Trial Design

7Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group 3, Arm F (dexamethasone, blinatumomab, nivolumab)Experimental Treatment14 Interventions
See Outline section
Group II: Group 3, Arm E (dexamethasone, blinatumomab, MTX)Experimental Treatment13 Interventions
See Outline section
Group III: Group 2, Arm D (dexamethasone, nivolumab, blinatumomab, MTX)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive dexamethasone, blinatumomab, and MTX as in Arm C. Patients also receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on days 11 and 25 of cycle 1 and days 1 and 15 of cycle 2. Treatment repeats every 36 days for 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: Patients with MRD < 0.01% after cycle 1 may stop study treatment or may choose to continue to cycle 2. Patients with MRD >= 0.01% after cycle 1 proceed to cycle 2.
Group IV: Group 2, Arm C (dexamethasone, blinatumomab, MTX)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive dexamethasone PO or IV on day 1 of cycle 1, blinatumomab via continuous IV infusion on days 1-28 of cycles 1 and 2, and methotrexate IT on days 1 and 15 of cycles 1 and 2 (day 1 may be omitted from cycle 1 if intrathecal therapy is given < 7 days prior to the start of this cycle). Treatment repeats every 36 days for 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: Patients with MRD < 0.01% after cycle 1 may stop study treatment or may choose to continue to cycle 2. Patients with MRD >= 0.01% after cycle 1 proceed to cycle 2.
Group V: Group 1, Arm B (dexamethasone, blinatumomab, MTX)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive dexamethasone, blinatumomab, and MTX, cytarabine, or ITT as in Arm A. Patients also receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on days 11 and 25 of cycle 1 and days 1 and 15 of cycle 2. Treatment repeats every 36 days for 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: Patients with MRD < 0.01% after cycle 1 may stop study treatment or may choose to continue to cycle 2. Patients with MRD >= 0.01% after cycle 1 proceed to cycle 2.
Group VI: Group 1, Arm A (dexamethasone, blinatumomab, MTX)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
ARM A: Patients receive dexamethasone PO or IV on days 1 and 8 of cycle 1, blinatumomab via continuous IV infusion on days 1-28 of cycles 1-2, MTX IT, cytarabine IT, or ITT IT on days 1, 15, and 36 of cycle 1 (MTX, cytarabine, and ITT on day 1 may be omitted if intrathecal therapy was given < 7 days prior to the start of this cycle), and MTX IT, cytarabine IT, or ITT IT on days 15 and 36 of cycle 2. Treatment repeats every 36 days for 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: Patients with MRD < 0.01% after cycle 1 may stop study treatment or may choose to continue to cycle 2. Patients with MRD >= 0.01% after cycle 1 proceed to cycle 2.
Group VII: Arm G (dexamethasone, blinatumomab, nivolumab,MTX) DS patientsExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patients receive dexamethasone PO or IV on days 1 and 8 of cycle 1 only, blinatumomab IV via continuous infusion on days 1-28, nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on days 11 and 25 of cycle 1 and days 1 and 15 of cycle 2, and MTX IT, cytarabine IT, or ITT IT on days 1,15, and 36 of cycle 1 (MTX, cytarabine, and ITT on day 1 may be omitted if intrathecal therapy was given < 7 days prior to the start this cycle 1), MTX IT, cytarabine IT, or ITT IT on days 15 and 36 of cycle 2, and leucovorin calcium IV or PO q6h for 2 doses on days 2, 16 and 37 of cycle 1 and q6h for 2 doses on days 16 and 37 of cycle 2.
