Efficacy and safety of currently approved and lower starting doses of inotuzumab ozogamicin in adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a phase IV study

Inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) is approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL). Previous studies reported higher rates of post– hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) in patients receiving InO versus chemotherapy...

description Inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) is approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL). Previous studies reported higher rates of post– hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) in patients receiving InO versus chemotherapy prior to HSCT. It is unknown if a lower InO dose would reduce risk of post-HSCT SOS or if it would impact efficacy. This study evaluated efficacy and safety of the currently approved InO starting dose and a lower dose in adults with R/R ALL who were eligible for HSCT and were identified as being at higher risk of post- HSCT SOS. This open-label, phase 4 study (NCT03677596) had 2 phases: in the run-in phase patients received InO at 1.2 mg/m2/cycle (n=22); in the randomized phase patients received InO starting at dose levels of 1.8 mg/m2/cycle (n=38) or 1.2 mg/m2/cycle (n=42). Primary endpoints were rate of SOS and rate of hematologic remission. Overall, SOS was reported in 10 patients (9.8%); all were post-HSCT SOS. In patients who proceeded to HSCT, post-HSCT SOS rates were 20%, 28.6%, 25.8%, and 16.7% in 1.2 mg/m2/cycle (run-in), 1.2 mg/m2/cycle (randomized), 1.2 mg/m2/cycle (run-in and randomized), and 1.8 mg/m2/cycle (randomized), respectively. The CR/CRi rates were 50.0%, 83.3%, 71.9%, and 68.4% in the respective subgroups. The study found that a starting dose of 1.2mg/m2/cycle demonstrated consistent efficacy and safety to the recommended 1.8 mg/m2/cycle dose in adults with R/R ALL who were eligible for HSCT and had a higher risk of post-HSCT SOS.
