What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase II trial studies how well OBI-3424 works in treating patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not response to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as OBI-3424, 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. OBI-3424 may reduce the amount of leukemia in the body.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot have had chemotherapy or investigational agents within 14 days before joining, except for certain drugs like steroids and some oral medications. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

What makes the drug OBI-3424 unique for treating T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?

OBI-3424 is unique because it is a prodrug (a medication that is converted into an active form in the body) designed to target cancer cells with high levels of a specific enzyme, potentially offering a more targeted approach compared to traditional chemotherapy.12345

Published Research Related to This Trial

A pediatric patient with a rare atypical BCR/ABL1 e8a2 fusion transcript achieved complete remission from Ph+ B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia after 33 days of treatment, highlighting the potential for effective outcomes even with uncommon genetic variants.
The study emphasizes the importance of genetic evaluation in diagnosing acute lymphoblastic leukemia, using methods like fluorescent in situ hybridization and PCR to detect rare BCR/ABL1 transcripts, which can guide treatment decisions.

In a study of 325 patients aged 21 and younger with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) who experienced induction failure, the 10-year overall survival rate improved to 54.7% with contemporary therapies, compared to just 27.6% in historical cohorts from 1985 to 2000.
Among patients who achieved complete remission after induction, those who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) had significantly better disease-free survival rates (63.8%) compared to those who did not receive a transplant (45.5%), highlighting the potential benefit of HSCT in improving outcomes.

In a study of 89 patients with BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) like dasatinib showed significantly better overall survival (64.0% vs. 34.9%) and relapse-free survival (55.0% vs. 17.2%) compared to first-generation TKIs like imatinib.
Both first-generation and second-generation TKIs had similar rates of complete remission and complete molecular remission, but achieving complete molecular remission was identified as a key favorable prognostic factor for overall survival and relapse-free survival.
