Etoposide, Prednisone, Vincristine Sulfate, Cyclophosphamide, and Doxorubicin in Treating Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin (DA-EPOCH) works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin, 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.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Number of Participants With Morphological Complete Response Rate
Morphological complete remission (CR) was determined by bone marrow aspirate morphology and defined as \<5% blasts by morphology, absolute neutrophil count \>1000/uL, and platelet count \>100,000/uL.
Within 4 cycles of study therapy
Number of Participants With Complete Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) Response Rate
Response was determined by having no detectable disease by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC-). For Ph+ subjects, complete molecular response (CMR) by BCR-ABL RT-PCR was assigned when MFC was undetectable. When no measurable residual disease was detected by MFC (MFC-) per EuroFlow criteria, high-throughput sequencing-based MRD testing (HTS; ClonoSEQ) was performed.
Within 4 cycles of study therapy
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Within 28 days of the last dose of the study drugs
Overall Survival
Up to 2 years
Event-free Survival
Up to 2 years
Study Arms (1)
Treatment (chemotherapy)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive etoposide IV over 96 hours, doxorubicin IV over 96 hours, and vincristine sulfate IV over 96 hours on days 1-4. Patients also receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on day 5 and prednisone PO BID on days 1-5. Patients who are Ph+ also receive imatinib mesylate or dasatinib PO QD on days 1-14. Patients who are CD20+ also receive rituximab IV on day 1 or day 5. Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of either:
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
- Lymphoblastic lymphoma with detectable abnormal blasts in the bone marrow
- In the opinion of the treating investigator, patients must be an unsuitable candidate for a pediatric-inspired regimen, reasons for which may include (but not be limited to) older age (i.e., \>= 40 years), practical/logistical barriers to or toxicity concerns from administration of a pediatric-inspired regimen, or Ph+ disease
- Total bilirubin =\< 2.0 x institutional upper limit of normal (\[ULN\]; unless attributable to Gilbert's disease or other causes of inherited indirect hyperbilirubinemia, at which point total bilirubin must be =\< 4.0 x ULN)
- Aspartate aminotransferases (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 5.0 x institutional ULN; (Note: patients with liver test abnormalities attributable to hepatic involvement by ALL will be permitted if the total bilirubin is =\< 5.0 x ULN and ALT/AST are =\< 8.0 x ULN)
- Creatinine =\< 2.0 mg/dL; however, patients with a creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dL but with a calculated creatinine clearance of \> 30 ml/min, as measured by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, will be eligible
- As patients with ALL frequently have cytopenias, no hematologic parameters will be required for enrollment or to receive the first cycle of treatment; however, adequate recovery of blood counts will be required to receive subsequent cycles)
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2; (performance status of 3 will be allowed if poor performance status is thought to be directly secondary to ALL)
- Must agree to the use of effective contraception while on study treatment, unless they are highly unlikely to conceive (defined as \[1\] surgically sterilized, or \[2\] postmenopausal \[i.e., a woman who is \> 50 years old or who has not had menses for \>= 1 year\], or \[3\] not heterosexually active for the duration of the study)
- Ability to give informed consent and comply with the protocol
- Anticipated survival of at least 3 months, independent of ALL
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia
- Patients must not have received any prior systemic therapy for ALL, except for the acute management of hyperleukocytosis or acute symptoms (e.g., corticosteroids, cytarabine, etc.)
- Patients with isolated extramedullary disease or with known parenchymal central nervous system (CNS) disease
- Known hypersensitivity or intolerance to any of the agents under investigation
- Other medical or psychiatric conditions that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude safe participation in the protocol
- May not be pregnant or nursing

Limitations and Caveats
The sample sizes in this study are relatively small, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions regarding response rate and survival with this regimen.
