1-1.99 years: 8 mg 2-2.99 years: 10 mg 3-8.99 years: 12 mg
Greater than or equal to 9 years: 15 mg

Greater than or equal to 9 years: 15 mg

Treatment: Drugs: Hydrocortisone
Given as part of the Triple intrathecal therapy to patients with CNS 3 disease at the doses defined by age below on days 8, 15, 22 and 29:

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Patients must be =1 and = 21 years of age when originally diagnosed with acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

(ALL) with =25% blasts in the bone marrow (M3), with or without extramedullary
disease.

- Patients may have central nervous system 1, 2 or 3 disease.

- Karnofsky Performance Level = 50 for patients > 10 years of age and Lansky = 50 for
patients = 10 years of age.

- Patients must have had 2 or more prior therapeutic attempts defined as:

- Relapse after going into remission from re-induction for the first or subsequent
relapse (ie: 2nd , 3rd, 4th…relapse), or

- Refractory disease after first or greater relapse and a single re-induction
attempt. *Please note, Enrollment will be restricted to at most one refractory
patient in each cohort of 3 patients per dose level.

- Patients with ALL who are refractory to frontline induction therapy are not
eligible.

- Patients who relapse while receiving standard ALL maintenance chemotherapy will not be
required to have a waiting period before entry onto this study.

Summary
Brief summary
An experimental drug called EZN-3042 targets survivin, a protein expressed in leukemia cells
at relapse that promotes the leukemia cells to grow. The main goal of this phase I study is
to find out the dose of EZN-3042 that can be safely given without serious side effects both
alone and in combination with standard chemotherapy drugs during re-induction.
