PK, PD, Safety and Immunogenicity of Spectrila in Adults With Acute B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukaemia
A Clinical Phase II Trial to Describe Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety and Immunogenicity of Spectrila® With the Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient Recombinant L-Asparaginase in Adult Subjects With Newly Diagnosed Acute B-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Reason given: Early termination
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This is a non-controlled, single-arm, open-label clinical trial to describe the PK, PD, immunogenicity and safety of ASNase. All subjects enrolled will receive the IP recombinant ASNase (Spectrila®). Since Spectrila is already approved in the European Economic Area for first-line treatment of ALL patients of all age groups and showed similar efficacy and safety in comparison to Asparaginase medac no blinding or control groups are necessary. As underlying treatment protocol the BRALL 2014 treatment protocol will be used.

Other
- Pre-existing known coagulopathy
- Pregnancy as verified by a positive pregnancy test or nursing woman
- Evidence or suspicion that the subject might not comply with the requirements of the trial protocol.
- Evidence or suspicion that the subject is unwilling or unable to understand the information given to him/her within the informed consent procedure

- The subject is an employee or direct relative of an employee of the contract research organisation (CRO) involved in the trial, the trial site or medac.
- The subject is imprisoned or is lawfully kept in an institution.
Who the study is looking for
- Subjects with newly diagnosed pathologically confirmed acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukaemia
- Female or male subjects between 18 and 55 years of age (inclusive)
- Subjects eligible for treatment and treated according to the underlying treatment protocol BRALL 2014
- Written informed consent given freely after the nature of the trial and disclosure of data has been explained to the subject
- The subject shows no evidence of a current infection with SARS-CoV-2 (as diagnosed by thorax tomography or PCR test or test for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies).
- The subject expresses his/her understanding of the trial procedures and willingness to abide by them during the course of the trial
- Female subjects of child-bearing potential must use a highly effective method of contraception (pearl index less than 1%) such as complete sexual abstinence, combined oral contraceptive, vaginal hormone ring, transdermal contraceptive patch, contraceptive implant or depot contraceptive injection in combination with a second method of contraception like a condom or a cervical cap/diaphragm with spermicide during the trial and for at least 7 months after Spectrila discontinuation.
- Men should use effective contraceptive measures and be advised to not father a child while receiving ASNase. As a precautionary measure it is recommended to wait at least for 4 months after completion of treatment.
