Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to retrospectively investigate the re-induction complete remission rate and adverse events of FLEND therapy (a combination chemotherapy of fludarabine, etoposide, and nelarabine) in pediatric and AYA patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), and thereby to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this regimen. Since no standard re-induction regimen for relapsed or refractory T-ALL has yet been established in Japan, the findings will provide useful information to support the appropriate use of FLEND therapy in this population.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Complete remission rate after FLEND therapy among relapsed T-ALL patients who were not in remission at the start of FLEND therapy

Key secondary outcomes

1) CR rate of patients who were not in remission before FLEND therapy, stratified by disease stage
2) Minimal residual disease (MRD) after each cycle of FLEND therapy.
3) CR maintenance rate of patients who were in CR before FLEND therapy, stratified by disease stage.
4) Duration of CR maintenance of patients who were in CR before FLEND therapy, stratified by disease stage.
5) Incidence of adverse events associated with FLEND therapy, stratified by disease stage.
6) Proportion of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after FLEND therapy.
7) 4-month and 1-year event-free survival (EFS) after FLEND therapy, stratified by disease stage.
8) 4-month and 1-year overall survival (OS) after FLEND therapy, stratified by disease stage.
