An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant irrespective of a causal relationship with the study treatment. TEAEs are AEs that occurred after the start of study treatment and up to the end of the study or 30 days of the last study treatment, whichever is earlier. Any clinically significant changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms, and clinical laboratory tests that occurred after study treatment administration were recorded as TEAEs. Treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) were TEAEs considered related to at least one study drug by the investigator, including those with unknown relationship. A serious AE (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, was immediately life threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or another medically important serious event.
A DLT was defined as any of the following toxicities assessed by the investigator as possibly, probably, or definitely attributable to carfilzomib, with protocol defined exclusions: Any Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity, ≥ Grade 4 neutropenia or ≥ Grade 3 thrombocytopenia.
CR was defined as: 1. Attainment of M1 bone marrow status (less than 5% blasts in a bone marrow aspirate and at least 200 cells counted) with no evidence of circulating blasts or extramedullary disease. 2. Recovery of peripheral counts: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1000/µL * Platelet count greater than or equal to 100000/µL. * Assessed between days 29 and 45 Data was adjusted as inverse probability of treatment weight (IPTW) for the average treatment effect of the treated (IPTW-ATTW).

| Phase 1b: Dose Escalation 1 | EXPERIMENTAL | Subjects will receive carfilzomib in combination with induction chemotherapy, comprising an R3 backbone of dexamethasone, mitoxantrone, PEG asparaginase, and vincristine. Subjects will have a 1 week carfilzomib single agent Lead in Window prior to the Induction Cycle. Subjects will receive a 4 week cycle of induction chemotherapy and have the option to receive a 4 week cycle of consolidation chemotherapy (Children's Oncology Group (COG) modified Berlin Frankfurt Münster (BFM) chemotherapy backbone (6 mercaptopurine, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, PEG asparaginase, vincristine), if stable disease or better response is achieved at the end of the Induction Cycle. |
| Phase 1b: Dose Escalation 2 | EXPERIMENTAL | Subjects will receive carfilzomib in combination with induction chemotherapy, comprising a VXLD backbone of vincristine, dexamethasone, PEG asparaginase, and daunorubicin. Subjects will receive a 4 week cycle of carfilzomib and induction chemotherapy and then have the option to receive a 4 week cycle of consolidation chemotherapy (Children's Oncology Group (COG) modified Berlin Frankfurt Münster (BFM) chemotherapy backbone (6 mercaptopurine, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, PEG asparaginase, vincristine), if stable disease or better response is achieved at the end of the Induction Cycle. |
| Phase 2: Aged ≥ 12 months at screening | EXPERIMENTAL | All subjects aged ≥ 12 months at screening. Subjects will receive the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of carfilzomib determined in Phase 1b. Subjects will receive a 4 week cycle of carfilzomib and induction chemotherapy comprising of a VXLD backbone of vincristine, dexamethasone, PEG asparaginase and daunorubicin. Subjects will then have the option to receive a 4 week cycle of carfilzomib in combination with consolidation chemotherapy Children's Oncology Group (COG) modified Berlin Frankfurt Münster (BFM) chemotherapy backbone (6 mercaptopurine, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, PEG asparaginase, vincristine) if subjects showed no disease progression at the end of the Induction Cycle. |
| Phase 2: Aged < 12 months at screening | EXPERIMENTAL | All subjects aged \< 12 months at screening. Subjects will receive the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of carfilzomib determined in Phase 1b. Subjects will receive a modified 5 week cycle (based on Interfant-06) of carfilzomib and induction chemotherapy comprising of a VXLD backbone of vincristine, dexamethasone, PEG asparaginase and daunorubicin. Subjects will then have the option to receive a 5 week cycle (modified based on Interfant-06) of carfilzomib in combination with consolidation chemotherapy Children's Oncology Group (COG) modified Berlin Frankfurt Münster (BFM) chemotherapy backbone (6 mercaptopurine, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, PEG asparaginase, vincristine), if subjects showed no disease progression at the end of the Induction Cycle. |

Phase 1b Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 21 years or younger at the time of initial ALL diagnosis and age \> 1 year at the time of study treatment initiation. 2.

PEG asparaginase is used for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is being studied in combination with induction chemotherapy in children with relapsed or refractory ALL, and in total therapy for infants with ALL.
PEG asparaginase is developed by Amgen Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker AMGN.
PEG asparaginase is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. Two Phase 1 trials are listed, one completed and one recruiting.
PEG asparaginase is associated with two clinical trials. NCT02303821, a completed Phase 1 study of carfilzomib with induction chemotherapy in children with relapsed or refractory ALL, enrolled 141 participants. NCT05848687, a recruiting Phase 1 trial for infants with ALL, plans to enroll 90 participants.
PEG asparaginase is a form of asparaginase that is pegylated. It is also known as pegaspargase, a common name for this drug. The trials listed use PEG asparaginase as part of combination regimens.
