NCT01616238

Brief Summary

The NCRI Adult ALL sub-group propose to collaborate with the Dutch/Belgian group HOVON to carry out a prospective, non randomised multi-arm study (including a choice of regimen intensity) to investigate the safety, tolerability and feasibility of a standardised therapy protocol for patients ≥ 60 years old with de novo ALL. The overall aim is define a basic standard of care upon which trials of novel therapies will be based in future. The design of the study will enable collection of a comprehensive dataset regarding the clinical outcome, Complete Response Rate (CR) and Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) response rates in a previously completely uncharacterised population, thus providing the essential platform for designing future randomised advanced phase studies in which new therapeutic approaches and novel therapies can be prospectively investigated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Complete remission rate after 2 phases of induction

    All patients will be assessed for their remission status at the end of Phase 2 induction. The CR rate at this timepoint will then be calculated.

    Approximately 2 months after start of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Complete remission rate after 1 phase of induction

    Approximately 1 month after start of treatment

  • Overall Survival at 1 year

    1 year after registration

  • Prognostic significance of molecularly determined minimal residual disease (MRD) at various time-points during therapy with respect to relapse occurrence.

    At diagnosis, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after starting treatment

  • Tolerability of treatment as determined by occurrence of key adverse effects

    Approximately 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks after starting treatment

  • Duration of in-patient hospitalisation

    Approximately 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 after starting treatment and every 3 months during maintenance

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (5)

Philadelphia Positive Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

All patients with Philadelphia positive ALL will be treated in this group and will receive a standard imatinib-containing chemotherapy regimen

Drug: Chemotherapy

Philadelphia -ve Patients- Intensive

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with Philadelphia negative ALL who are fit for intensive treatment will be allocated into this group.

Drug: Chemotherapy

Philadelphia -ve Patients- Intensive +

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with Philadelphia negative disease and who are fit for intensive treatment will be entered into this group

Drug: Chemotherapy

Philadelphia -ve Patients- Non Intensive

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with Philadelphia negative disease who are not fit for intensive chemotherapy will be entered into this group

Drug: Chemotherapy

Registration only

NO INTERVENTION

Patients with either Philadelphia positive or negative ALL who do not wish to enter the study will be allocated to this group for data collection purposes only.

Interventions

Treatment for all pathways consists of Induction, Intensification (where applicable), Consolidation and Maintenance therapy during which combination chemotherapy is given for up to 2.5 years.
