Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in ALL


The ALL Hub has previously reported results from the phase II ITCC-059 study (EudraCT:2016-000227-71), outlining the safety and efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) as a single agent in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Here, we summarize results from the phase Ib analyses of the ITCC-059 trial investigating InO combined with chemotherapy, published by Pennesi et al.1 in Haematologica.

Study design1

  • InO (dose 0.81.8 mg/m2) was coupled with intrathecal treatment, 20 mg/m2 of dexamethasone (two 5-day blocks, subsequently modified), and 1.5 mg/m2 of vincristine (Days 3, 10, 17, 24); 29 patients were evaluated for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) between May 2020 and April 2022.

Results1

  • Two out of four patients experienced DLT (liver toxicity) at 1.1 mg/m2/cycle
    • InO dosage was deescalated to 0.8 mg/m2/cycle (n = 6) without DLT while a protocol amendment to lower the dexamethasone dose to 10 mg/m2 was awaited
    • InO was reescalated to 1.1 mg/m2/cycle (n = 6, 1 DLT) following the amendment; this was followed by 1.4 mg/m2/cycle (n = 3, no DLTs), and 1.8 mg/m2/cycle (n = 7, 1 DLT)
  • In total, 24 patients achieved a complete response (overall response rate, 80%), with 22 achieving it after the first cycle with 20 in CR, three in CR with insufficient platelet recovery, and one in complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery
  • In total, 66.7% of respondents met the measurable residual disease negativity threshold
  • In a fractionated regimen, the recommended phase II dose of InO in combination with vincristine, dexamethasone, and intrathecal treatment was established at 1.8 mg/m2/cycle (1.5 mg/m2/cycle after remission)

Safety1

  • Overall, 24 patients had either aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase elevation
    • Alanine aminotransferase increased in 23 patients (50% were ≥Grade 3)
    • Aspartate aminotransferase increased in 22 patients; 10 were Grade 3 (33.3%)
    • Seven patients (23.3%) had a bilirubin increase (20% were Grade 1–2 and 3% were Grade 3)
Key learnings
  • While liver toxicity was present at the initial higher dose of dexamethasone, the combination of InO plus chemotherapy demonstrated a response rate comparable with the single-agent cohorts in this trial
  • The combination of InO at a dose up to 1.8 mg/m2 with vincristine, dexamethasone, and intrathecal treatment is safe and efficacious
