A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Daratumumab in Pediatric and Young Adult Participants Greater Than or Equal to (>=)1 and Less Than or Equal to (<=) 30 Years of Age With Relapsed/Refractory Precursor B-cell or T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

Registration Number
NCT03384654
Lead Sponsor
Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of daratumumab in addition to standard chemotherapy in pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)/lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) and T-cell ALL/LL as measured by the complete response (CR) rate.

Detailed Description

Screening for eligible participants will be performed within 21 days before administration of the study drug. Participants with B-cell ALL/LL will receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or achievement of CR followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Participants with T cell ALL/LL will receive treatment for up to 2 cycles. If disease progression is confirmed, then the participant will discontinue study treatment, complete the End of Treatment Visit, and enter the Posttreatment Period. For those participants who discontinue study drug prior to disease progression, disease evaluations will continue to be performed every 8 weeks until subsequent anticancer therapy is initiated.

This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for specified arms only.

Cohort 1: Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)Up to 2 cycles, that is, up to 56 days (each cycle of 28-days)

Complete response based on the modified National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria was defined as: less than 5 percent (%) blasts in the bone marrow; no evidence of circulating blasts or extramedullary disease; full recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets greater than (\>)100\*10\^9 cells/liter (L) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>1.0\*10\^9 cells/L. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for specified arm only.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

For ALL participants, ORR was defined as percentage of participants who achieved CR or CR with only partial hematological recovery(CRi) as per NCCN criteria. CR for ALL: less than 5% blasts in bone marrow; no evidence of circulating blasts or extramedullary disease; full recovery of peripheral blood counts: platelets \>100\*10\^9 cells/L and ANC \>1.0\*10\^9 cells/L. CRi for ALL: less than 5% blasts in bone marrow; no evidence of circulating blasts or extramedullary disease; partial recovery of peripheral blood counts not meeting criteria for CR. For LL participants, ORR was defined as percentage of participants who had CR or PR during or after treatment administration but prior to start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant(HSCT). CR for LL: disappearance of all evidence of disease from all sites. PR for LL: decrease of \>=50% in sum of products of diameter of lesions of up to 6 of largest dominant nodes or nodal masses with no new lesions.

Event-free Survival (EFS)Up to 4 years 4 months

EFS was defined as the time (in months) from the date of first treatment to the first documented treatment failure (that is \[ie\], disease progression) or date of relapse from CR or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Per NCCN criteria, relapse from CR is defined as: reappearance of leukemia blasts in the peripheral blood or \>5% blasts in the bone marrow; reappearance of extramedullary disease or new extramedullary disease. Progressive disease: increase of at least 25% in the absolute number of circulating peripheral or bone marrow blasts, or development of new extramedullary disease. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis.

Relapse-free Survival (RFS)Up to 4 years 4 months

RFS was defined as the time (in months) from CR to relapse from CR, or disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. For ALL, as per NCCN criteria, relapse from CR is defined as: reappearance of leukemia blasts in the peripheral blood or \>5% blasts in the bone marrow, or reappearance of extramedullary disease or new extramedullary disease. Progressive disease: increase of at least 25% in absolute number of circulating peripheral or bone marrow blasts, or development of new extramedullary disease. Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis.
