This phase I/II trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of OBI-3424 and how well it works in treating patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as OBI-3424, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. OBI-3424 may reduce the amount of leukemia in the body.
Patients must have a diagnosis of relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) based on World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Patients with relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma are eligible if lymphoblasts are >= 5% in the bone marrow or in the peripheral blood by morphology or flow cytometry
Patients must have evidence of acute leukemia in their peripheral blood or bone marrow. Patients must have >= 5% lymphoblasts in the peripheral blood or bone marrow within 14 days prior to registration. Patients with only extramedullary disease are not eligible
Patients ≥ 18 years of age must be refractory to or have relapsed following a standard induction chemotherapy. Patients < 18 years of age must have relapsed or must be refractory after 2 or more chemotherapy cycles (example: induction and consolidation)
