Details and patient eligibility

About

In this study, newly diagnosed non-elderly patients with Philadelphia chromosomal negative (PH-) B-ALL were enrolled and 1:1 randomised into Reduced-intensity chemotherapy followed by Blinatumomab cohort or hyperCVAD cohort as induction therapy. The clinical remission rate, MRD negative rate and treaty-related adverse reactions were evaluated.

Full description

Blinatumomab, a CD3/CD19 bisespecific T-cell conjugative antibody, has shown high efficacy in phase I/II studies of relapsed/refractory B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), particularly in the context of low tumor burden.Meanwhile, Blinatumomab also plays an important role in rapid and efficient clearance of MRD in patients. Therefore, its use in combination with less intensive chemotherapy for initial induction therapy in newly diagnosed patients may result in favorable response rates, greater depth of remission, and lower treatment-related toxic effects.

In this study, newly diagnosed non-elderly patients with Philadelphia chromosomal negative (PH-) B-ALL were enrolled and 1:1 randomised into Reduced-intensity chemotherapy followed by Blinatumomab cohort or hyperCVAD cohort as induction therapy. The clinical remission rate, MRD negative rate and treaty-related adverse reactions were evaluated.

The regimen of consolidation therapy is recommended as multidrug combination chemotherapy (including high-dose Methotrexate or Cytarabine combined with Asparaginase) or alternating with Blinatumomab (28 ug/d×28d). If Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is not performed, consolidation therapy needs at least 4 courses before 2 years maintenance therapy.
