Using blinatumomab with autologous stem cell transplant for B-cell leukemia treatment

Safety and Efficacy of Blinatumomab and Autologous HSCT Sandwich Strategy as Consolidation Therapy for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Phase 1 Interventional The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University · NCT06507514

This study is testing a new treatment for adults with B-cell leukemia that combines a drug called blinatumomab with a stem cell transplant to see if it helps improve their chances of recovery.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates a new treatment strategy for adult patients with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) by combining blinatumomab with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT). Patients will first receive induction and consolidation chemotherapy, followed by treatment with blinatumomab to clear minimal residual disease (MRD). After successful stem cell collection, patients will undergo auto-HSCT, with additional maintenance treatment using blinatumomab for up to a year. The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this approach over a two-year follow-up period.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 15-65 with B-ALL who either lack a suitable allogeneic donor or refuse allogeneic HSCT.

Not a fit: Patients with isolated extramedullary lesions or those previously treated with anti-CD19 therapies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve leukemia-free survival and overall survival rates for patients with B-ALL.

How similar studies have performed: While the combination of blinatumomab and auto-HSCT is a novel approach, previous studies have shown the efficacy of blinatumomab in clearing MRD.
