About this trial

This is a clinical trial testing whether the addition of one of two chemotherapy agents, dasatinib or venetoclax, can improve outcomes for children and young adults with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma or mixed phenotype acute leukemia.

Primary Objective

* To evaluate if the end of induction MRD-negative rate is higher in patients with T-ALL treated with dasatinib compared to similar patients treated with 4-drug induction on AALL1231. * To evaluate if the end of induction MRD-negative rate is higher in patients with ETP or near-ETP ALL treated with venetoclax compared to similar patients treated with 4-drug induction on AALL1231.

Secondary Objectives

* To assess the event free and overall survival of patients treated with this therapy. * To compare grade 4 toxicities, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients treated with this therapy in induction and reinduction to toxicities of similar patients treated on TOT17.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity rate in patients with T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Comparison of the probability of achieving negative MRD (\<0.01%) and M1 bone marrow status at the end of induction between this protocol and COG AALL1231 will be performed. Statistical analysis of the primary objective will be conducted according to a group sequential design with 1 interim analysis, by a slightly modified version of the procedure for binary endpoint.

Time frame
Up to end of induction day 29 or death
2

MRD-negativity rate in patients with ETP or near ETP ALL

The proportion of patients with ETP or near-ETP treated with venetoclax based induction will be compared to the rate of such unsuccessful induction in patients treated on AALL1231 with a standard 4-drug induction. The probability of achieving negative MRD will be tested using a one-sided exact binomial proportion test.

Time frame
Up to end of induction day 29 or death

Secondary outcomes

1

Event-free survival (EFS)

Kaplan-Meier estimates for EFS will be calculated along with standard error.

Time frame
Up to 10 years
2

Overall survival (OS)

Kaplan-Meier estimates for OS will be calculated along with standard error.

Time frame
Up to 10 years
3

Incidence of grade 4 toxicities

Adverse events will be graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 and compared using Fisher's or exact Chi-square test.

Time frame
Up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment
4

EFS compared to Total 17 (TOT17-NCT03117751)

Comparisons of EFS to the corresponding TOT17 will be performed by the log-rank test.

Time frame
Up to 10 years
