Isatuximab in Adult Patients With Cytologic or Molecular Relapsed/Refractory CD38 Positive T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
A Multicenter, Single-arm Phase II Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Isatuximab in Adult Patients With Cytologic or Molecular Relapsed/Refractory CD38 Positive T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (GMALL-Isatuximab)

Brief Summary
The planned trial offers treatment cohorts for patients with full cytologic relapse (R/R ALL - Cohort 1), as well as for patients with molecular failure/relapse (MRD+ ALL - Cohort 2). Basically, the study aims to develop data for optimization of first-line therapy of T-ALL, either by modification of standard induction with Isatuximab or by establishing a post-induction therapy for eradication of MRD and thereby evaluates in parallel two different strategies.

Study Arms (1)
GMALL-Isatuximab
EXPERIMENTALCohort 1: In this Cohort, Isatuximab shall be implemented as part of a combination therapy for patients with R/R T-ALL, defined as bone marrow infiltration of ≥5% (R/R T-ALL). Cohort 2: In this Cohort, Isatuximab shall be implemented as single drug treatment for patients with molecular failure/relapse. Cohort 2 will include patients with hematologic remission (bone marrow blast count \<5%) of T-cell ALL, but with molecular failure or molecular relapse (MRD+ T-ALL).
Interventions
Cohort 1: All patients will receive two cycles of induction therapy with standard chemotherapy, Bortezomib and Isatuximab. Isatuximab maintenance may be administered in patients with CR until SCT, progression/relapse, unacceptable toxicity, physicians' decision to change treatment or withdrawal of consent.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- \- Patients with CD38 positive T-ALL fitting either to the definitions for cohort 1 or cohort 2:
- Cohort 1: In relapse or with primary refractory disease defined as ≥5% blasts in bone marrow after at least three chemotherapy cycles (induction I-II, consolidation I) with the following additional specifications:
- early relapse within 12 months from first achievement of CR or
- late relapse later than 12 months from first achievement of CR or
- primary refractory disease without any CR or
- any relapse after stem cell transplantation or
- any refractory relapse, defined as no response to at least one salvage therapy or
- any second or later relapse and
- Availability of patient material with blast cells (bone marrow or peripheral blood) for central MRD assessment or availability of respective predefined marker.
- Cohort 2: In complete hematological remission (defined as less than 5% blasts in bone marrow and no evidence of extramedullary disease) after at least three chemotherapy cycles (induction I-II, consolidation I)
- Detection of quantifiable MRD at a level of ≥10-4, either as molecular failure without prior achievement of molecular remission or molecular relapse after prior achievement of molecular remission
- MRD assay at the central reference lab with at least one marker a minimum sensitivity of 10-4
- (in patients without clonal molecular MRD marker, MRD testing can be based on flow-cytometry established in reference laboratory)
- ECOG status:
- Cohort 1: 0-2
- +20 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Extramedullary involvement except for non-bulky (\<7.5 cm) lymph node involvement, splenomegaly, or hepatomegaly
- Patients who have received prior antileukemic immunotherapy within 2 weeks prior to start of Isatuximab treatment
- Patients who have received treatment for leukemia with chemotherapy as follows:
- Cohort 1:
- Patients who have received treatment for leukemia with chemotherapy within 2 weeks prior to start of Isatuximab treatment (exception: pre-phase therapy with 5-7 days of Dexamethasone, 3 days of Cyclophosphamide; intrathecal prophylaxis)
- Patients who are candidates for a treatment with Nelarabine
- Cohort 2:
- Patients must have recovered from acute non-hematologic toxicity from previous therapies to ≤ grade I unless signs or symptoms are correlated to leukemia involvement
- Prior SCT ≤ 3 months from start of study treatment
- Acute GvHD ≥ grade II or active chronic GvHD requiring systemic treatment
- Any systemic GvHD prophylaxis or treatment within 2 weeks from start of study treatment
- Known HIV positivity, known hepatitis B surface antigen positivity or known history of hepatitis C
- Unstable or severe uncontrolled medical condition e.g. unstable cardiac function or unstable pulmonary condition
- Treatment with an investigational agent within 4 weeks from start of study treatment (safety follow-up period of respective study)
- Concurrent active malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or localized prostate cancer that has been treated with radiation or surgery; patients with previous malignancies are eligible if they have been disease free for ≥ 2 years and do not require any antitumor therapy.
