- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than once drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. It is not yet known whether giving clofarabine or high-dose cytarabine, pegaspargase, and combination chemotherapy followed by daunorubicin hydrochloride or doxorubicin hydrochloride is more effective in treating young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying the side effects of giving clofarabine compared with giving high-dose cytarabine, pegaspargase, and combination chemotherapy followed by daunorubicin hydrochloride or doxorubicin hydrochloride and to see how well it works in treating young patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* To investigate the safety and efficacy of clofarabine combined with pegaspargase in patients with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia during the first phase of the study. (Phase II)
* To investigate, in terms of minimal-residual disease (MRD), the cytotoxic efficacy of clofarabine compared with high-dose cytarabine in combination with pegaspargase in these patients. (Phase III)
* To compare the incidence of infectious complications after the administration of daunorubicin hydrochloride versus doxorubicin hydrochloride during reinduction.
Secondary
* To compare the safety profiles of clofarabine and pegaspargase versus high-dose cytarabine and pegaspargase in these patients.
* To compare, in terms of MRD, the efficacy of clofarabine and pegaspargase and high-dose cytarabine and pegaspargase, respectively, versus methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, and asparaginase in study GER-COALL-07-03, the historical control group (retrospective comparison).
* To determine the influence of MRD-based stratification in COALL-09 on overall survival and event-free survival in a historical comparison of previous COALL studies.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, sequential phase II/III study. Patients are stratified to low risk (LR) or high risk (HR) depending on peripheral white blood cell count on diagnosis, age on diagnosis, and immunological subtype. Patients undergo 2 randomizations (1 during intensification and 1 during reinduction) in the study.
* Preliminary treatment: All patients receive daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 24 hours on day -7 and methotrexate intrathecally (IT) once on day -9, -8, or -7.
* Induction: All patients receive vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 24 hours on days 1, 8, and 15; and oral prednisone 3-4 times daily on days 1-28.
Patients are assessed for minimal-residual disease (MRD) status after induction phase. Patients not in remission on day 29 are treated off study. Patients with LR disease are further stratified to LR-reduced (LR-R), LR-standard (LR-S), and LR-intensified (LR-I) groups; patients with HR disease are further stratified to HR-reduced (HR-R), HR-standard (HR-S), and HR-intensified (HR-I) groups. Patients in the LR-R and HR-R groups do not undergo randomization during study.
* Intensification (randomization 1): Patients receive therapy according to risk and disease subtypes. Some patients in different risk group are randomized\* to receive high-dose (HD) cytarabine and pegaspargase or clofarabine and pegaspargase.
