Testing the Addition of the Anti-cancer Drug Venetoclax and/or the Anti-cancer Immunotherapy Blinatumomab to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment for Infants With Newly Diagnosed KMT2A-rearranged or KMT2A-non-rearranged Leukemia

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of venetoclax in addition to a standard chemotherapy backbone and two cycles of blinatumomab in infants (aged 365 days or less at diagnosis) with newly diagnosed KMT2A-R ALL. II. To determine in a randomized manner if the addition of venetoclax to induction chemotherapy improves end of induction minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative remission rates in infants with KMT2A-R ALL. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the MRD-negative remission rate for all eligible infants with KMT2A-R ALL treated with venetoclax at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). II. To compare event free survival (EFS) rates of infants with KMT2A-R ALL treated on arm B to those treated on arm A. III. To compare 3-year EFS rates of infants with KMT2A-R ALL treated on arm A to historical controls. IV. To determine the feasibility of treating infants with KMT2A-G ALL with a Children's Oncology Group (COG) high risk ALL chemotherapy backbone and two cycles of blinatumomab and estimate the 3-year EFS rate of infants with KMT2A-G ALL treated on arm C. V. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of venetoclax in infants. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe 3-year EFS rate of infants with KMT2A-R ALL treated on arm B. II. To evaluate the use of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) for MRD detection in infant ALL compared to centralized flow cytometry. III. To characterize the PK of calaspargase pegol-mknl in infants with ALL. IV. To report the incidence of CD19 negative relapse and myeloid switch relapse with protocol therapy. V. To evaluate the impact of venetoclax in combination with chemotherapy on T-cell subsets and function. VI. To describe the feasibility of T-cell collection and success of T-cell manufacturing for infants with KMT2A-R ALL who receive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T- cell therapy after coming off protocol therapy. VII. To determine predictors of response and resistance to venetoclax and overall protocol therapy. VIII. To evaluate the impact of subsequent anti-cancer therapy on overall survival after coming off protocol therapy.

Cycles repeat every 12 weeks (84 days) for up to 2 years from the start of interim maintenance 1 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients undergo bone marrow aspiration, collection of blood samples and echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) throughout the trial. Patients may undergo computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fludeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), and/or lumbar puncture if clinically indicated. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for up to 3 years.
