Eligibility

Who can join

The film gives the main points. The full list below is copied from the registry; the study team makes the final decision.

  • Age18 Years to no maximum
  • SexAll
  • Healthy volunteersNo

You may be able to join if

  • STEP 0: Submission of bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood for MRD analysis is mandatory prior to registration; the bone marrow sample should be from the first aspiration (i.e. first pull). Aspirate needle should be redirected if needed to get first pull bone marrow aspirate. It should be initiated as soon as possible after pre-registration. The specimens should be sent to the HEME Biobank.
  • Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap) and Intrathecal Methotrexate:
  • Patients may receive the day 1 of course IA dose of intrathecal (IT) methotrexate during the prior-to-registration lumbar puncture (or the venous line placement) to avoid a second lumbar puncture. If the dose is administered prior to registration, then systemic chemotherapy must begin within 7 days of this IT chemotherapy.
  • STEP 1: Morphologic diagnosis of precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Patients with Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia are not eligible.
  • STEP 1: CD22-positive disease defined as CD22 expression by >= 20% of lymphoblasts by local hematopathology evaluation.
  • STEP 1: Philadelphia chromosome/BCR-ABL1-negative or Philadelphia chromosome/BCR-ABL1-positive B-cell ALL by cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
  • STEP 1: No active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia (i.e. only CNS-1 disease allowed). Active CNS leukemia is defined as morphologic evidence of lymphoblasts in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), use of CNS-directed local treatment for active disease within 28 days prior to registration, symptomatic CNS leukemia (i.e. cranial nerve palsies or other significant neurological dysfunction) within the 28 days prior to registration, and/or known asymptomatic parenchymal CNS mass lesions; see below for additional guidance. Prophylactic intrathecal medication alone is not an exclusion.
  • Categories of CNS Involvement for CNS Evaluation Prior to Registration:
  • CNS 1: CSF has < 5 WBC/uL with cytospin negative for blasts; or >= 10 red blood cell (RBC)/uL with cytospin negative for blasts.
  • CNS 2: CSF has < 5 WBC/uL with cytospin positive for blasts; or >= 10 RBC/uL with cytospin positive for blasts; or >= 10 RBC/uL, WBC/uL >= 5 but less than Steinherz/Bleyer algorithm with cytospin positive for blasts (see below).
  • CNS 3: CSF has >= 5 WBC/uL with cytospin positive for blasts; or >= 10 RBC/uL, >= 5 WBC/uL and positive by Steinherz/Bleyer algorithm (see below); or clinical signs of CNS leukemia (such as facial nerve palsy, brain/eye involvement or hypothalamic syndrome). Steinherz/Bleyer Method of Evaluating Initial Traumatic Lumbar Punctures:
  • If the patient has leukemia cells in the peripheral blood and the lumbar puncture is traumatic and contains >= 5 WBC/uL with blasts, the following algorithm should be used to define CNS disease: CSF WBC/CSF RBC > 2 x (Blood WBC/Blood RBC count)
  • STEP 1: Patients with known or suspected testicular involvement by leukemia are allowed provided that the patient receives concomitant scrotal/testicular radiotherapy.
  • Unilateral or bilateral testicular enlargement should be assessed by ultrasound or other imaging technique. Biopsy is recommended if clinical findings are equivocal or suggestive of hydrocele or a non-leukemic mass, but further assessments are per treating physician discretion.
  • STEP 1: Not pregnant and not nursing.
  • This study involves agents that have known genotoxic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects. Therefore, for women of childbearing potential only, a negative pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration is required.
  • STEP 1: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status: 0-2
  • STEP 1: No unstable cardiac disease such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, uncontrolled heart failure, or uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia within 6 months of registration.
  • STEP 1: No impaired cardiac function, defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 45% or New York Heart Association (NYHA) stage III or IV congestive heart failure (CHF).
  • STEP 1: Patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are eligible if they have been on effective antiretroviral therapy with an undetectable viral load tested within 6 months of registration.
  • STEP 1: Patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) are eligible only if they meet all the following:
  • On HBV-suppressive therapy.
  • No evidence of active virus.
  • No evidence of HBV-related liver damage.
  • STEP 1: Patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are eligible only if they meet all the following:

  • No evidence of HCV-related liver damage.
  • STEP 1: No history of clinically relevant neurologic disorder such as epilepsy, seizure, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injury, structural brain abnormality, benign brain tumor, dementia, Parkinson's disease, movement disorder, cerebellar disease, or other significant CNS abnormalities.
  • STEP 1: No prior additional malignancy (i.e. in addition to ALL) except adequately treated basal- or squamous-cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for >= 2 years.
  • STEP 1: No history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmia, unexplained non-vasovagal syncope, or chronic bradycardic states such as sinoatrial block or higher degree of atrioventricular block unless a permanent pacemaker has been implanted.
  • STEP 1: No history of chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis.
  • STEP 1: No history of sinusoidal occlusion syndrome/veno-occlusive disease of the liver.
  • STEP 1: No uncontrolled infection or recent history (within 4 months prior to registration) of deep tissue infections such as fasciitis or osteomyelitis.

The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

autologous blinatumomab-expanded T cells. A preparation of autologous, peripheral blood-derived polyclonal activated T cells that have been expanded and activated ex-vivo using blinatumomab and recombinant human IL2 (rhIL-2) and depleted of contaminating CD19+ tumor cells, with potential immunomodulating activity. Upon administration, these blinatumomab-expanded T cells (BET), composed of functional polyclonal CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and mostly effector and central memory cells, may induce immunological recovery. BET cell expansion leads to the lysis and elimination of contaminating CD19+ tumor cells. The elimination of contaminating tumor cells is important in the treatment of non-Hodgkin CD20 + indolent lymphoma (iNHL) and chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL). NCI Drug Dictionary
