Isatuximab in Adult Patients With Cytologic or Molecular Relapsed/Refractory CD38 Positive T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Phase 2

Conditions
T-ALL
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06648889
Lead Sponsor
Goethe University
Brief Summary

The planned trial offers treatment cohorts for patients with full cytologic relapse (R/R ALL - Cohort 1), as well as for patients with molecular failure/relapse (MRD+ ALL - Cohort 2). Basically, the study aims to develop data for optimization of first-line therapy of T-ALL, either by modification of standard induction with Isatuximab or by establishing a post-induction therapy for eradication of MRD and thereby evaluates in parallel two different strategies.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients with CD38 positive T-ALL fitting either to the definitions for cohort 1 or cohort 2:

  • late relapse later than 12 months from first achievement of CR or
  • primary refractory disease without any CR or
  • any relapse after stem cell transplantation or
  • any refractory relapse, defined as no response to at least one salvage therapy or
  • any second or later relapse and
  • Availability of patient material with blast cells (bone marrow or peripheral blood) for central MRD assessment or availability of respective predefined marker.

Cohort 2: In complete hematological remission (defined as less than 5% blasts in bone marrow and no evidence of extramedullary disease) after at least three chemotherapy cycles (induction I-II, consolidation I)

  • Detection of quantifiable MRD at a level of ≥10-4, either as molecular failure without prior achievement of molecular remission or molecular relapse after prior achievement of molecular remission
  • MRD assay at the central reference lab with at least one marker a minimum sensitivity of 10-4
  • MRD detection for study inclusion after an interval of at least 2 weeks from last systemic chemotherapy including antibody therapy
  • (in patients without clonal molecular MRD marker, MRD testing can be based on flow-cytometry established in reference laboratory)

ECOG status:

  • Cohort 1: 0-2
  • Cohort 2: 0-1

Age ≥ 18 years Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent indicating that the patient has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study Patient must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures

Cohort 2:

  • Neutrophils ≥1.000/uL
  • Platelets ≥50.000/uL

Adequate liver function defined as follows:

Exclusion Criteria
  • Extramedullary involvement except for non-bulky (<7.5 cm) lymph node involvement, splenomegaly, or hepatomegaly
  • Patients who have received prior antileukemic immunotherapy within 2 weeks prior to start of Isatuximab treatment
  • Patients who have received treatment for leukemia with chemotherapy as follows:

Cohort 1:

  • Patients who have received treatment for leukemia with chemotherapy within 2 weeks prior to start of Isatuximab treatment (exception: pre-phase therapy with 5-7 days of Dexamethasone, 3 days of Cyclophosphamide; intrathecal prophylaxis)
  • Patients who are candidates for a treatment with Nelarabine

Cohort 2:

  • Any chemotherapy or antibody therapy after the MRD assay leading to study inclusion (exception: intrathecal prophylaxis)
  • Patients must have recovered from acute non-hematologic toxicity from previous therapies to ≤ grade I unless signs or symptoms are correlated to leukemia involvement
  • Prior SCT ≤ 3 months from start of study treatment
  • Acute GvHD ≥ grade II or active chronic GvHD requiring systemic treatment
  • Any systemic GvHD prophylaxis or treatment within 2 weeks from start of study treatment
  • Known HIV positivity, known hepatitis B surface antigen positivity or known history of hepatitis C
  • Unstable or severe uncontrolled medical condition e.g. unstable cardiac function or unstable pulmonary condition
  • Treatment with an investigational agent within 4 weeks from start of study treatment (safety follow-up period of respective study)
  • Concurrent active malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or localized prostate cancer that has been treated with radiation or surgery; patients with previous malignancies are eligible if they have been disease free for ≥ 2 years and do not require any antitumor therapy.
  • Evidence of uncontrolled current serious active infection or recent history (within 4 months) of deep tissue infections such as fasciitis or osteomyelitis
  • Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to boron or Mannitol, corticosteroids, mAb (including Isatuximab) or human proteins, or their excipients (refer to respective Summary of Product Characteristics), or known sensitivity to mammalian-derived products.
  • Active infection, any other concurrent disease or medical condition that are deemed to interfere with the conduct of the study as judged by the investigator
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding females
  • Vaccination with live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks of first study agent administration.
  • Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgement of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study

GMALL-IsatuximabIsatuximabCohort 1: In this Cohort, Isatuximab shall be implemented as part of a combination therapy for patients with R/R T-ALL, defined as bone marrow infiltration of ≥5% (R/R T-ALL). Cohort 2: In this Cohort, Isatuximab shall be implemented as single drug treatment for patients with molecular failure/relapse. Cohort 2 will include patients with hematologic remission (bone marrow blast count \<5%) of T-cell ALL, but with molecular failure or molecular relapse (MRD+ T-ALL).
