Resumen

This study is about an anticancer drug called ponatinib which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor given with chemotherapy to children, teenagers, and young adults up to 21 years of age with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia who have relapsed or are resistant to other treatment. The main aims of this study are to confirm the highest dose of ponatinib tablets and minitablet capsules that can be given to participants with acceptable side effects, and to evaluate if participant's leukemia achieves remission. Participants will take ponatinib tablets with chemotherapy. For participants who cannot swallow tablets or who are receiving less than a 10 milligrams (mg) dose, a capsule with small ponatinib minitablets inside will be provided. Participants will take ponatinib for 10 weeks in combination with chemotherapy (reinduction and consolidation blocks) and will be followed up for at least 3 years.

Descripción detallada

The drug being tested in this study is called ponatinib. Ponatinib is being tested to treat pediatric population who have Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Ph+ mixed phenotype acute leukemia (Ph+ MPAL), or Philadelphia chromosome-like ALL who have relapsed or are resistant or intolerant to a prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-containing therapy, or who have the T315I mutation. The study will enroll approximately 68 participants. Participants will be assigned to a treatment group either in phase 1 or phase 2. Participants unable to swallow the ponatinib tablets or who are receiving less than a 10 mg dose will receive the age-appropriate formulation, capsule with ponatinib minitablets inside: • Ponatinib + Chemotherapy All participants will be asked to take ponatinib once daily. In phase 1 ponatinib will be administered in combination with a chemotherapy backbone to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ponatinib. In both phase 1 and phase 2, treatment consists of two 35-day blocks of therapy (reinduction block and consolidation block). Each block will include 29 days of treatment of daily ponatinib and a chemotherapy backbone regimen followed by a rest period from chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 days consisting of daily ponatinib only. This is a multi-center trial and will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 6.5 years. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and may be contacted by telephone in at least 36 months of follow-up after treatment.

Participants who relapsed while receiving cytotoxic therapy: At least 14 days must have passed since the completion of the last dose of chemotherapy before the first dose of ponatinib can be given except for the following: intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy and/or maintenance therapy such as vincristine, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, or glucocorticoids. There is no waiting period for those relapsing on maintenance-like therapy.
HSCT: Participants who have experienced relapse after a HSCT are eligible, provided they have no evidence of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), are not receiving GVHD prophylaxis or treatment, and are at least 90 days posttransplant at the time of enrollment.
