with the UK ALL R3 regimen; (B) treatment with UK ALL R3 regimen without mitoxantrone, and (C) treatment with ALL maintenance therapy. Secondary objectives include estimating rates of serious toxicities and therapy delays in each of these cohorts.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability [ Time Frame: 5 weeks ]
    The incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be measured at different dose levels.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The response rate after treatment. [ Time Frame: Approx. 8 weeks ]
    The rate of remission will be assessed after 1 courses of therapy. A bone marrow aspirate/biopsy and CBC will be conducted to assess response.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Age

-Patients must be ≥ 1 and ≤ 21 years of age at the time of enrollment.

Diagnosis

  • Cohort A: Patients must have a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or mixed phenotypic acute leukemia with ≥ 5% blasts in the bone marrow (M2 or M3), with or without extramedullary disease) or a diagnosis of lymphoblastic lymphoma.
  • Cohorts B & C: Patients must have a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoblastic lymphoma, or mixed phenotypic acute leukemia with any level of detectable disease (minimal residual disease level acceptable) with or without extramedullary disease

Performance Level -Karnofsky > 50% for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky > 50% for patients ≤ 16 years of age.

Prior Therapy

  • Patients must have recovered from the acute toxic effects (≤ Grade 2 or baseline) of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to entering this study, unless otherwise specified. Subjects with disease related cytopenias will be eligible.
  • Patients must have relapsed or refractory disease after attaining at least a first remission. They may be in first to third relapse..
  • Patients with Philadelphia chromosome t(9;22) positive disease must have received at least two prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
  • Patients who have experienced their relapse after a Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are eligible, provided they have no evidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and are at least 100 days post-transplant at the time of enrollment.
  • Prior anthracycline lifetime cumulative exposure: Patients must have less than 320 mg/m2 (or 400 mg/m2 if prior cardioprotection) lifetime exposure of anthracycline chemotherapy.

    1. Cohort A: Patients must have less than 320 mg/m2 (or 400 mg/m2 if prior cardioprotection) lifetime exposure of anthracycline chemotherapy (See Appendix 2 for anthracycline calculation worksheet).
    2. Cohorts B & C: There is no limit on prior anthracycline exposure.
  • Hematopoietic growth factors: It must have been at least seven days since the completion of therapy with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) or other growth factors at the time of enrollment. It must have been at least 14 days since the completion of therapy with pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®).
  • Biologic anti-neoplastic agents: At least seven days after the last dose of a biologic agent. For agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond seven days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur. The duration of this interval must be discussed with the study chair or vice chair.
  • Monoclonal antibodies: At least three half-lives (or 30 days-whichever is longer) of the antibody must have elapsed after the last dose of monoclonal antibody. (e.g., Rituximab = 66 days, Epratuzumab = 69 days)
  • Immunotherapy: At least 30 days after the completion of any type of immunotherapy, e.g. tumor vaccines, chimeric antigen receptor T-cells.
  • Recent prior chemotherapy: At least 10 days after standard vincristine and the completion of any type of chemotherapy induction regimen. At least 3 weeks after radiation therapy. At least 30 days after the completion of any investigational neoplastic agent is also required. An investigational agent is defined as any drug that is not approved and licensed for sale by the FDA for institutions in the United States, by Health Canada for institutions in Canada and by The Therapeutic Goods Administration for institutions in Australia.

Exceptions:

  • There is no time restriction in regard to prior intrathecal chemotherapy provided there is complete recovery from any acute toxic effects of such; it is allowable to enroll a patient that has received IT Cytarabine (ARA-C), IT Methotrexate (MTX) or triple IT therapy within 14 days of enrollment as part of their evaluation to diagnose disease relapse. The IT therapy given within 14 days of initiation of protocol specified chemotherapy, may substitute for the day 1 IT in cohorts A and B
  • Subjects with rapidly progressive disease may receive hydroxyurea until they begin study therapy;
  • Patients who relapse while on maintenance-type ALL therapy or are receiving maintenance therapy for disease stabilization will not require a wash-out period before entry into this study. However, there must be at least 10 days after any dose of standard vincristine.

Renal and Hepatic Function

  • Renal function: Patient's serum creatinine must be ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) according to age. If the serum creatinine is greater than 1.5 times normal, the patient must have a calculated creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 70milliliter/min/1.73m2. Alternatively, a 24-hour creatinine clearance may also be used.
  • Hepatic function: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) must be < 5 x institutional upper limit of norm ULN. Total bilirubin must be ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except in the case of subjects with documented Gilbert's disease ≤ 5 × ULN).
