The objectives for the ALLIC-BFM 2022 Protocol are directed to improve survival rates, to reduce morbidity and mortality and to answer randomized questions, in order to find new strategies for achieving a more accurate treatment for children with ALL. The aims will be the following:
1. To improve the EFS probability of children with ALL.
2. To achieve a better risk group definition:
2.1. Improving genetic studies at diagnosis.
2.2. Adding MRD determinations on day 33 and day 78 by Flow-Cytometry (FC).
3. To decrease deaths during induction phase rate and deaths in Complete Remission rate.
4. To evaluate the role of intensified treatment element with PEG-asparaginase (Peg-Asp).
5. To evaluate the impact of immunotherapy (anti CD20) for Bcp-ALL patients.

Secondary objectives 5

  1. 1. To improve the EFS probability of children with ALL.
  2. 2. To achieve a better risk group definition: 2.1. Improving genetic studies at diagnosis. 2.2. Adding MRD determinations on day 33 and day 78 by Flow-Cytometry.
  3. 3. To decrease deaths during induction phase rate and deaths in Complete Remission rate.
  4. 4. To evaluate the role of intensified treatment element with PEG-asparaginase.
  5. 5. To evaluate the impact of immunotherapy (anti CD20) for Bcp-ALL patients.

1 EARLY TREATMENT RESPONSE
The early response to therapy is the most important stratification principle in ALLIC-BFM 2022. Early response will be assessed by the measure of MRD on day 15 for Bcp-ALL, independent of Prednisone Response (PR) for this population of patients. However, PR will be considered for T-ALL stratification.
Not Applicable None Not applicable: Not applicable
2 Evidence basis for Peg-Asparaginase randomization
The results of previous ALLIC studies reveal the need to improve survival rates in order to achieve results closer to those of BFM-AIEOP protocols, considering that the backbone is the same. On the other hand, several trials have demonstrated that early intensification is needed for improving outcome. The incorporation of Peg-Asp in first line therapy in phase A of protocol I is a new tool for improving early response and it could be an interesting drug to be included in phase B of protocol I. Several studies have demonstrated the important role of Peg-Asp in improving survival rates and for decreasing relapse rates, even with a higher incidence of adverse reactions, mainly immunological, as well as thrombosis, hyperglycemia and gastrointestinal [14-15]. For this reason, the ALLIC-BFM 2022 plans to include a randomization that will try to disclose if an Extended arm with Peg-Asp during IB phase could improve the quality of CR and achieve a lower MRD on day 78 in patients who receive the experimental arm with additional doses of Peg-Asp.
Randomised Controlled None Not applicable: Not applicable
3 Evidence basis for Rituximab randomization
Inspired by adult studies but never investigated systematically in children with CD20 positive ALL, in this study the role of the inclusion of anti-CD20 antibody in early treatment elements of the therapy will be investigated. This question will be answered through a randomization in patients who present CD20 positivity in MRD on day 15 by FC [16-18].
Randomised Controlled None Rhituximab: Patients eligible for rituximab randomization (all criteria must be fulfilled)
1. Age >1 year at the time of diagnosis.
2. Intermediate and High-risk pB-ALL defined by genetics and/or inadequate
treatment response measured on day 15.
3. Day 15 bone marrow MRD CD20+ positivity: defined MRD level >=0.1% and
with the of CD20 in >=10% of residual blasts in a BM sample with at least
300,000 nucleated cells/events.
Exclusion criteria
• Positive HBV serology (hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen positive and HBc
antibody positive/HBs antibody negative) and TBC documentation.
Standard: participant does not fall within any stratification class.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 6

  1. Age at diagnosis 1- <18 years.
  2. 2. Start of induction therapy within the enrollment period of the trial: from December 1st, 2022 through December 31, 2028.
  3. 3- Diagnosis of ALL ensured by all the diagnostic criteria defined in the protocol.
  4. 4.Informed consent to participate in ALL IC-BFM 2022 trial available.
  5. 5. Admission, diagnosis, and therapy performed by a center participating in the study.
  6. 6. Urine βHCG is negative in female patient with childbearing potential.

Exclusion criteria 3

  1. Positive HBV serology (hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen positive and HBc antibody positive/HBs antibody negative) and TBC documentation.
  2. Pregnant or breastfeeding patient
  3. Known allergy or contraindication (based on SmPC) to both IMPs

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The primary endpoint will be the minimum time from the randomization until the first event: non-response after HR2 consolidation block, relapse, second malignancy or death from any cause (EFS time).

Secondary endpoints 5

  1. Time to death from any cause, measured from the time of randomization (survival time).
  2. End of induction (day 33) and end of early intensification (day 78) MRD status.
  3. Safety of rituximab in combination with intensive chemotherapy: -Death in CR will be compared between the two arms. -The rate of severe infections (CTC grade 3 to 5) during the treatment and until the end of chemotherapy will be compared between the two arms. -The rate of rituximab infusion reactions (total number and by severity of reactions) will be estimated. -The rate of intensive care unit admissions will be compared between the two arms.
  4. -Occurrence of infections on the target list (presumably associated with rituximab) will be compared between the two arms: cytomegalovirus, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and Herpes zoster. -Need for immunoglobulin substitution will be compared between the two arms. IgG level will be measured at day 0 and then by physician discretion, but at least once monthly until the end of intensive chemotherapy and once every 3 months during maintenance chemotherapy until reaching normal level w
  5. Additional Researchs: -To determine the relationship between CD20 expression on ALL blasts (initially, day 15, day 33, day 78) and response to monoclonal antibody therapy. -To determine whether the administration of an anti-B cell monoclonal antibody limits the incidence of peg-asparaginase allergy occurrence.
