Scientific titleA randomised trial for adults with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Study acronymUKALL 14
Study hypothesis1.1. 1B (precursor-B lineage): to determine if the addition of rituximab to standard induction chemotherapy results in improved event-free survival (EFS) in patients with precursor B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)
1.2. 1T (T lineage): to determine if the addition of nelarabine following standard induction therapy (arms T1 and T2) improves outcome for patients with T cell ALL
2. To determine the tolerability of Pegylated asparaginase in induction (for all patients) and to compare anti-asparaginase antibody levels between patients in the 2 randomisation groups from aim 1B
3. To determine whether risk-adapted introduction of unrelated donor HSCT (myeloablative conditioning in patients aged up to and including 40 years at time of study entry and non-myeloablative conditioning in patients aged greater than 40 years, i.e., having reached their 41st birthday at time of study entry) result in greater EFS for patients at highest risk of relapse
4. To compare 2 schedules of administration (standard P1 versus 'collapsed' P2) of keratinocyte growth factor (palifermin) for efficacy in preventing the severe mucosal toxicity of etoposide/TBI HSCT conditioning regimen
Ethics approval(s)West London REC 2, 13/01/2010, ref: 09/H0711/90
ConditionAcute lymphoblastic leukaemia
InterventionRituximab: To determine if the addition of monoclonal antibody to standard induction chemotherapy results in improved EFS in patients with precursor B-cell lineage ALL
Nelarabine: To determine if the addition of nelarabine following standard induction therapy (arms T 1 and T2) improves outcome for patients with T cell ALL
Oncaspar: To determine the tolerability of pegylated asparaginase in induction (for all patients) and to compare anti-asparaginase

1. Rituximab: 375 mg/m2 given by IV on days 3, 10, 17 and 24 of Phase 1 induction therapy
2. Oncaspar: 1000 IU/m2 given by IV on days 4 and 18 of Phase 1 induction therapy
3. Nelarabine: 1.5 g/m2 given by IV on days 1, 3 and 5 immediately following Phase 2 induction therapy
4. Palifermin: 60 ug/kg given either on days -10, -9, -8, 0, 2 and 4 or -9, 0, 2 and 4 of myeloablative conditioning regimen

Total duration of treatment is approximately 2 years 6 months for all patients who complete treatment. Patients are followed up until death.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Event free survival (applies to all interventions), measured from date of randomisation until the date of relapse
2. Toxicity related to pegylated asparaginase, measured after Phase 1 induction therapy
Secondary outcome measures1. Anti-asparaginase antibodies (induction randomisation only), measured at the end of Phase 1 induction therapy
2. Overall survival, measured from date of randomisation until date of death
3. Complete remission rate: % of patients in complete remission at the end of Phase 2 induction therapy
Overall study start date01/06/2008
Overall study end date31/07/2022
