Testing the Combination of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Lower Dose Chemotherapy Compared to Usual Chemotherapy for Adults With B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or B-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma
Purpose
This phase II trial compares the combination of inotuzumab ozogamicin and chemotherapy to the usual chemotherapy in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a drug, called CalichDMH. Inotuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD22 receptors, and delivers CalichDMH to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs 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. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin with chemotherapy may help shrink the cancer and stop it from returning.

Inclusion Criteria
- PRE-REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (STEP 0) - Research bone marrow or peripheral blood submission * This bone marrow or peripheral blood submission is mandatory prior to registration/randomization as baseline for real-time MRD analysis. The bone marrow sample should be from the first aspiration (i.e., first pull). Aspirate needle should be redirected if needed to get first pull bone marrow aspirate. It should be obtained as soon after pre-registration as possible - REGISTRATION INCLUSION CRITERIA (STEP 1) - Diagnosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) per World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 criteria.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare undetectable measurable residual disease (MRD) event-free survival (EFS) rate of the experimental arm (A) to standard arm (B) with EFS defined as time from randomization to occurrence of an event. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine overall response rate (complete response [CR], CR + complete remission with incomplete platelet counts [CRp], CR + complete remission with partial hematologic recovery [CRh], CR + complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery [CRi]) at designated time points (after cycle 1, after cycle 2, end of intensive phase) in each treatment arm. II. To determine rate of flow cytometry MRD-negativity (undetectable or detectable < 10^-4) at designated time points (after cycle 1, after cycle 2, end of intensive phase) in each treatment arm. III. To compare MRD response by central aspirate multiparameter flow cytometry (Wood lab) to next generation sequencing MRD assessment (clonoSEQ, Adaptive) of blood and bone marrow at designated time points (after cycle 1, after cycle 2, and end of intensive phase) and to determine association with outcome, in each treatment arm. IV. To determine the event-free survival (EFS) standard-definition (event defined as failure to achieve morphologic remission by cycle 2, hematologic relapse, death), disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) of each arm (median, 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year) in each treatment arm. V. To determine proportion of patients who proceed to allogeneic transplant after initial response (without intervening salvage therapy) in each treatment arm. VI. To determine rate of liver toxicity (grade 3-5 alanine aminotransferase [ALT] increase, aspartate aminotransferase [AST] increase, bilirubin increase, alkaline phosphatase increase). VII. To describe the safety and tolerability of each arm including rate of grade 3-5 non-hematologic toxicity and treatment-related mortality (grade 5 toxicity VIII. To determine rate of delays in intensive-phase chemotherapy due to neutropenia and thrombocytopenia (in responding patients). IX. To assess the baseline variations in comorbidity burden, physical, nutritional, and cognitive function of the study participants, and explore the association between comorbidity burden, physical, nutritional, and cognitive function, and the outcomes of therapy (grade 3-5 non-hematological toxicities, and OS). X. To explore the longitudinal changes in physical, nutritional, and cognitive function among the experimental and control groups. XI. To compare the burden of patient-reported symptomatic adverse events between treatment arms using the Patient Reported Outcomes - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE). XII. To correlate specific karyotype groups (normal or various primary and secondary chromosomal abnormalities) with clinical and laboratory parameters. XIII. To correlate specific karyotype groups with response rates, response duration, MRD, and survival in patients treated on this study. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
