Background: Consolidation with blina, regardless of measurable residual disease (MRD) status, improves overall survival (OS) in adults with newly diagnosed B-cell ALL. The addition of INO may deepen responses and further improve outcomes. Methods: Patients (pts) 14-59 years of age with newly diagnosed Ph-negative pre-B-cell ALL, including pts who had received no more than 1 prior cycle of chemotherapy, were eligible. Pts received hyper-CVAD alternating with high-dose MTX/Ara-C for up to 4 cycles, followed by 4 cycles of Blina at standard doses. Pts with CD20+ disease received 8 doses of an anti-CD20 antibody. Eight doses of prophylactic IT chemotherapy were given. Maintenance was with alternating blocks of POMP (maintenance cycles 1-3, 5-7, 9-11, and 13-15) and Blina (maintenance cycles 4, 8, and 12). Beginning with pt #39, INO at a dose of 0.3 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8 was added to the 2 cycles of MTX/Ara-C and to 2 cycles of Blina consolidation (4 total cycles with INO). Results: To date, 69 pts have been treated (38 without INO and 31 with INO). Baseline characteristics are summarized in the table. Among 53 pts with active disease at study entry, 100% achieved CR. MRD negativity by flow was achieved in 56/59 evaluable pts (95%). Of the 3 pts who did not achieve MRD negativity, 2 were later found to have a NUP214:ABL1 fusion, and 1 had KMT2A rearrangement. The median follow-up of the entire cohort is 26 months. Overall, 8 pts (12%) relapsed while on study, 22 (32%) underwent stem cell transplant (SCT) in first remission (2 of whom relapsed post-SCT), 2 (3%) died in CR, and 37 (54%) remain in continuous remission without SCT. For the entire cohort, the estimated 3-year OS was 87% and the 3-year continuous remission duration was 83%. With a median follow-up in the INO cohort of 15 months, 3 pts (10%) have relapsed, all with CNS-only relapses, and none has died. The 15-month OS in the cohorts with and without INO were 100% and 87%, respectively (P=0.06). One pt discontinued Blina due to recurrent grade 2 neurotoxicity. No pts have discontinued INO due to toxicity and no cases of SOS/VOD have been observed. Conclusions: In pts with newly diagnosed Ph-negative B-cell ALL receiving hyper-CVAD with sequential Blina, OS may be improved with the addition of INO. Clinical trial information: NCT02877303.
