Testing the Addition of the Anti-cancer Drug Venetoclax and/or the Anti-cancer Immunotherapy Blinatumomab to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment for Infants With Newly Diagnosed KMT2A-rearranged or KMT2A-non-rearranged Leukemia

Korábbi kezelés

• Patients must not have received any cytotoxic chemotherapy for either the current diagnosis of infant ALL or for any cancer diagnosis prior to the initiation of protocol therapy, with the exception of:
  • Steroid pretreatment:
  • PredniSONE, prednisoLONE, or methylPREDNISolone for ≤ 72 hours (3 days) in the 7 days prior to enrollment. The dose of predniSONE, prednisoLONE or methylPREDNISolone does not affect eligibility
  • Inhaled and topical steroids are not considered pretreatment
  • Note: Pretreatment with dexamethasone in the 28 days prior to initiation of protocol therapy is not allowed with the exception of a single dose of dexamethasone used during or within 6 hours prior to or after sedation to prevent or treat airway edema. However, prior exposure to ANY steroids that occurred > 28 days before enrollment does not affect eligibility
  • Intrathecal cytarabine or methotrexate:
  • An intrathecal dose of cytarabine or methotrexate in the 7 days prior to enrollment does not affect eligibility
  • Note: The preference is to defer the diagnostic lumbar puncture with intrathecal chemotherapy to day 1 of induction to allow for cytoreduction of circulating blasts and decrease the potential for central nervous system (CNS) contamination due to a traumatic tap. If done prior to day 1 of induction, these results will be used to determine CNS status
  • Hydroxyurea:
  • Pretreatment with ≤ 72 hours (3 days) of hydroxyurea in the 7 days prior to enrollment does not affect eligibility

• Patients with secondary B-ALL that developed after treatment of a prior malignancy with cytotoxic chemotherapy
