Summary

The purpose of Phase 1b of this study is to:

- Asses the safety, tolerability and activity of carfilzomib, alone and in combination
with induction chemotherapy, in children with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic
leukemia (ALL).

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to recommend a phase 2 dose of
carfilzomib in combination with induction chemotherapy.

The purpose of Phase 2 of this study is to compare the rate of complete remission (CR) of
carfilzomib in combination with vincristine, dexamethasone, PEG asparaginase, daunorubicin
(VXLD) at the end of induction therapy to an appropriate external control.

Eligibility

  1. Age 21 years or younger at the time of initial ALL diagnosis and age > 1 year at the time of study treatment initiation.
  2. Subjects must have a diagnosis of relapsed or refractory ALL with = 5% blasts in the bone marrow (M2 or M3 disease), with or without extramedullary disease. -To be eligible, subjects must have had 1 or more prior therapeutic attempts, defined as:
  3. Early first relapse (< 36 months from original diagnosis) after achieving a CR (B-ALL) or first relapse any time following the original diagnosis after achieving a CR (T-ALL)
  4. First refractory bone marrow relapse occurring any time after original diagnosis after achieving a CR (ie, =1 failed attempt to induce a second remission) OR
  5. Relapse after achieving a CR following the first or subsequent relapse (i.e., = 2 relapses) OR
  6. Failing to achieve a CR from original diagnosis after at least 1 induction attempt
  7. Subjects must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy treatment before enrollment.
  8. Subjects must have a serum creatinine level that is = 1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) according to age. If serum creatinine level is > 1.5 × ULN, the subject must have a calculated creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) = 70 mL/min/1.73 m2.
  9. Adequate liver function, defined as both of the following:
  10. Total bilirubin = 1.5 × institutional ULN except in the presence of Gilbert Syndrome
  11. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 5 × institutional ULN
  12. Performance status: Karnofsky or Lansky scores = 50 for subjects > 16 years old or = 16 years old, respectively. Phase 2 Inclusion Criteria:
  13. Subject's legally acceptable representative has provided informed consent when the subject is legally too young to provide informed consent and the subject has provided written assent based on local regulations and/or guidelines prior to any study-specific activities/procedures being initiated, except for standard of care local testing as permitted per protocol.
  14. Age greater than or equal to 1 month to less than 21 years. Subjects greater than or equal to 18 years must have had their original diagnosis at less than 18 years of age.
  15. Subjects must be diagnosed with relapsed or refractory relapsed ALL.
  16. Subjects must have a documented first remission, less than 5% blasts in the bone marrow (M1 bone marrow) and no evidence of extramedullary disease.
  17. T-cell ALL with bone marrow relapse (defined as greater than or equal to 5% leukemia blasts in bone marrow) or refractory relapse with or without extramedullary disease. OR B-cell ALL bone marrow relapse or refractory relapse (defined as greater than or equal to 5% leukemia blasts in bone marrow) after having received a targeted B-cell immune therapy (eg, blinatumomab, inotuzumab or a CAR-T therapy) with or without extramedullary disease..
  18. Adequate liver function: bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than or equal to 5 x ULN.
  19. Adequate renal function: serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) greater than or equal to 70 mL/min/1.73 m^2; or for children less than 2 years of age, greater than or equal to 50 mL/min/1.73 m^2.
  20. Adequate cardiac function: shortening fraction greater than or equal to 30% or ejection fraction greater than or equal to 50%.
  21. Karnofsky (subjects greater than or equal to 16 years of age) or Lansky (subjects 12 months to less than 16 years of age) performance status greater than or equal to 50%.
  22. Subjects must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy treatment before enrollment (for example: recovery from gastrointestinal toxicity may occur more rapidly than less reversible organ toxicities such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome or non-infectious pneumonitis, for serious prior toxicities recommended discussion with Amgen medical monitor).
  23. Life expectancy of greater than 6 weeks per investigator's judgement at time of screening.
**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts... Click here to learn more about clinical trials.
