Pegfilgrastim

This phase II trial tests how well etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (DA-EPOCH) with or without rituximab plus recombinant Erwinia asparaginase (JZP458) works in treating patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) negative B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or T-ALL. Chemotherapy drugs, such as etoposide, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as prednisone, lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. JZP458 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving DA-EPOCH with or without rituximab plus JZP458 may kill more cancer cells in patients with newly diagnosed Ph negative B-ALL or T-ALL.

This is a Phase 1b/IIa dose escalation clinical trial determining the recommended phase II dose of SPEDOX-6 in subjects with advanced, therapy-refractory soft-tissue sarcoma (STS); triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); cervical cancer; ovarian cancer; KRAS mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. These are subjects who have not previously been treated with anthracyclines.
