Brief Summary
This phase II trial tests the addition of venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to usual chemotherapy for treating infants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-rearranged \[R\]) or without a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-germline \[G\]). Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with ALL than standard chemotherapy alone, but it may also cause more side effects. This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to chemotherapy for the treatment of infants with KMT2A-R or KMT2A-G ALL.
Brief Title
Testing the Addition of the Anti-cancer Drug Venetoclax and/or the Anti-cancer Immunotherapy Blinatumomab to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment for Infants With Newly Diagnosed KMT2A-rearranged or KMT2A-non-rearranged Leukemia
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of venetoclax in addition to a standard chemotherapy backbone and two cycles of blinatumomab in infants (aged 365 days or less at diagnosis) with newly diagnosed KMT2A-R ALL.
II. To determine in a randomized manner if the addition of venetoclax to induction chemotherapy improves end of induction minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative remission rates in infants with KMT2A-R ALL.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the MRD-negative remission rate for all eligible infants with KMT2A-R ALL treated with venetoclax at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
II. To compare event free survival (EFS) rates of infants with KMT2A-R ALL treated on arm B to those treated on arm A.
III. To compare 3-year EFS rates of infants with KMT2A-R ALL treated on arm A to historical controls.
IV. To determine the feasibility of treating infants with KMT2A-G ALL with a Children's Oncology Group (COG) high risk ALL chemotherapy backbone and two cycles of blinatumomab and estimate the 3-year EFS rate of infants with KMT2A-G ALL treated on arm C.
V. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of venetoclax in infants.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe 3-year EFS rate of infants with KMT2A-R ALL treated on arm B. II. To evaluate the use of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) for MRD detection in infant ALL compared to centralized flow cytometry.
III. To characterize the PK of calaspargase pegol-mknl in infants with ALL. IV. To report the incidence of CD19 negative relapse and myeloid switch relapse with protocol therapy.
V. To evaluate the impact of venetoclax in combination with chemotherapy on T-cell subsets and function.
VI. To describe the feasibility of T-cell collection and success of T-cell manufacturing for infants with KMT2A-R ALL who receive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T- cell therapy after coming off protocol therapy.
VII. To determine predictors of response and resistance to venetoclax and overall protocol therapy.
VIII. To evaluate the impact of subsequent anti-cancer therapy on overall survival after coming off protocol therapy.

Secondary Outcomes
Outcome Description
MRD-negative remission rate at the end of induction and the standard error or 95% confidence interval will be estimated among infants with KMT2A-R acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with venetoclax at the RP2D. This analysis will include eligible KMT2A-R patients treated with venetoclax at the RP2D in the safety phase, as well as patients randomized to Arm B and treated with venetoclax in the expansion phase. MRD negativity is defined as \< 0.01% by flow cytometry.
Outcome Time Frame
At the end of induction
Outcome Measure
MRD-negative remission rate
Outcome Description
The EFS rates from date of randomization of Arm B will be compared to Arm A. Comparison of EFS rates between Arm A and Arm B will be based on a one-sided logrank test with Type I error of 0.15.
Outcome Time Frame
From date of randomization to treatment failure, first documented relapse following achievement of remission-1, occurrence of a second or secondary malignant neoplasm, or death, assessed up to 3 years
Outcome Measure
Event free survival (EFS) rates of infants with KMT2A-R ALL
Outcome Description
For Arm A, the 3-year EFS rate (representing a plateau rate based on the shape of EFS curves of historical data in this patient population) from the date of randomization will be compared to the stable historical 3-year EFS rate of 35% observed in AALL0631 and other international trials.
Outcome Time Frame
From date of randomization to treatment failure, first documented relapse following achievement of remission-1, occurrence of a second or secondary malignant neoplasm, or death, assessed up to 3 years
Outcome Measure
3-year EFS of infants with KMT2A-R ALL
Outcome Description
The feasibility of treating KMT2A-G patients with a high-risk ALL backbone and two cycles of blinatumomab (Arm C) will be assessed. Arm C treatment will be considered feasible for KMT2A-G patients if the proportion of KMT2A-G patients in Arm C who are able to receive all treatment cycles before maintenance (i.e., up to interim maintenance 2) is more than 76.8%. The proportion of patients receiving all cycles before Maintenance will be compared to 76.8% with a one-sample exact test of proportion with Type I error of 0.15.
Outcome Time Frame
Up to interim maintenance 2
Outcome Measure
Proportion of KMT2A-germline (G) patients in Arm C who are able to receive all treatment cycles before maintenance

From date of enrollment to treatment failure, first documented relapse following achievement of remission-1, occurrence of a second or secondary malignant neoplasm, or death, assessed up to 3 years
Outcome Measure
3-year EFS of infants with KMT2A-G ALL treated on Arm C
Outcome Description
PK samples will be collected from patients enrolled in the safety phase of the study as well as from patients randomized to Arm B in the expansion phase who consent to participate, to determine the major secondary objective of characterizing the PK of venetoclax in infants. PK samples will be evaluated in batches and standard nonlinear mixed effect modeling will be used for model building and refinement of time-concentration data. After model refinement, a non-parametric bootstrap analysis will be performed reporting the 95% confidence intervals for each PK parameter.
