Official title
Protocol for the Treatment of BCR::ABL1-negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults up to 65 Years
Overview
The goal of this trial is to provide a protocol for treatment for adults with Ph-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and to learn if this provides higher probability of survival than the previous one. The main question is to know if the incorporation of blinatumomab for B-cell precursor ALL, substituting some chemotherapy blocks, offers better probability of survival than the previous trial, which did not use immunotherapy. In addition, T-cell precursor ALL participants will receive different treatment approaches depending on the stage of maturation of the tumor.
Detailed description
Participants will be uniformly treated with four drug-induction: vincristine (VCR), prednisone (PDN), pegylated asparaginase (PegASP), daunorubicin (DNR).
Resistant participants will receive a second induction with inotuzumab for B-cell precursor ALL or with FLAG-Ida (fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin and granulocyte colony stimulating factor) for T-cell precursor ALL.
B-cell precursor ALL participants with adequate MRD clearance after cycle 1 of blinatumomab will receive 3 blocks of early consolidation. If adequate MRD clearance and good genetic background, the patients will proceed to delayed intensification, reinduction and maintenance. The remaining patients will receive early or delayed alloHSCT.
T-cell precursor ALL participants with adequate MRD clearance after the first cycle of consolidation will receive 2 blocks of early consolidation and reinduction. If adequate MRD clearance and good genetic background, the patients will proceed to delayed intensification and maintenance. The remaining patients will receive early or delayed alloHSCT.
Interventions
- Drug Pediatric-type of chemotherapy (+blinatumomab for B-cell precursor ALL)
Pediatric type chemotherapy (induction, early and delayed consolidation, reinduction, maintenance). Induction (VCR,PDN,PegASP,DNR). Early and delayed consolidation (high-dose Methotrexate, high-dose Cytarabine, PegASP). Reinduction (VCR, PDN, PegASP, DNR). Maintenance (Methotrexate, Mercaptopurine). Blinatumomab cycles in consolidation therapy for participants with B-cell precursor ALL. - Procedure Transplantation
allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Primary outcome measures
- Overall survival comparison versus previous trial [Time frame: 5 years]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Complete remission (CR) rate [Time frame: 4 or 8 weeks after treatment onset]
- MRD status after induction and consolidation [Time frame: After induction (4-8 weeks) and consolidation (16-20 weeks)]
- MRD variation between induction and after cycle 1 blinatumomab [Time frame: After induction (4-8 weeks) and after cycle 1 blinatumomab (8-12 weeks)]
- Frequency of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) dut to high-risk genetics [Time frame: 5 years]
- Effect of blinatumomab within each B-cell precursor ALL genetic subtype [Time frame: 5 years]

Exclusion criteria
- Age > 65 years.

- Patients with active chronic liver disease.
- Patients with severe chronic respiratory failure.
- Renal insufficiency not due to ALL.
- Severe neurological disorders, not due to ALL, that contraindicate the use of these treatments (especially blinatumomab).
- History of clinically significant pancreatitis, at the investigator's discretion (taking into account the date of the pancreatitis, its previous severity, and sequelae).
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Psychiatric or mental illness that prevents providing informed consent for sample submission or adequately participating in the study.
- Impaired general health (ECOG scores 3 and 4) not attributable to ALL.
