Trial Description

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of stop cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lestaurtinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with lestaurtinib may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying giving lestaurtinib together with combination chemotherapy to see how well it works compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating infants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Further Study Information

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

• To compare the 3-year event-free survival of infants with mixed lineage leukemia rearranged (MLL-R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) randomized to treatment with a modified P9407 chemotherapy backbone with or without the FLT3 inhibitor lestaurtinib.

Secondary

• To determine a safe, tolerable, and biologically active dose of lestaurtinib given in sequential combination with chemotherapy in MLL-R infants.

• To characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of lestaurtinib in infants when given at the proposed dose in sequential combination with chemotherapy.

• To identify molecular mechanisms of resistance to lestaurtinib in leukemic blasts.

• To describe levels of minimal residual disease in infants with ALL within the context of the proposed therapy, and correlate with outcome.

• To identify gene expression patterns in diagnostic infant leukemia samples that correlate with outcome within the context of the proposed therapy.

• To describe the outcome of infants with MLL-germline ALL treated with a modified P9407 chemotherapy backbone that includes an extended continuation phase.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to risk group (standard risk [MLL-G: germline or non-rearranged] vs intermediate risk [MLL-R: rearranged, age ≥ 90 days at diagnosis] vs high risk [MLL-R, age < 90 days at diagnosis]).

All patients receive induction therapy (weeks 1-5) comprising vincristine IV on days 8,15, 22, and 29; daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 8 and 9; cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes every 12 hours on days 3 and 4; pegaspargase intramuscularly (IM) on days 15, 18, 22, 25, 29, and 33; oral prednisone or methylprednisolone IV three times daily (TID) on days 1-7; dexamethasone IV or orally TID on days 8-28; cytarabine IV over 30 minutes on days 8-21; triple intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy comprising methotrexate, cytarabine, and hydrocortisone on days 1, 15, and 29; and filgrastim IV or subcutaneously (SC) beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover.

Standard-risk patients are nonrandomly assigned to receive a less-intensive chemotherapy regimen without lestaurtinib (post-induction therapy A).

• Post-induction therapy A (for standard-risk patients [MLL-G]):

• Induction intensification (weeks 6-9): Patients receive high-dose methotrexate IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1 and 8; triple IT chemotherapy on days 1 and 8; leucovorin calcium IV every 6 hours beginning 42 hours after start of high-dose methotrexate and continuing until methotrexate level is < 0.1 μM; cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on days 15-19; etoposide IV over 2 hours on days 15-19; and filgrastim IV or SC beginning on day 20 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients in morphologic remission proceed to re-induction therapy.

• Re-induction (weeks 10-12): Patients receive vincristine IV on days 1, 8, and 15; daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 2; cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes every 12 hours on days 3 and 4; pegaspargase IM on day 4; dexamethasone IV or orally twice daily on days 1-7 and 15-21; triple IT chemotherapy on days 1 and 15; and filgrastim IV or SC beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover.

• Consolidation (weeks 13-19): Patients receive high-dose methotrexate IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1 and 8; leucovorin calcium IV every 6 hours beginning 42 hours after start of high-dose methotrexate and continuing until methotrexate level is < 0.1 μM; triple IT chemotherapy on day 1; etoposide IV over 2 hours on days 15-19; cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on days 15-19; high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours on days 29 and 30; pegaspargase IM on day 30; and filgrastim IV or SC beginning on day 20 and day 31 and continuing until blood counts recover.

• Continuation I (weeks 20-41): Patients receive vincristine IV on day 1 in weeks 20 and 24; dexamethasone IV or orally twice daily on days 1-5 in weeks 20 and 24; triple IT chemotherapy on day 1 in weeks 20 and 24; methotrexate IV on day 1 in weeks 21-23 and 25-27; etoposide IV over 2 hours on days 1-5 in week 28; cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5 in week 28; oral mercaptopurine on days 1-7 in weeks 21-23 and 25-27; and filgrastim SC or IV beginning on day 6 in week 28 and continuing until blood counts recover. This course is repeated in weeks 31-41.

• Continuation II (weeks 42-104): Patients receive vincristine IV on days 1, 29, and 57; dexamethasone IV or orally twice daily on days 1-5, 29-33, and 57-61; intrathecal methotrexate (IT MTX) on day 1; oral methotrexate on days 8, 15, 22, 36, 43, 50, 64, 71, and 78; and oral mercaptopurine on days 8-28, 36-56, and 64-84. Treatment repeats every 12 weeks for 2 years from diagnosis.

A safety/activity phase is conducted separately for the intermediate-risk (IR) and high-risk (HR) patients to identify a safe, tolerable, and biologically active dose of lestaurtinib combined with P9407-based chemotherapy backbone. Once a tolerable/active dose of lestaurtinib has been identified for IR patients, subsequent IR patients are eligible to proceed to an efficacy phase (efficacy phase began on 01/28/2011), where they are randomized to P9407-based chemotherapy backbone with or without lestaurtinib. HR patients separately proceed to the randomized efficacy phase if a tolerable/active dose is identified for the HR stratum (efficacy phase began on 02/03/2012). IR and HR patients are randomized to 1 of 2 post-induction therapy regimens (post-induction therapy B or C).

• Post-induction therapy B (chemotherapy only for IR/HR patients classified as MLL-R; age ≥ 90 days at diagnosis):

• Induction intensification (weeks 6-9): Patients receive high-dose methotrexate, leucovorin calcium, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and filgrastim as in post-induction therapy A induction intensification. Patients in morphologic remission proceed to re-induction.

• Re-induction (weeks 10-12): Patients receive vincristine, daunorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, pegaspargase, dexamethasone, triple IT chemotherapy, and filgrastim as in post-induction therapy A re-induction.
