Researchers are studying daratumumab-hyaluronidase as a treatment for T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia T-ALL in patients who have persistent or returning minimal residual disease MRD after chemotherapy. The study aims to evaluate how well this treatment can eliminate MRD that does not respond to chemotherapy and improve survival outcomes. It also examines the treatments tolerability, especially after allogeneic stem cell transplant. Participants receive daratumumab-hyaluronidase injections 1800mg30,000 units once weekly for four weeks on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22. On Day 29, MRD status is assessed. Patients who are MRD negative continue daratumumab-hyaluronidase weekly for four more doses and then every two weeks for eight doses. Those who remain MRD positive receive daratumumab-hyaluronidase plus chemotherapy combinations on specific days as part of an intensified treatment course. During the study, participants will have evaluations including flow cytometry to measure MRD response on Days 29 and 64, along with assessments of survival outcomes and treatment tolerability. Researchers will monitor hematologic relapse, overall survival, and adverse effects. Participants are followed through treatment and response assessments to understand the therapys impact on MRD and relapse in T-ALL.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | Daratumumab-Hyaluronidase (with/without added chemotherapy, per MRD response) | Current Intensive Chemotherapy (for MRD-positive T-ALL after remission) |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A novel approach in which daratumumab-hyaluronidase is administered, with possible additional chemotherapy depending on the patient's MRD response, for adults with T-ALL in remission but persistent MRD after prior chemotherapy. | Established intensive multi-agent chemotherapy protocols representing the mainstay for adults with MRD-positive T-ALL in remission, aiming to further reduce disease burden and lower relapse risk. |
| Primary use | Designed to eradicate minimal residual disease (MRD) and maintain remission status in adults with T-ALL who remain MRD-positive after standard chemotherapy. | Aims to further reduce or eliminate MRD in adults with T-ALL in first or later remission, as MRD persistence after chemotherapy is linked to poor outcomes. |
| How it is given or performed | Daratumumab-hyaluronidase is administered subcutaneously once weekly for 4 doses. Ongoing MRD assessment guides whether additional cycles of daratumumab or a combination of daratumumab and chemotherapy are provided. | Intensive chemotherapy is delivered in multi-agent cycles, typically via intravenous infusions and intrathecal administration, according to established protocols for relapsed/refractory or MRD-positive ALL. |
| Evidence status | Clinical efficacy and long-term impact on relapse risk and survival are under investigation and are not yet established for this population. | Long-term outcomes remain poor for adults with MRD-positive T-ALL after initial chemotherapy; persistence of MRD is associated with a high risk of relapse despite further intensive therapy. |
| Important limitations | As a single-arm, early-phase trial, it is not powered to compare directly with standard therapies, and long-term risks, benefits, and durability of MRD response are unknown in this rare setting. | Even when additional cycles of intensive chemotherapy are used, many patients with persistent MRD fail to achieve durable remission or cure; high rates of toxicity and relapse are observed. |

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
Duration - Approximately 8 weeks
Participants receive daratumumab-hyaluronidase injections weekly for 4 doses. On Day 29, MRD status is evaluated to determine further treatment, which may include additional daratumumab-hyaluronidase doses alone or combined with chemotherapy.
Weekly visits during initial 4 doses and follow-up assessments on Days 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, and 64
