E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to improve the outcome (in terms of event-free survival (EFS) as the primary endpoint) of newly diagnosed KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) compared with the historical results of the Interfant06 protocol. |
|

1. To estimate overall survival (OS) and compare it with corresponding historical results of the Interfant-06 protocol, in the whole study and by risk group. 2. To determine outcome (in terms of secondary endpoint 2) according to risk group and compare it with corresponding historical results of the Interfant-06 protocol. 3. To determined outcome (in terms of secondary endpoint 3) taking into account the protocol-specific definition of resistance. 4. To assess the response to different treatment phases in term of minimal residual disease (MRD) response. 5. To evaluate the incidence of CD19 negative relapses 6. To evaluate the incidence of myeloid lineage switches 7. To describe the toxicity associated to each treatment phase. 8. To describe long term cardiotoxicity 9. To evaluate survival after relapse, overall and by risk group

E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
1 - The Goldilocks study- Developing biomarkers for CNS leukemia in infant ALL (v1.1 dd 21Apr2022) Aim: to develop clinical grade, quality assured, diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for central nervous system (CNS) leukaemia in infants with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). 2 - Pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutic agents in infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia to support optimal dosing (v1.0 dd 22Feb2022) The objective of this study is to gain better insight in the pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutic agents in infant ALL, taking into account the influence of maturation and body size in the first year(s) of life. Objectives: • Primary objective: Quantification of the effects of maturation and body size on the PK of vincristine, daunorubicin and dexamethasone in infant ALL by means of population PK modelling. • Secondary objective: To include the identified age related differences into physiologically-based PK (PBPK) model frameworks allowing extrapolation of the results to other drugs used in this population. • To describe the pharmacokinetics of (high-dose and low-dose) methotrexate and 6-mercaptopurine during MARMA phase and maintenance therapy and their association with outcome.
3- Investigation of the Immune (Micro)environment During ALL Therapy with Blinatumomab (V1.1 dd 25Mar2022) Aims: 1. To define which factors of the host immune system pre- and during treatment may have impact on response to targeted immunotherapy in infant ALL. 2. To decipher the interaction between host immune system and modifications induced by the bispecific antibody blinatumomab. Objectives: 1. To definitively investigate the immune TME composition in bone marrow and T cell functional status in infant B-cell ALL. Specifically, we will identify: a. The key cellular effectors mediating blinatumomab therapeutic efficacy in infant ALL, and their biological characteristics. b. Composition of the immune milieu in blinatumomab responders versus non-responders. c. Predictors of CD19-negative escape or lineage switch, and conversely, determination of the mechanisms by which CD19- infant ALL cells are eliminated during blinatumomab therapy. 2. Study correlation of response to blinatumomab to functional parameters of the immune cell subset (lymphoid and myeloid) repertoire before start and during blinatumomab (T-cell fitness score)
4 - Neurotoxicity and treatment-related neurocognitive complications after Interfant-21 treatment (V1.0 dd 27Jan2022) Aims: 1. To examine the incidence, severity, and longitudinal changes in neurodevelopmental impairment in infants treated according to the Interfant-21 protocol during and after therapy. 2. To identify risk factors for adverse outcomes including whether acute neurotoxic events are associated with poor performance on neurodevelopmental tests compared to patients without acute neurotoxicity.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Patients with newly diagnosed B- precursor ALL or B-cell MPAL according to the WHO classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues (revised 4th edition 2017, with KMT2A-rearrangement. 2. ≤ 365 days of age at the time of diagnosis of ALL. 3. Written informed consent of the parents or other legally authorized guardian of the patient according to local law and regulations.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. KMT2A-germline patients. 2. T-ALL. 3. Age > 365 days at the time of diagnosis. 4. Relapsed ALL. 5. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids (equivalent prednisone >10 mg/m2/day) for more than one week and/or any chemotherapeutic agent in the 4-week interval prior to diagnosis. Patients who received corticosteroids by aerosol are eligible for the study.
Additional exclusion criteria for blinatumomab: 1. CD19 negative B-precursor ALL at diagnosis 2. CNS involvement (CNS2/CNS3/TLP+ status) at the EOI. Patients with CNS disease at the time of diagnosis are eligible if CNS1 status is achieved prior to the start of the first blinatumomab cycle (lumbar puncture at ~day 33 of induction). 3. Proven hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of the excipients in blinatumomab. 4. Patients who have received a live vaccine 28 days prior to blinatumomab administration or plan to receive a live vaccine prior to B-cell recovery after the last dose of blinatumomab.
If exclusion criteria for blinatumomab are met, the patient should be treated according to the protocol but without blinatumomab.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is EFS defined as the time from diagnosis to resistance to induction (i.e. no complete remission at the end of induction) , relapse, death from any cause or second malignancy (whichever occurs first), or time to last follow-up (censored) for patients without events. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Continuously through treatment until last patient last visit. For this reason, comparison with the historical data will be performed when follow-up is mature enough (median follow-up will be at least 3 years, i.e. at a timepoint which, historically, the vast majority of events have already occurred). |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. OS is defined as the time from the date of diagnosis to death from any cause. Patients who are alive will be censored at the date of last follow up. OS will be estimated for the entire study cohort and according to risk group. 2. The endpoints for analysis by risk group will be EFS, cumulative incidence (or percentage) of resistance to induction (no complete remission at the end of induction) , cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), death in complete remission (CR) and second malignancy. 3. The outcome for the entire study cohort and according to risk group will be evaluated in terms of the following protocol specific definition of EFS: the time from diagnosis to resistance to protocol, relapse, death from any cause or second malignancy (whichever occurs first), or time to last follow-up for patients without events. In particular, resistance is defined at the end of the first blinatumomab cycle (while, in the EFS as primary endpoint, resistance is defined at the end of induction to allow the comparison with the historical results of the Interfant-06 protocol). Cumulative incidence (or percentage) of resistance, CIR, death in CR and second malignancy will also be estimated. 4. MRD response as defined in the protocol and frequencies of MRD levels. 5. Proportion of CD19 negative relapses in the entire study cohort and according to risk group. 6. Proportion of myeloid lineage switches in the entire study cohort and according to risk group. 7. Proportion of grade ≥3 adverse event (AEs) during the blinatumomab course(s). Proportion of adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) in all protocol phases. 8. Proportion of grade ≥2 cardiac disorders (See AESI Table in protocol) at 2 and 5 years after diagnosis 9. OS after first relapse, defined as the time from first relapse to death from any cause, in the entire study cohort and according to risk group.
