Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Imatinib Mesylate and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Study Description

Brief Summary: This randomized phase III trial studies how well imatinib mesylate works in combination with two different chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Imatinib mesylate has been shown to improve outcomes in children and adolescents with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) ALL when given with strong chemotherapy, but the combination has many side effects. This trial is testing whether a different chemotherapy regimen may work as well as the stronger one but have fewer side effects when given with imatinib. The trial is also testing how well the combination of chemotherapy and imatinib works in another group of patients with a type of ALL that is similar to Ph+ ALL. This type of ALL is called "ABL-class fusion positive ALL", and because it is similar to Ph+ ALL, is thought it will respond well to the combination of agents used to treat Ph+ ALL.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare disease-free survival (DFS) of standard risk (SR) pediatric Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with continuous imatinib mesylate (imatinib) combined with either a high-risk Children's Oncology Group (COG) ALL chemotherapy backbone or the more intensive European (Es)PhALL chemotherapy backbone. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare DFS of SR pediatric Ph+ and ABL-class fusion positive ALL patients treated with continuous imatinib combined with either a high-risk COG-ALL chemotherapy backbone or the more intensive EsPhALL chemotherapy backbone. II. To determine the feasibility of administration of imatinib after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in high risk Ph+ ALL patients. III. To determine event-free survival (EFS) of HR pediatric Ph+ ALL patients treated with EsPhALL chemotherapy, HSCT in first complete remission and post-HSCT imatinib. IV. To compare rates of grade 3 or higher infections in standard risk (SR) Ph+ ALL patients between the two randomized arms. V. To evaluate event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) of all eligible Ph+ALL patients enrolled on the study. VI. To evaluate OS in SR Ph+ ALL patients. VII. To evaluate OS in HR Ph+ ALL patients. VIII. To evaluate EFS and OS of all eligible ABL-class fusion positive ALL patients enrolled on the study. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe the toxicities associated with post-HSCT administration of imatinib in HR Ph+ALL patients. II. To evaluate the long-term toxicities in SR Ph+ ALL patients treated with chemotherapy plus imatinib (no transplant), overall and between both randomized arms. III. To determine prognostic significance of minimal residual disease (MRD) in Ph+ ALL at various time points during therapy. IIIa. To evaluate MRD in HR patients just prior to HSCT and then at regular intervals post-HSCT and explore the association of these measurements with long-term outcome. IIIb. To evaluate concordance of MRD assessments made by IGH-T cell receptor (TCR) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and next generation sequencing (NGS) assays. IV. To determine prognostic significance of IKZF1 gene aberrations and deletions in Ph+ ALL. V. To determine frequency and prognostic significance of p190 and p210 BCR-ABL1 fusion variants in pediatric Ph+ ALL. VI. To measure adherence to oral chemotherapeutic agents (imatinib, 6-mercaptopurine, and methotrexate) during the maintenance phase in SR Ph+ ALL patients. VIa. To identify factors associated with poor adherence. VIb. To determine association between relapse risk and adherence to each oral chemotherapeutic agent (separately and combined). VII. To measure adherence to imatinib after allogeneic HSCT in HR Ph+ ALL patients and identify factors associated with poor adherence. VIII. To compare DFS of SR ABL-class fusion positive ALL patients treated with continuous imatinib combined with either a high-risk COG-ALL chemotherapy backbone or the more intensive EsPhALL chemotherapy backbone.
