Objectives

Primary

  1. Compare the relative safety and efficacy of augmented Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster-86 multiagent chemotherapy with or without nelarabine in younger patients with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).
  2. Compare the relative safety and efficacy of interim maintenance therapy comprising high-dose methotrexate (with leucovorin calcium rescue) and mercaptopurine vs escalating-dose methotrexate ( without leucovorin calcium rescue) and pegaspargase in these patients.

Secondary

  1. Determine the relative safety and efficacy of withholding radiotherapy in patients with low -risk T-ALL and administering prophylactic cranial radiotherapy in patients with intermediate- or high-risk T-ALL.

Outline

This is a randomized, controlled, factorial-group, multicenter study.

  • Induction therapy (weeks 1-5): Patients receive cytarabine intrathecally (IT) on day 1; vincristine IV and daunorubicin hydrochloride IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; prednisone IV or orally twice daily on days 1-28; pegaspargase intramuscularly (IM) on day 4, 5, OR 6; and methotrexate (MTX) IT on days 8 and 29*. Patients with Down syndrome (DS) also receive oral leucovorin calcium at 48 and 60 hours after each MTX dose.

    After completion of induction therapy, patients undergo risk assessment. Patients with M1 marrow and minimal residual disease (MRD) < 1% (defined as low- and intermediate-risk) proceed to consolidation therapy at day 36 or when blood counts recover (whichever occurs later). Patients with M2 marrow (5-25% blasts) and/or MRD ≥ 1% (defined as high-risk) proceed to consolidation therapy as soon as possible (i.e., they should not wait until day 36 or for blood counts to recover). Patients with M3 marrow (≥ 25% blasts) (defined as induction failure) proceed to consolidation therapy as soon as possible.

     [Note: *Patients with CNS3 disease also receive MTX IT on days 15 and 22.]



  • Consolidation therapy (weeks 6-13): During the safety phase portion of the study, patients with low-risk or intermediate-risk disease are randomized to arms I or III. Patients with high-risk disease are randomized to arms I, II, III, or IV. During the efficacy phase portion of the study, patients with low-risk disease are randomized to arms I and III. Patients with intermediate-risk or high-risk disease are randomized to arms I, II, III, or IV. The safety phase ends when the first 20 high-risk patients to receive nelarabine have been evaluated. Patients with DS are nonrandomly assigned to arm I. Patients with induction failure are nonrandomly assigned to arm IV.
    • Arm I: Patients receive MTX IT on days 1, 8, 15, and 22*; cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 29; cytarabine IV or subcutaneously (SC) on days 1-4, 8-11, 29-32, and 36-39; oral mercaptopurine on days 1-14 and 29-42; vincristine IV on days 15, 22, 43 and 50; and pegaspargase IM on days 15 and 43. Patients with DS also receive oral leucovorin calcium at 48 and 60 hours after each MTX dose. Patients with persistent testicular disease or with DS and testicular disease undergo testicular radiotherapy on days 11-12, 15-19, and 22-26. Patients with intermediate-risk or high-risk disease (CNS1 or CNS2) undergo prophylactic cranial radiotherapy (CRT) (1,200 cGy/dose) once daily on days 15-19 and 22-24. Patients with low-risk disease do not undergo CRT.

       [Note: *Patients with CNS3 disease omit MTX IT on days 15 and 22; patients with high-risk disease omit MTX IT on day 1 and add an extra dose at day 29. ]



    • Arm II: Patients receive nelarabine IV over 60 minutes on days 1-5 and 43-47; MTX IT on days 15, 22*, 57, and 64; cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on days 8 and 50; cytarabine IV or SC on days 8-11, 15-18, 50-53 and 57-60; oral mercaptopurine on days 8-21 and 50-63; vincristine IV on days 22, 29, 64, and 71; and pegaspargase IM on days 22 and 64. Patients with persistent testicular disease or with DS and testicular disease undergo testicular radiotherapy on days 15, 22-26, and 29-33. Patients with intermediate-risk or high-risk disease (CNS1 or CNS2) undergo prophylactic CRT once daily on days 22-26 and 29-31.

       [Note: *Patients with CNS3 disease omit MTX IT on day 22.]



    • Arm III: Patients receive MTX, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, vincristine, and pegaspargase as in arm I. Patients with persistent testicular disease or with DS and testicular disease undergo testicular radiotherapy as in arm I.


    • Arm IV: Patients receive nelarabine, MTX, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, vincristine, and pegaspargase as in arm II. Patients with persistent testicular disease or with DS and testicular disease undergo testicular radiotherapy as in arm II.


    Once blood counts recover, patients proceed to interim maintenance therapy according to their randomized/assigned arm. Patients not achieving M1 marrow by the end of consolidation therapy are removed from the study.



  • Interim maintenance therapy (weeks 14-21 for arms I and III; weeks 17-24 for arms II and IV):
    • Arm I: Patients receive vincristine IV and escalating doses of MTX IV on days 1, 11, 21, 31, and 41; pegaspargase* IM on days 2 and 22; and MTX IT on days 1 and 31. Patients with DS also receive oral leucovorin calcium 48 and 60 hours after each MTX IT dose.

       [Note: *Patients with an allergy to pegaspargase receive Erwinia asparaginase on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, and 32.]



    • Arm II: Patients receive vincristine, escalating doses of MTX, pegaspargase, and MTX IT as in arm I.


    • Arm III: Patients receive high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) IV over 24 hours and vincristine IV on days 1, 15, 29, and 43; oral mercaptopurine on days 1-56; and MTX IT on days 1 and 29. Beginning 42 hours after the start of HDMTX, patients also receive leucovorin calcium IV or orally once every 6 hours for 3 doses.


    • Arm IV: Patients receive HDMTX, vincristine, mercaptopurine, MTX IT, and leucovorin calcium as in arm III.


    Once blood counts recover, patients proceed to delayed instensification therapy according to their randomized/assigned arm.

    All patients with CNS3 disease at diagnosis undergo CRT (1,800cGy/dose) once daily on days 50-54 and 57-61.

    Once blood counts recover, patients proceed to maintenance therapy according to their randomized/assigned arm.



  • Maintenance therapy (week 31 until the end of therapy for arms I and III; weeks 34-69 for arms II and IV):
