About this trial
This phase I/II trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of OBI-3424 and how well it works in treating patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, 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.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients must have a diagnosis of relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) based on World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Patients with relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma are eligible if lymphoblasts are >= 5% in the bone marrow or in the peripheral blood by morphology or flow cytometry
Patients must have evidence of acute leukemia in their peripheral blood or bone marrow. Patients must have >= 5% lymphoblasts in the peripheral blood or bone marrow within 14 days prior to registration. Patients with only extramedullary disease are not eligible
Patients ≥ 18 years of age must be refractory to or have relapsed following a standard induction chemotherapy. Patients < 18 years of age must have relapsed or must be refractory after 2 or more chemotherapy cycles (example: induction and consolidation)
Vincristine and corticosteroids plus at least one more chemotherapy agent

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (Phase I)
The regimen will be considered safe and the MTD determined if the dose-limiting toxicity rate is \< 33%.
Response rate (complete remission [CR] or CR with incomplete count recovery [CRi]) (Phase II)
Secondary outcomes
Incidence of adverse events
Toxicities will be captured and described. The probability of any particular toxicity can be estimated to within at most +/- 17% (95% confidence interval).
Overall survival
Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Event-free survival
Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Relapse-free survival
Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Other outcomes
Minimal residual disease (MRD) rate
The MRD rate for responders will be reported as a point estimate with an exact binomial confidence interval.
AKR1C3 expression
A post-hoc analysis of AKR1C3 expression is planned.
Association between AKR1C3 and MRD-negative remission (CR or CRi) status
Will analyze all patients treated at the MTD.
