Brief Summary:

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.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
B-Precursor ALL Drug: Blinatumomab Phase 2

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.

Arms and Interventions
Go to

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Blinatumomab

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.

 Drug: Blinatumomab
Patients will receive standard of care chemotherapy before blinatumomab, between blinatumomab cycles and after blinatumomab.
Other Name: blincyto
