ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called OBI-3424 for patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) that has either come back after treatment (relapsed) or hasn’t responded to previous treatments (refractory). The purpose of the study is to see how well OBI-3424 works in reducing the amount of leukemia in the body. It is currently open for adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with relapsed or refractory T-ALL and have certain other health criteria met, such as having leukemia cells present in their blood or bone marrow.

Participants in the trial will receive OBI-3424 and will be monitored closely by healthcare professionals to assess how well the treatment is working and to check for any side effects. It’s important to note that participants must not have received certain treatments within a specific timeframe before joining the study, and they will need to undergo some tests to confirm their eligibility. By joining this trial, participants will be contributing to research that may help improve treatment options for others with similar conditions in the future.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • 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 must have no evidence of central nervous system disease within 28 days prior to registration based on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) studies. Patients with clinical signs or symptoms consistent with central nervous system (CNS) involvement must have a lumbar puncture which is negative for CNS involvement; the lumbar puncture must be completed within 28 days prior to registration. Patients with CNS1 or CNS2 are eligible; however patients with CNS3 are not eligible
• • Note that the patients may receive intrathecal chemotherapy with the initial lumbar puncture. This may count as the first dose of intrathecal therapy required as part of the study

• • Patients must not have had chemotherapy or investigational agents within 14 days prior to registration except for corticosteroids, oral 6-mercaptopurine, oral methotrexate, vincristine, intrathecal chemotherapy, or hydroxyurea. For participants who have received radiation therapy, at least 7 days must have elapsed from the end of radiation prior to registration and participants must not currently be experiencing toxicities from radiation therapy
• • Patients must not have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic transplant within 90 days prior to registration
• • Patients must have no evidence of active \>= grade 2 acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) or moderate or severe limited chronic GVHD. Patients must have no history of extensive GVHD of any severity within 90 days prior to registration. Patients who are post-transplant must be off calcineurin inhibitors for at least 21 days to be eligible. Extensive GVHD is defined as 1) generalized skin involvement or 2) localized skin involvement and/or hepatic dysfunction plus liver histology or cirrhosis or involvement of eye or minor salivary organ or oral mucosa or any other target organ
• • Patients must be \>= 12 years of age
• • Patients ≥ 16 years of age must have a Zubrod Performance Status of 0-3. Patients \< 16 years of age must have a Lansky score of ≥ 50
• • Patients must not have systemic fungal, bacterial, viral or other infection that is not controlled (defined as exhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection and without improvement, despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment) within 14 days prior to registration
• • Patients ≥ 18 years of age must have creatinine clearance \> 30 mL/min within 14 days prior to registration according to the Cockcroft Gault equation
• • Patients 12-17 years of age must have adequate renal function within 14 days prior to registration defined as serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) according to age or a calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (based on Schwartz formula) or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 50ml/min/1.73 m\^2
• • Patients must have direct bilirubin =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) within 14 days prior to registration
• • Patients must have alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =\< 3.0 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) or =\< 5.0 x ULN (if thought to be related to leukemic involvement) within 14 days prior to registration
• • Prothrombin time (PT)/partial thromboplastin time (PTT)/ fibrinogen (as clinically indicated for example but not limited to history of bleeding or active bleeding, concern for disseminated intravascular coagulation) (within 14 days prior to registration to obtain baseline measurements)
• • From metabolic panel (comprehensive or basic): sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide (CO2), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (within 14 days prior to registration to obtain baseline measurements)
• • Patients must be able to safely discontinue use of strong inhibitors/inducers of CYP3A4 or PgP-g-p and must be able to safely discontinue use of naproxen for 48 hours before and after each dose of OBI-3424
• • Patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection are eligible providing they are on effective anti-retroviral therapy and have undetectable viral load at their most recent viral load test within 6 months prior to registration. (HIV viral load testing is required only for patients with known HIV infection). Patients must not be receiving antiviral therapies that are known strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4
• • Patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may be eligible provided that they have an undetectable HBV viral load within 28 days prior to registration.

Patients that had transient prolongation of QTc secondary to medications or electrolyte abnormalities are not excluded if the QTc normalized and remain within acceptable QTcF range (interval \> 450 msec for males; \> 470 msec for females). Additionally, suspected medications should be no longer required or used, and electrolyte abnormalities must have normalized
• • Patients must not be pregnant or nursing due to the teratogenic potential of the drug used on this study.
