Mini Hyper-CVD with Condensed Rituximab, Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Blinatumomab (cRIB) for the Treatment of Relapsed B-Cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial test how well cyclophosphamide, vincristine and dexamethasone (mini hyper-CVD) together with inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab works in treating pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia that has returned after treatment (relapsed). Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a cytotoxic drug, called ozogamicin. Inotuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD22 receptors, and delivers ozogamicin to kill them. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of drugs called alkylating agents and works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. Dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, and prednisone are in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Giving mini hyper-CVD in combination with intrathecal chemotherapy (methotrexate, hydrocortisone and cytarabine) and cRIB may kill more cancer cells in pediatric patients with recurrent B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia.
