Brief summary

This phase II trial tests how well adding revumenib to usual treatment (blinatumomab) compared to usual treatment alone works in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) or acute leukemia with ambiguous lineage (ALAL) with KMT2A-translocation. Revumenib binds to a protein called menin and keeps it from binding to another protein called KMT2A. This stops or slows the growth of leukemia cells with changes in the KMT2A gene. Blinatumomab binds to CD19, which is found on most B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of leukemia cells. It also binds to a protein called CD3, which is found on T cells (another type of white blood cell). This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. In addition to blinatumomab, usual treatment also includes dexamethasone, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, calaspargase pegol, doxorubicin, thioguanine, daunorubicin, vincristine and leucovorin. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Methotrexate is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It is also a type of antifolate. Methotrexate stops cells from using folic acid to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cytarabine, mercaptopurine, calaspargase pegol, doxorubicin, thioguanine, and daunorubicin, 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. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Leucovorin is also being studied in the treatment of cancer. It is a type of chemoprotective agent and a type of chemosensitizing agent. Adding revumenib to usual treatment with blinatumomab may be safe, tolerable and more effective than blinatumomab alone in lowering the amount of leukemia in patients with B-ALL or ALAL with the KMT2A translocation.

Detailed description

Within each arm and cohort cohort (including the safety cohort of Cohort A): To estimate the rate of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in CR1. IX. Within each arm and cohort cohort (including the safety cohort of Cohort A): To estimate event-free survival (EFS), MRD-EFS, relapse-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and MRD-PFS within each arm and cohort (including the safety cohort of Cohort A) and by age ≥ 1 year to \< 18 years versus ≥ 18 years of age. X. Within each arm and cohort cohort (including the safety cohort of Cohort A): To estimate time to MRD relapse by flow cytometry and/or clonoSEQ. XI. Within each arm and cohort cohort (including the safety cohort of Cohort A): To estimate overall survival (OS). TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the frequency of MEN1 mutations by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and/or high sensitivity next generation sequencing (NGS) pre-induction (Cohort B), pre-randomization (Cohort A), after blinatumomab treatment (Cohorts A and B) and at the time of relapse (Cohorts A and B). (Primary) II. To estimate the rate of KMT2A fusion reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR MRD negativity after the first and second cycle of blinatumomab therapy within treatment arms in Cohort A. (Secondary) III. To estimate the rate of KMT2A fusion RT-PCR MRD negativity after chemotherapy induction and blinatumomab post-induction therapy in Cohort B. (Secondary) V. To estimate the rate of immunoglobulin (IG)/T cell receptor (TR) variable (V) (diversity \[D\]) joining (J) next generation (NGS) MRD negative remission after first and second cycle of blinatumomab across treatment cohorts in Cohort A (among those with diagnosis specimens available) and after induction and blinatumomab (if administered) in Cohort B. (Secondary) V. To descriptively report changes in gene expression between diagnosis (in Cohort B, and as available in Cohort A) and relapse samples by ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing of registration and relapse samples.

With participant consent, specimens must be collected and submitted via the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) Specimen Tracking System * NOTE: As a part of the Oncology Patient Enrollment Network (OPEN) registration process the treating institution's identity is provided in order to ensure that the current (within 365 days) date of institutional review board approval for this study has been entered in the system * Participants must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines * For participants with impaired decision-making capabilities, legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants in accordance with applicable federal, local, and Central Institutional Review Board (CIRB) regulations * This trial will use a slot reservation system to enroll the feasibility and safety run-in portions of the study for Cohort A and Cohort B. Patients planning to enroll at this portion of the study must first have a slot reserved in advance of the registration. All site staff will use OPEN to create a slot reservation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dose limiting toxicities (Safety run-in: Cohort A)During cycle 1 (cycle 1 length = 28 days)Will be evaluated using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 6.0. Will evaluate the proportion of participants with dose limiting toxicities and exact confidence intervals.
Measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity rate (Cohort A)Up to 35 days after start of therapyDifference in proportion of participants who achieve clonoSEQ MRD status between the two arms will be compared using a two-sample proportion test.
MRD-event-free survival (EFS) (Cohort A)From date of randomization and up to 10 yearsWill be compared using unstratified log-rank test.
Incidence of toxicities of interest (TOI) (Cohort B)Up to 30 days after last dose of study treatmentTOI rates will be reported with exact 90% confidence intervals.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of adverse eventsUp to 30 days after last dose of study treatmentFrequency and severity within each arm and across cycles of therapy will be assessed using NCI CTCAE v 6.0.
MRD negative complete remission (CR) rate (Cohort A)Up to 70 days after start of therapyWill be evaluated in participants with positive MRD before randomization.
EFS (Cohort A)At 6 monthsWill be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Will be evaluated in participants with negative MRD before randomization.
MRD-EFS (Cohort A)At 6 monthsWill be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Will be evaluated in participants with negative MRD before randomization.
Composite morphological CR rate (Cohort B)Up to 35 days after start of therapyWill be defined as CR/CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi).
Proportion of participants MRD negative (Cohorts A and B)Up to 35 days after start of therapyWill be evaluated using multi-color flow cytometry.
Rate of lineage switch and/or CD19-negative relapse (within each arm and cohort cohort)Up to 10 years
Rate of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation utilization (within each arm and cohort cohort)Up to 10 years
EFS (within each arm and cohort cohort)From the date of trial registration/randomization until the first of death from any cause, relapse from remission, secondary malignancy, or completion of protocol therapy, assessed up to 10 yearsWill be reported within each arm and cohort and by age. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
MRD-EFS (within each arm and cohort cohort)From the date of trial registration/randomization until the first of death from any cause, relapse from remission, secondary malignancy, or completion of protocol therapy, assessed up to 10 yearsWill be reported within each arm and cohort and by age. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Relapse-free survival (within each arm and cohort cohort)From date of trial registration until relapse from CR/CRi or death from any cause, assessed up to 10 yearsWill be reported within each arm and cohort and by age. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Progression-free survival (PFS) (within each arm and cohort cohort)From the date of trial registration/randomization until the first of progression, death from any cause, relapse from morphologic remission, secondary malignancy, or completion of protocol therapy, assessed up to 10 yearsWill be reported within each arm and cohort and by age. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
MRD-PFS (within each arm and cohort cohort)From the date of trial registration/randomization until the first of progression, death from any cause, relapse from morphologic remission, secondary malignancy, or completion of protocol therapy, assessed up to 10 yearsWill be reported within each arm and cohort and by age. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Time to MRD relapse (within each arm and cohort cohort)Up to 10 yearsWill be assessed using flow cytometry and/or clonoSEQ.
Overall survival (within each arm and cohort cohort)From day of trial registration until death from any cause, assessed up to 10 yearsWill be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Remission rateUp to 10 yearsWill be defined as CR/CRi/CR with partial hematological recovery) with and without MRD by flow. Will be estimated with 95% binomial confidence intervals.
