Acute lymphocytic leukemia Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Acute lymphocytic leukemia Overview
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), also known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It starts from young white blood cells called lymphocytes in the bone marrow; mainly characterized by an overproduction of immature white blood cells, called lymphoblasts or leukemic blasts. Because the bone marrow is unable to make adequate numbers of red cells, normal white cells, and platelets, people with ALL become more susceptible to anemia, recurrent infections, and bruising and bleeding easily. The blast cells can then spill out of the bone marrow into the bloodstream and accumulate in various organs including the lymph nodes or glands, spleen, liver, and central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).Acute lymphocytic leukemia Diagnosis
Tests and procedures used to diagnose ALL include:
Blood tests- The Complete Blood Count (CBC) measures the numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This test is often done along with a differential that looks at the numbers of the different types of white blood cells. For the peripheral blood smear, a drop of blood is smeared across a slide and then looked under a microscope to see how the cells look. Changes in the numbers and the appearance of the cells often help diagnose leukemia.Bone marrow test- During bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, a needle is used to remove a sample of bone marrow from the hipbone or breastbone. The sample is sent to a lab for testing to look for leukemia cells. Doctors in the lab will classify blood cells into specific types based on their size, shape, and other genetic or molecular features. They also look for certain changes in the cancer cells and determine whether the leukemia cells began from B lymphocytes or T lymphocytes.
Imaging tests- Imaging tests such as an X-ray, a computerized tomography (CT) scan, or an ultrasound scan may help determine whether cancer has spread to the brain and spinal cord or other parts of the body.
Spinal fluid test- A lumbar puncture test, also called a spinal tap, may be used to collect a sample of spinal fluid - the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The sample is tested to see whether cancer cells have spread to the spinal fluid.
Acute lymphocytic leukemia Treatment
Treatment of ALL includes:
Induction Therapy - The main purpose of the first phase of treatment is to kill most of the leukemia cells in the bone marrow and blood and also to restore normal blood cell production.Consolidation Therapy -Consolidation therapy is also known as post-remission therapy. The main purpose of this therapy is to completely wipe out remaining leukemia in the body, such as in the brain or spinal cord. Consolidation therapy is also known as post-remission therapy.
Maintenance Therapy - This is known as the third phase of treatment, which prevents leukemia cells from regrowth. However, the treatment used in this stage is often given at much lesser doses for a long period, of years.
Preventive treatment to the spinal cord - In this phase of therapy, a patient suffering from ALL may receive additional treatment from killing leukemia cells which are located in the central nervous system. Also, in this type of treatment phase chemotherapy drugs are often injected directly into the fluid that covers the spinal cord.
Although, depending on the condition of a patient and the phases of treatment of ALL treatment may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplant.

TECARTUS (brexucabtagene autoleucel): Gilead Sciences
TECARTUS is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy, which binds to CD19-expressing cancer cells and normal B cells. Studies demonstrated that following anti-CD19 CAR-T cell engagement with CD19-expressing target cells, the CD28 and CD3-zeta costimulatory domains activate downstream signaling cascades that lead to T cell activation, proliferation, acquisition of effector functions, and secretion of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This sequence of events leads to the killing of CD19-expressing cells. In October 2021, the US FDA approved TECARTUS for adult patients with R/R B-ALL. It was approved by the EC in September 2022.KYMRIAH (tisagenlecleucel): Novartis
KYMRIAH is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy that involves reprogramming a patient’s T cells with a transgene encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to identify and eliminate CD19-expressing malignant and normal cells. The CAR is comprised of a murine single-chain antibody fragment that recognizes CD19 and is fused to intracellular signaling domains. Upon binding to CD19-expressing cells, the CAR transmits a signal to promote T cell expansion, activation, target cell elimination, and persistence of the KYMRIAH cells. In August 2017, the US FDA approved KYMRIAH for the treatment of patients up to age 25 years with R/R B-ALL. It was approved by the EC in August 2018, and by the MHLW in March 2019.RYLAZE (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi recombinant/JZP458): Jazz Pharmaceuticals
RYLAZE is an asparagine-specific enzyme indicated as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen. The pharmacological effect of RYLAZE is based on the killing of leukemic cells due to the depletion of plasma asparagine. Leukemic cells with low expression of asparagine synthetase have a reduced ability to synthesize asparagine and, therefore, depend on an exogenous source of asparagine for survival. In June 2021, Jazz Pharmaceuticals announced the US FDA approval of RYLAZE for use as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of ALL. In May 2022, the company completed the MAA submission to the EMA for an M/W/F dosing schedule and IM and IV administration for JZP458 with the potential for approval in 2023. The company is also advancing the program for potential submission, approval, and launch in Japan.Emerging Drug
Orca-T: Orca Biosystems
Orca-T is a first-in-class high-precision cell therapy that combines purified cells from a matched donor. It is designed to replace a patient’s diseased blood and immune system with a healthy one while lowering the risk of developing Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and other life-threatening transplant-related side effects.In August 2022, Orca Bio announced that the Precision-T, its pivotal Phase III study, is open, enrolling and treating patients at various clinical trial sites. In October 2020, the US FDA granted RMAT designation to Orca-T for treating patients with blood cancers (acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and myelofibrosis) who are eligible for a hematopoietic (blood) stem cell transplant. In addition, Orca-T has received ODD from the US FDA for enhancing cell engraftment in patients who qualify for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
Daratumumab: Janssen Research & Development
Daratumumab is a human IgG1k monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to the CD38 molecule, which is highly expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells. Daratumumab is being developed by Janssen Biotech under an exclusive worldwide license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize daratumumab from Genmab. Currently, the company is evaluating the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in the Phase II trial in pediatric and young adult patients for the treatment of R/R Precursor B-cell or T-cell ALL.Obecabtagene autoleucel (obe-cel): Autolus Therapeutics
Obe-cel is an autologous CD19 CAR-T cell therapy with a unique CD19 CAR. The CAR is designed to have a fast-off kinetic, which mimics physiological T-cell receptor interactions. Obe-cel has demonstrated that this enhanced kinetic profile results in increased T-cell persistence and reduced T-cell exhaustion, leading to high levels of durable remissions and remarkably low levels of cytokine release syndrome. Autolus Therapeutics recently announced that the FELIX Phase II trial of obe-cel in R/R adult ALL has continued to progress well, and the company is on track to report initial results from the trial in the fourth quarter of 2022. In March 2022, obe-cel was granted Orphan Medical Product Designation by the EMA for the treatment of ALL, having previously received ODD by the US FDA for B-ALL. In April 2022, the US FDA granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation to obe-cel for the treatment of adult B-ALL. Obe-cel also received PRIME designation from the EMA and Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), United Kingdom.Drug Class Insights
In the past, targeted therapy has demonstrated impressive efficacy and the development of protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) has a promising impact on acute leukemia patients. The role of molecular monitoring and the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors after stem cell transplantation are areas of active investigation, and the results of ongoing trials will help to clarify the optimal management of these patients. The development and application of BCR-ABL1 - targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as GLEEVEC (imatinib mesylate), SPRYCEL (dasatinib), and ICLUSIG (ponatinib) in Ph+ ALL has dramatically changed care and improved survival. Second-generation TKIs, such as dasatinib, overcome most TKI resistance by BCR-ABL1 KD mutation although they are ineffective against the T315I mutation. Several pharmaceutical companies are working on more effective small inhibitors because previously approved inhibitors have been quite successful in certain groups of cancer patients. In the last few years, immunotherapy has undergone a new phase of development which is linked to the development of CAR-T cell therapy, a personalized treatment involving the use of genetically modified T lymphocytes to attack the cancer cells. KYMRIAH (tisangenlecleucel) in single perfusion has provided durable remission with long-term persistence in both pediatric and young adult patients with R/R B-cell ALL, with transient high-grade toxic effects.Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Market Outlook
The treatment options for ALL, include chemotherapy, post-remission therapy (consolidation and maintenance therapy), targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and CAR-T cell therapy. In addition to this, stem cell transplant is also used early in therapy for patients with high-risk subtypes of ALL. In December 2018, the US FDA approved ASPARLAS (calaspargase pegol-mknl) by Servier Pharmaceuticals which is an asparagine-specific enzyme, as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for ALL in pediatric and young adult patients aged 1 month to 21 years. In June 2021, the US FDA approved RYLAZE (asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn) by Jazz Pharmaceuticals as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of ALL and LBL in adult and pediatric patients 1 month or older who have developed hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginase. Amgen’s cancer drug BLINCYTO (blinatumomab) accomplished one of the fastest approvals on record until 2014. It is a bispecific CD19-directed CD3 T cell engager (BiTE) immunotherapy. Therapies based on CAR-T cells may have a huge potential clinical impact. In 2017, the US FDA made a historic decision by approving the first-ever CAR-T cell therapy for the treatment of ALL, that is, KYMRIAH (tisangenlecleucel) by Novartis. Companies like AbbVie and Roche (venetoclax), Gamida Cell (omidubicel), Orca Biosystems (Orca-T), Janssen Research & Development (daratumumab), Jazz Pharmaceuticals (CPX-351), Syndax Pharmaceuticals (SNDX-5613), Autolus Therapeutics (obecabtagene autoleucel), Wugen (WU-CART-007), Servier/Allogene (UCART19), Cellectis (UCART22), and several others are testing their products for the treatment of ALL. The future of the ALL treatment landscape is anticipated to be dominated by CAR-T cell therapies. There are several CAR T-cell Therapies in the pipeline such as UCART19, UCART22, WU-CART-007, AUTO1/22, and others. Among the aforementioned therapies, some have shown good efficacy and safety profile.- The total market size of ALL in the 7MM was approximately USD 1.10 billion in 2021 and is projected to increase during the forecast period (2023-2032).
