Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Blinatumomab
Treatment consisted of two induction cycles and up to 3 consolidation cycles of treatment for responders. In the first induction cycle, the initial dose of blinatumomab was 9 μg/day for Days 1-7 and then escalated (dose step) to 28 μg/day starting on day 8 (week 2) through day 29 (week 4). This is followed by two weeks without blinatumomab treatment. In subsequent cycles (beginning with the second induction cycle and continuing through consolidation, for applicable participants) 28 μg/day was administered for all 4 weeks of continuous treatment, followed by a treatment-free interval of two weeks.
