Description:
The trial proposed here attempts to reduce induction chemotherapy to phase I of standard
induction in patients with B-precursor ALL. Induction phase II will be replaced by
blinatumomab.
The initial treatment phase is followed by sequential chemotherapy and further blinatumomab
cycles.

Purpose
The trial proposed here attempts to reduce induction chemotherapy to phase I of standard
induction in patients with B-precursor ALL. Induction phase II will be replaced by
blinatumomab.
The initial treatment phase is followed by sequential chemotherapy and further blinatumomab
cycles.
Detailed Description
Blinatumomab is a bispecific single-chain antibody construct designed to link B cells and T
cells resulting in T-cell activation and a cytotoxic T-cell response against CD19 expressing
cells. In Phase II-III clinical trials 43-69 % of the patients treated with blinatumomab in
relapsed/refractory ALL with poor prognostic features, achieved a complete hematologic
remission and around 80 % of these obtained a molecular remission as well. Blinatumomab thus
has demonstrated significant antileukemic activity in relapsed/refractory adult ALL. The
ultimate goal for optimised management of adult ALL is to integrate targeted compounds with
known single-drug activity into first-line treatment.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Blinatumomab | Experimental | Patients will receive blinatumomab at a dose of 28 μg/day as continuous intravenous infusion at constant flow rate for four weeks defined as one treatment cycle. Up to four cycles will be performed.
In case of defined toxicities, the dose of blinatumomab may be reduced to 9 μg/day. | |
