COG AALL1731 - A Phase 3 Trial Investigating Blinatumomab (IND# 117467, NSC# 765986) in Combination with Chemotherapy in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Standard Risk or Down syndrome B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) and the Treatment of Patients with Localized B-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (B-LLy)
This phase III trial studies how well blinatumomab works in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients (365 Days to 31 Years) with newly diagnosed, standard risk B-lymphoblastic leukemia or B-lymphoblastic lymphoma with or without Down syndrome. Monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, dexamethasone, prednisone, prednisolone, pegaspargase, methotrexate, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and thioguanine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Leucovorin decreases the toxic effects of methotrexate. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. Giving blinatumomab and combination chemotherapy may work better then combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with B-ALL. This trial also assigns patients into different chemotherapy treatment regimens based on risk (the chance of cancer returning after treatment). Treating patients with chemotherapy based on risk may help doctors decide which patients can best benefit from which chemotherapy treatment regimens.
• Age: patients must be > 365 days and < 10 years of age (B-ALL patients without Down Syndrome-DS) OR no more than 31 years of age (B-ALL patients with DS) OR no more than 31 years of age (B-LLy patients with or without DS)
• Diagnosis: Patient has newly diagnosed B-cell ALL, with or without Down syndrome: > 25% blasts on a BM aspirate; OR if a BM aspirate is not obtained or is not diagnostic of B-ALL, the diagnosis can be established by a pathologic diagnosis of B-ALL on a BM biopsy OR a complete blood count (CBC) documenting the presence of at least 1,000 circulating leukemic cells;
• OR Patient has newly diagnosed B-cell LLy Murphy Stages I or II, with or without Down syndrome
• White Blood Cell Count (WBC) Criteria: B-ALL patients without DS must have an initial white blood cell count < 50,000

MT2021-08: Phase II, Open-Label, Prospective Study of T Cell Receptor Alpha/Beta Depletion (A/B TCD) Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) Transplantation for Children and Adults with Hematological Malignancies
The research aspect of this trial is the use of a new machine to remove specific lymphocytes from the donor’s peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs). This is called T cell receptor alpha/beta T cell depletion. This machine does such a good job at removing the unwanted donor T cells, and as a result we think patients will need fewer drugs to suppress their immune system.

MT2023-23: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Multi-Center Study of Innate Cell Engager AFM13 in Combination with Allogeneic Natural Killer Cells (AB-101) in Subjects with Recurrent or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma and CD30-Positive Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (LuminICE-203)
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effectiveness and safety of a new study drug called AFM13 when used in combination with a new cell therapy called AB-101. AFM13 is an antibody designed to bind to cancer cells and to “natural killer” cells. AB-101 refers to natural killer cells that were obtained from human umbilical cord blood. Natural killer cells are part of your immune system and their primary function is fighting infections and cancer. AFM13 binds the natural killer cells and links them with the cancer cells, so they can eliminate the cancer cells.

Stem cell transplants (sometimes referred to as a bone marrow transplants) have been done for over 40 years but research continues to further refine the method to reduce side effects without affecting transplant success. The purpose of this study is to improve on transplant outcomes while reducing the potential side effects based on what has been learned from previous transplant studies using a reduced intensity preparative regimen.

MT-2018-20: COG AALL1631 - International Phase 3 Trial in Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ALL) Testing Imatinib in Combination With Two Different Cytotoxic Chemotherapy Backbones
This randomized phase III trial studies how well imatinib mesylate and combination chemotherapy work in treating patients (> 1 year and < 21 years) with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving imatinib mesylate and combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
