About this study

This is a phase II clinical trial using risk-adapted therapy. The treatment is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)-based therapy, using multi-agent regimens comprising of induction, consolidation, and continuation (maintenance) phases delivered over 24-30 months. Participants will be classified into 3 treatment stratums, based on bone marrow/peripheral blood lymphoma cells involvement at diagnosis and day 8 for T-lymphoblastic lymphoma and bone marrow/peripheral blood lymphoma cells involvement at diagnosis for B-lymphoblastic lymphoma.

The Primary Objective of this study is:

Read more

To improve the outcome of children with lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) who have minimal disseminated disease (MDD) equal to or more than 1% at diagnosis by using MDD- and minimal residual disease (MRD)- based risk-adapted therapy.

The Secondary Objectives of this study are:

  • To estimate the event-free survival and overall survival of children with lymphoblastic lymphoma who are treated with MDD- or MRD-based risk- directed therapy.
  • To evaluate the prognostic value of levels of MDD at diagnosis and MRD on day 8 of remission induction.
Read the detailed description

TREATMENT PLAN

Treatment will consist of 3 main phases: remission induction, consolidation [only for patients with any central nervous system (CNS) disease and/or testicular involvement], and continuation.

  • Induction (6-7 weeks).
  • Consolidation for participants with CNS involvement or those with testicular disease only (10 weeks).
  • Reintensification - Participants with residual disease any time after induction therapy may receive 1-2 cycles of re-intensification therapy and may proceed to allogeneic stem cell transplant if suitable donor is available.
  • Continuation Therapy (98-120 weeks).
  • Intrathecal Chemotherapy (days 1 and 15; if needed also on days 8 and 22)

TREATMENT SCHEME

  • Induction
  • Single dose of Cyclophosphamide
  • Steroid: prednisone
  • Continuation: 98 weeks

T lymphoblastic lymphoma: BM/PB involvement (MDD/MRD): Diagnosis: equal to or greater than 1%; Day 8: - (Stratum 2)

  • Induction
  • Fractionated Cyclophosphamide
  • Steroid: prednisone
  • Continuation : 98 weeks

T lymphoblastic lymphoma: BM/PB involvement (MDD/MRD): Diagnosis: equal to or greater than 1%; Day 8: + (Stratum 3)

  • Induction
  • Fractionated Cyclophosphamide
  • Steroid: prednisone and dexamethasone
  • Continuation: 120 weeks

B lymphoblastic lymphoma: Stage I-III (Stratum 1)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Probability of Event-free Survival (EFS)

    For EFS, relapse and second malignancies are considered as failures in addition to death in complete remission. The time to EFS will be set to 0 for patients who fail to achieve complete remission. Kaplan-Meier estimates of the OS and EFS curves are computed, along with estimates of standard errors by Peto's method.

    Please note the unit of measurement of probabilities are percentages.

    Measured: Two years post therapy.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Probability of Overall Survival (OS)

    For OS, only deaths are considered failures for OS. Kaplan-Meier estimates of the OS curves are computed along with estimates of standard errors by Peto's method.

    Please note the unit of measurement of probabilities are percentages.

    Measured: Two years post therapy.

  2. Minimal Disseminated Disease (MDD)

    Detectable disease in bone marrow or blood: A binary measure, positive (detectable), negative (non-detectable)

    Measured: At Diagnosis

  3. Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)

    Detectable disease in bone marrow or blood: A binary measure, positive (detectable), negative (non-detectable)

    Measured: Day 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Prednisone, Vincristine and Daunorubicin in people with Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 May 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Probability of Event-free Survival (EFS) (time frame: Two years post therapy.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jun 2022.
