Overall Survival (OS)
Up to 5 years after randomization or 2 years from randomization of the last participant, whichever occurs first.

OS was defined as the time from randomization to date of death due to any cause. Participants last known to be alive were censored at date of last contact.

Minimum Residual Disease (MRD) Negativity in participants achieving complete response (CR), complete response with incomplete platelet count recovery (CRp), or complete response with incomplete count recovery (CRi)
After 1 treatment cycle: Day 28 +/- 2 days

MRD negativity status is determined based on the minimum MRD percentage between the date of CR/CRp/CRi and end of treatment test as assessed by RQ-PCR, with reflex to FC result if MRD is non-evaluable by RQ-PCR

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin in Combination With Rituximab (375 mg/m^2 )
First 28-day cycle

Inotuzumab ozogamicin was dose escalated (3 to 6 evaluable participants enrolled per dose cohort) during the first 28 days after the first administration of inotuzumab ozogamicin + rituximab. Enrollment at the next dose level or enrollment of additional subjects into a cohort proceeded according to the following criteria: 0 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by Day 28 of first dose move to higher dose, 1 participant reporting DLT but no others in cohort by Day 28 of first dose move to higher dose, greater than 2 participants reporting DLT by Day 28 of first dose stop and prior dose level considered MTD. The worldwide medical monitor and investigators reviewed all significant study drug-related toxicities to determine if the dose escalation rules were satisfied and whether the dose escalation schedule required modification.

Percentage of Participants With a Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) (Safety Population)
Protocol reporting period of from informed consent to at least 28 days after the last dose. This outcome measure time frame: From the first dose of study drug to up to 56 days after the last dose of either study drug.

A TEAE is any event that occurred after the first dose of study drug up to 56 days post the last dose of study drug (either rituximab or inotuzumab ozogamicin).

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Baseline up to 42 days after last dose of study drug (up to Day 225)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) are defined as any new event reported after first dose of study drug up to 42 days after last dose of study drug, or any event that is worse in severity than at any time during the baseline period. AEs included both SAEs and non-serious adverse events (non-SAEs).

Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher Grades Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Based on Severity
Baseline up to 42 days after last dose of study drug (up to Day 225)

AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AE severity was defined to be the maximum toxicity grade of the treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) experienced by the participants during the study. AE was assessed according to severity; Grade 1 (mild AE), Grade 2 (moderate AE), Grade 3 (severe AE), Grade 4 (life-threatening or disabling AE), Grade 5 (death related to AE). Participants with Grade 3 or higher grades TEAEs were reported.

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD): Part 1 (Dose Escalation Cohorts)

Frequently asked questions about inotuzumab ozogamicin

What is Inotuzumab Ozogamicin used for?

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate being studied for B-cell lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It is being evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory ALL and in children with first relapse ALL. The drug is not approved and remains in clinical development.

What does Inotuzumab Ozogamicin target?

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody (a -mab type agent) that targets CD22, a cell surface antigen expressed on B-cells. By binding to CD22, the drug delivers a cytotoxic agent to malignant B-cells. This mechanism is being studied in B-cell malignancies such as lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Who makes Inotuzumab Ozogamicin?

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. The company is conducting clinical trials of the drug in oncology indications including B-cell lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

What phase is Inotuzumab Ozogamicin in?

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed Phase 1 and Phase 3 trials, and an active Phase 2 trial is currently recruiting. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is Inotuzumab Ozogamicin in?

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin has been studied in four clinical trials. Completed trials include NCT00299494 and NCT00724971 in B-cell lymphoma, and NCT01564784 in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. An active Phase 2 trial, NCT05748171, is recruiting children aged 1 to 18 years with first relapse ALL.

Is Inotuzumab Ozogamicin the same as CMC-544?

Yes, Inotuzumab Ozogamicin is also known as CMC-544. Clinical trial records refer to the drug as inotuzumab ozogamicin [CMC-544], confirming that both names identify the same investigational agent being studied in B-cell lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
