Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nelarabine has shown significant activity in patients with T-cell malignancies. This study will determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of the combination of nelarabine, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in patients with first bone marrow relapse of T-ALL, or first relapse of T-LL.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Nelarabine Dose Level 1

The study will begin at Dose Level 1 at 480 mg/m2 Nelarabine (75% of single agent maximum tolerated dose) and 330 mg/m2 Cyclophospamide and will escalate to the next Dose Level if the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is not exceeded. The first 3 patients will be enrolled into Dose Level 1. If 0/3 experiences dose limiting toxicity (DLT) at a given dose level, then the dose is escalated to the next higher level and 3 more patients are enrolled. If 1/3 experiences DLT at current dose, the up to 3 more patients are accrued at the same dose level. If 2 or more DLTs are observed in a 3-patient or 6-patient cohort at a given dose level, then the MTD has been exceeded, dose escalation will be stopped, and up to 3 additional patients will be enrolled at the next lower dose level (unless 6 patients have already been treated at that prior dose). If the MTD is exceeded at Dose Level 0, the study will be closed.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients to be enrolled in the dose-escalation portion of this study must have T-cell ALL or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) in first relapse or must have failed primary induction chemotherapy (ie, never attained a complete remission following an initial course of standard therapy for T-ALL or T-LL). Patients to be enrolled in the cohort expansion portion of this study (ie, those treated at the recommended phase 2 dose) must have T-cell ALL in first relapse or must have failed primary induction chemotherapy (ie, never attained a complete remission following an initial course of standard therapy for T-ALL). T-LL patients are not eligible for the cohort expansion phase.
* Patients with T-cell ALL must have greater than 25% blasts in the bone marrow with or without extramedullary disease.
* Patients with T-cell LL must have recurrent disease, documented by clinical or radiographic criteria, as well as histologic verification of the malignancy at original diagnosis. Patients with T-cell LL enrolled in the phase I dose-escalation study are not required to have measurable disease; however, patients enrolled in the phase II cohort expansion at the MTD must have measurable disease.
* Patients may have CNS 1 or CNS 2 disease but not CNS 3.
* ECOG 0-2 or Karnofsky ≥ 50% for patients \> 16 years of age; Lansky ≥ 50% for patients ≤16 years of age.
* Patients may be enrolled on study regardless of the timing of prior Intrathecal therapy; however, they MAY NOT BEGIN TREATMENT ON THIS PROTOCOL UNTIL A MINIMUM OF 7 DAYS HAS ELAPSED SINCE PRIOR INTRATHECAL THERAPY.
* At least 6 weeks must have elapsed since administration of nitrosureas.
* At least 12 weeks must have elapsed since administration of craniospinal or hemipelvic radiation.

* Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN for age. If the total bilirubin is elevated, patient will still be eligible if the conjugated (direct) serum bilirubin ≤ ULN for age.
* ALT ≤ 5x ULN of normal for age.
* Adequate cardiac function defined as shortening fraction of ≥ 27% by echocardiogram or ejection fraction ≥ 45% by gated radionuclide study.
* No evidence of dyspnea at rest
* No exercise intolerance

* Previous hematopoetic stem cell transplantation.
