Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the part I dose escalation part will be to determine feasibility, safety, and tolerability of Venetoclax in combination with Blinatumomab. The primary objective of the part II expansion part will be to evaluate the response in patients treated with the combination of Venetoclax and Blinatumomab.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate additional efficacy and safety of Venetoclax in combination with Blinatumomab and to improve quality of life of patients treated with Venetoclax/Blinatumomab combination. The exploratory objectives of this trial are: - Explore biological features predicting mol-CR - Describe venetoclax-induced changes in gene and protein expression of leukemic blasts isolated from patients - Compare baseline protein expression of leukemic blasts among patients and correlate to response - Determine the effects of the combination treatment of venetoclax and blinatumomab on the composition of human T-lymphocytes.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of the part I dose escalation part will be maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The primary efficacy measure of the part II expansion part will be the rate of complete molecular remissions (Mol-CR) after one cycle of Blinatumomab and Venetoclax. -Mol-CR is defined as MRD negativity with a sensitivity of at least 10E-04 Disease status will be assessed by bone marrow and peripheral blood analysis at the end of Cycle 1. Bone marrow aspiration is required at any time on study in case peripheral blood analysis is suspicious for progression of disease.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - maximum tolerated dose (MTD) after day -7 until day -1 in phase I-patients - rate of complete molecular remissions (Mol-CR) after each cycle of treatment (4 weeks of treatment) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - rate of composite complete remissions (cCR) including CR without complete hematologic regeneration (CRh) and CR with incomplete recovery of peripheral blood counts (CRi) after one treatment cycle o CR is defined as having = 5% blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and full recovery of peripheral blood counts (i.e. platelets = 100.000/µl, and ANC = 1.000/µl), and no evidence of (extramedullary) disease o CRh is defined as having = 5% blasts in the bone marrow, no evidence of disease, and partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (i.e. 50.000/µl 50.000/µl, and ANC > 500/µl) - To compare CR rates with historical cohorts treated with Blinatumomab alone with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using the propensity score - Early mortality during induction therapy - Duration of MRD response and complete MRD response - Rate of allogeneic stem cell transplantation - Relapse localisation - Quality of life of patients - Safety and tolerability of induction and consolidation therapy - Treatment realisation (interruptions, dose reductions, treatment discontinuation);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at the end of each treatment cycles and until end of follow-up-period | — |
