Inotuzumab Ozogamicin in Treating Younger Patients With B-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma or Relapsed or Refractory CD22 Positive B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (NCT02981628)

A Phase 2 Study of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (NSC# 772518) in Children and Young Adults With Relapsed or Refractory CD22+ B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Children's Oncology Group

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin works in treating younger patients with B-lymphoblastic lymphoma or CD22 positive B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called ozogamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to CD22 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers ozogamicin to kill them.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (37 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (27 items).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Patients with any prior history of SOS irrespective of severity
  • Patients with isolated central nervous system (CNS), testicular, or any other extramedullary site of relapse
  • Patients who have been previously treated with inotuzumab ozogamicin
  • Patients who have previously received HSCT (Cohort 2 only)
  • Patients with Down syndrome (Cohort 2 only)
  • History of allergic reaction attributed to compounds of similar or biologic composition to inotuzumab ozogamicin or other agents in the study
  • Note: Patients with history of allergy to pegaspargase/calaspargase pegol are eligible for enrollment on Cohort 2 if Erwinia formulation of asparaginase can be obtained
  • Patients with active optic nerve and/or retinal involvement are not eligible; patients who are presenting with visual disturbances should have an ophthalmologic exam and, if indicated, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess optic nerve or retinal involvement
  • Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug
  • Patients who are currently receiving or plan to receive other anti-cancer agents (except hydroxyurea, which may be continued until 24 hours prior to start of protocol therapy, and intrathecal chemotherapy)
  • Anti-GVHD or agents to prevent organ rejection post-transplant; patients who are receiving cyclosporine, tacrolimus, or other agents to prevent either graft-versus-host disease post bone marrow transplant or organ rejection post-transplant are not eligible for this trial; at least 3 half-lives must have elapsed after the last dose of GVHD or anti-rejection medications
