Impact of asparaginase discontinuation on outcome in childhood ALL: A report from the Children's Oncology Group (COG)

Conclusions: Discontinuation of ASP doses is associated with significantly inferior EFS and must be balanced against the risks of ASP re-challenge. Our results also illustrate the potentially severe consequences of EA shortages. Prescribed pegasparagase doses.

Efficacy and toxicity of pegaspargase and calaspargase pegol in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma: Results of DFCI 11-001.

Conclusions: Every 3-week SC-PEG had similar EFS, OS, safety profile, and NSAA compared with every 2-week SS-PEG. The high NSAA observed for both preparations suggest dosing strategies can be further optimized. These data informed FDA approval of SC-PEG for pediatric pts. Clinical trial information: NCT01574274

End of phase I results of ZUMA-3, a phase 1/2 study of KTE-X19, anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, in adult patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Conclusions: KTE-X19 dosing and safety mgmt have been successfully refined by testing 3 cell doses and evaluating a new AE mgmt guideline with altered corticosteroids/tocilizumab use for NE/CRS. Pivotal Phase 2 is ongoing at the 1 × 106 dose with rAE mgmt. Clinical trial information: NCT02614066

Time from randomization to first subsequent induction/salvage therapy (ST) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) in the phase 3 INO-VATE trial.

Conclusions: In this study, treatment with InO provided the benefit of extended TST, effectively allowing patients a longer time period until an ST was needed in both patients who proceeded to as well as those who did not proceed to HSCT. Clinical trial information: NCT01564784

Methods: We are conducting a phase I/II multicenter trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of blinatumomab with pembrolizumab in adults with R/R B-ALL and a high bone marrow lymphoblast percentage (NCT 03160079). The primary endpoint is ORR (CR+CRh) after 1-2 cycles with secondary endpoints of AEs, MRD-negative CR/CRh rate, 2-year DFS, 2-year OS, and allogeneic HCT rate. Exploratory studies are evaluating cytokine expression, PD-1 expression on T-cells, PD-L1 and PD-L2 protein expression on lymphoblasts, and T-cell populations at diagnosis and in response to therapy. Eligibility includes: adults with R/R CD19+ B-ALL after ≥ 1 prior line of therapy, R/R Ph+ B-ALL must fail a 2nd- or 3rd-generation TKI or be TKI intolerant, > 50% lymphoblasts on screening bone marrow sample. Blinatumomab is given by continuous IV at 9 mcg/day days 1-7 of cycle 1, 28 mcg/day days 8-28 of cycle 1, then at 28 mcg/day days 1-28 in subsequent cycles. Pembrolizumab 200 mg IV is given on days 15 and 36 of each 42-day cycle. Patients in CR/CRh after 1-2 cycles will complete 5 cycles. Patients not in CR/CRh after 2 cycles of therapy or progressing after Day 15 of cycle 1 go off study. CNS prophylaxis with IT methotrexate is given at screening and once per cycle. A phase I run-in of 3-6 patients precedes accrual of 18-21 patients for a target of 24. The study opened in July 2017 and 4 patients have been treated. No DLTs have occurred to date. Clinical trial information: NCT03160079
