A Phase II Randomized Study of Blinatumomab With or Without Revumenib for Patients With KMT2A-Translocation B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)/ Acute Leukemia With Ambiguous Lineage (ALAL) With Persistent Measurable Residual Disease (MRD)
A Phase II Randomized Study of Blinatumomab With or Without Revumenib for Patients With KMT2A-Translocation B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)/ Acute Leukemia With Ambiguous Lineage (ALAL) With Persistent Measurable Residual Disease (MRD)
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.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Among participants enrolled to the safety run-in cohort, to evaluate the safety of blinatumomab with revumenib in this participant population. (Cohort A: Children [≥ 1 year] and adults with CD19-positive [CD19+] KMT2Ar B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL]/ acute leukemia with ambiguous lineage [ALAL] in morphological first complete remission [CR1]) II. First primary randomized objective: Among participants with positive measurable residual disease (MRD) by clonoSEQ before randomization, to compare the rates of MRD negative complete remission (CR) by clonoSEQ after the completion of one cycle of blinatumomab versus one cycle of blinatumomab plus revumenib. (Cohort A: Children [≥ 1 year] and adults with CD19-positive [CD19+] KMT2Ar B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL]/ acute leukemia with ambiguous lineage [ALAL] in morphological first complete remission [CR1]) III. Secondary primary randomized objective (hierarchical tested): Among participants with positive MRD by clonoSEQ before randomization, if rates of MRD negative CR by clonoSEQ after completion of one cycle of therapy are improved with blinatumomab plus revumenib versus blinatumomab, to evaluate whether MRD-event-free survival is improved among patients randomized to blinatumomab plus revumenib versus blinatumomab. (Cohort A: Children [≥ 1 year] and adults with CD19-positive [CD19+] KMT2Ar B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL]/ acute leukemia with ambiguous lineage [ALAL] in morphological first complete remission [CR1]) IV. To describe and evaluate the feasibility of revumenib in combination with reduced intensity multiagent chemotherapy in this participant population. (Cohort B: Untreated newly diagnosed KMT2Ar B/T-ALL or ALAL in older adults [age ≥ 55 years])
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

II. In Cohort A: Among participants with positive MRD by clonoSEQ before randomization, to estimate the rate of MRD negative CR by clonoSEQ after two cycles of blinatumomab or blinatumomab plus revumenib.
III. In Cohort A: Among participants with negative MRD by clonoSEQ before randomization, to estimate 6-month event-free survival and MRD-event-free survival in each arm.
IV. In Cohort A: Among participants with negative MRD by clonoSEQ before randomization, to estimate 6-month event-free survival in each arm.
V. In Cohort B: To estimate the post induction composite morphological CR (CR/CR with incomplete count recovery [CRi]) rate.
VI. To estimate proportion of participants MRD negative by multi-color flow cytometry after induction (Cohort B) and cycle 1 of blinatumomab (Cohorts A + B, including the safety cohort of Cohort A).
VII. Within each arm and cohort cohort (including the safety cohort of Cohort A): To estimate the rates of lineage switch and/or CD19-negative (CD19-) relapse.
VIII. 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.
