Challenges in Relapsed ALLOutcomes for patients remain unsatisfactory♦ Suboptimal remission rates (MRD response)♦ Poor OS rates

Treatment for relapsed ALL♦ Involves traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy ♦ SCT

• Unclear benefit of intensive chemotherapy versus SCT• Both strategies result in poor outcomes and undesired long term sequelae

Case Study: Georgie – Adverse Event

20 hours into infusion Georgie spikes a fever (39.7⁰C )♦ She feels achy, has chills and is fatigued♦ O2 sats < 90 while she is sleeping- requires O2 support ♦ SOB with ambulation ♦ Crackles in right lower lobe with auscultation

What are concerns in caring for Georgie?♦ Hypoxia♦ Fever/Sepsis♦ Pulmonary edema♦ Capillary leak syndrome♦ Cytokine release syndrome

Aimee Ermel, 2012

45

Cytokine Release Syndrome

Most common toxicity associated with BiTE

Constellation of inflammatory symptoms♦ Results from cytokine elevations

♦ Associated with T-cell proliferation

CRS ranges from mild to severe to life threatening♦ Mild: flu-like symptoms, fever, myalgia

♦ Severe: vascular leak, hypotension, pulmonary edema, coagulopathy

♦ Life threatening: can lead to multi-system organ failure

Cytokine elevations can be measured ♦ Degree of elevation does not always correlate with clinical severity

CRS: How Common?

Pediatric reported CRS based on high tumor burden♦ Blintatumomab as single agent at time of relapse

Gore et al. (2014, ASH)♦ n = 39 pediatric patients♦ CRS 8% (3/39) of patients

• Two with Grade 3 events

Topp et al. (2015, Lancet Oncology)♦ n =189 adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-ALL♦ Received Dex in prephase to reduce tumor burden♦ 2% of patients had Grade 3 CRS

Cytokine Concentrations

48

Management of CRS

Reported with first cycle of BiTE♦ Typically within first 12-72 hours

Most Significantly elevated cytokines:♦ IL10, IL6, IFNy

Is it possible to target the cytokines themselves?

Anti IL6 (tocilizumab) – resolution of CRS ♦ Reversal and clinical improvement seen within 24 hours♦ FDA approved for JIA in children as young as 2 years

New CRS Toxicity Grading System

Porter, D. ASH, December 14, 2014 © 2014

Grade Clinical Picture Management

1 Mild: Flu-like symptoms, fever, myalgia •Antipyretics•Supportive care

2 Moderate: beginning S/S of organ dysfunction (e.g. grade 2 creatinine, grade 3 LFTs)

•Hospitalization•IV therapies

3 Severe: ↑ing S/S of organ dysfunction (e.g. grade 3 creatinine, grade 4 LFTs),hypotension, coagulopathy, hypoxia

•O2/IVFs/pressors•FFP/Cryo•Anti IL-6-Tocilizumab

4 Life threatening: Significant hypotension/ Hypoxia

•Multiple pressors•Ventilator support •Anti IL-6-Tocilizumab

50

Tocilizumab: When and How?

Grade 1 and 2♦ Supportive interventions

Grade 3 and 4♦ Patient likely in PICU♦ Consideration for administration of Tocilizumab

• Dosing per institutional guidelines

https://visualsonline.cancer.gov/details.cfm?imageid=2502

51

Case Study: Georgie

To PICU for grade 3 CRS♦ Receives Tocilizumab

What happened?♦ By hour 72, CRS has resolved to grade 1

What to do about blinatumomab?♦ Can resume at a lower dose for the remainder of this cycle

♦ Follow protocol dose modifications for next cycle

• Georgie should be in hospital for dose escalation

52

Jacob’s nursing assessment at hour 24♦ Easily wakes, seems confused ♦ Struggles to perform finger-to-nose assessment ♦ He experiences a brief generalized seizure

(Grade 2 toxicity ) What to do?♦ Stop infusion♦ Administer DEX per protocol/Seizure medications♦ Investigate other causes

Can blinatumomab resume?♦ Refer to dose modification table (may

restart of resolves with 14 days)

Can dose be escalated?♦ Not allowed following neurotoxic event

Case Study: Jacob

53

Unique Neurotoxicity with BiTE

All CNS reported toxicities with BiTE have been reversible!

Temporary CNS dysfunction may include♦ Encephalopathy♦ Trembling/Apraxia♦ Reversible seizures♦ Somnolence/Agitation♦ Dizziness/Confusion/Disorientation ♦ Speech/Coordination disorders/Loss of movement

54

Daily Neurotoxicity Assessments

Adults♦ Daily handwriting sample predicts future nervous system toxicity

before clinical toxicity develops♦ Earlier introduction of DEX

Children♦ Daily finger-nose-finger or writing sample test is recommended

as age-appropriate for patient

If change noted in finger-nose-finger or handwriting test, it is recommended to start DEX

Adverse Events: Criteria to Resume

If eligible to resume♦ The 28-days of infusion must be completed

♦ Subsequent cycles• After 7days of dose reduction – if no further AE may dose escalate

♦ No dose escalations following > Grade 2 neurotoxicity

Permanent discontinuation/Off protocol♦ AEs requiring interruption of infusion that do not resolve to

< Grade 1 toxicity within 14 days

♦ Second AE requiring interruption of infusion

56

Practical Considerations

Double lumen central venous access♦ Dedicated line for blinatumomab

Hospitalization: close observation♦ Limited nursing assignment for first 72 hours

• Highest risk period for CRS

♦ Vital signs q 4hours♦ Daily Neuro checks: Finger-nose-finger, writing sample, sticker charts

Hospitalization is STRONGLY recommended for:- First 3 days of blinatumomab cycle AND- First 2 days s of subsequent blinatumomab cycles

57

Blinatumomab/Equipment for Administration Infusion♦ Requires 0.2 micometer filter, and DEHP-free tubing♦ Rate of infusion: 5 mL/hr♦ BiTE stable 96 hours at room temperature

• IV bag change q 96 hours• IV bags can be made up to 8 days in advance

Infusion pumps must meet study requirements♦ CADD VIP and VIP Solis, Prizm or Legacy ♦ Must have visual/auditory alarms and be lockable♦ No cassettes (they have DEHP)♦ Spare pumps available (2 per patient) and 9-volt batteries as back-up

Home care pumps have lower infusion rate calibrations. Consider using it while patient in hospital to provide hands-on training.

Other Tips!

Bags •Have child in clinic at least 1-hr prior to needed bag change

•Expect overfill•Have prepared back-ups

Pumps/Battery •Store where readily available if needed after-hours

Tubing/Caps •Do changes with 2 nurses to ↓ interruption time

CVL Flushing •Avoid flushing dedicated BiTEline to ↓ chance of bolus dose (less concerning on AALL1331 compared to early trials)

•Unavoidable in clearing occlusions/ or at end of 28-day infusion

Interruptions •Interruption > 1 hr must be recorded•Interruption > 4 hours requires readmission to hospital and use of new bag to resume infusion

Jacob Case Study: Infusion Issues

Day 21 of blinatumomab♦ Jacob has a episode of bacteremia which requires antibiotic therapy

IV over an hour 4 times a day

How do you work this therapy around the continuous blinatumomab infusion?

Record all infusion interruptions Must be as minimal as possible

Re-start infusion as soon as possible

Georgie Case Study: Pump/Infusion Issues

What to do????

Must follow institutional guidelines for unblocking CVL♦ Blinatumomab will likely be interrupted for >4 hours to unblock CVL♦ Patient to be admitted to hospital to resume infusion

• New bag of blinatumomab should be hung when infusion resumes

Georgie is at home and the mother calls to report the pump has malfunctioned and is no longer infusing the blinatumomab. They live 60 minutes from the hospital. When they arrive, the nurse is unable to flush or obtain blood return from the blinatumomab lumen.

62

Research Studies

Immunogenicity/PK peripheral samples are required:♦ Pre Cycle 1: Immuno Hour 0 prior to start of blinatumomab♦ Day 2 Cycle 1: PK ♦ Day 14 Cycle 1: PK♦ Post Cycle 2: Immuno♦ Pre-maintenance: Immuno prior to start of Cycle 1 maintenance

In cases where blinatumomab treatment will not continue to Cycle 2, collect sample at the end of Cycle 1 • See section 13.0 for optional research studies
