Short-course blinatumomab treatment for B-ALL patients with measurable residual disease

Efficacy of Short-course Blinatumomab in Patients With Detectable Measurable Residual Disease With Philadelphia Chromosome-negative B-cell Acute Lymphoblastyc Leukemia

Phase 2 Interventional Hospital Universitario Dr. Jose E. Gonzalez · NCT06886074

This study tests whether a short treatment with blinatumomab can help people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who still have some cancer cells left after their initial treatment, before they get a stem cell transplant.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of a short course of blinatumomab in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who have detectable measurable residual disease (MRD) after achieving a complete response. The treatment involves administering blinatumomab over a 7-day period as a bridge to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The primary goal is to assess the MRD response following this short-course therapy, with evaluations conducted through bone marrow aspiration and next-generation flow cytometry. The study aims to determine the optimal dosing regimen for blinatumomab in this specific patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-ALL who have detectable MRD after achieving a complete response and are candidates for HSCT.

Not a fit: Patients with performance status greater than 2, active central nervous system infiltration, or those who have previously received blinatumomab may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve MRD eradication rates in B-ALL patients, potentially leading to better overall survival and disease-free survival outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While blinatumomab has been established as a standard of care in relapsed/refractory settings, this specific short-course approach is novel and has not been extensively tested in this context.
