    1. In remission after first relapse or greater (≥ CR2)
    2. Very-high risk biology ALL that is proceeding to HCT in first remission (e.g. Induction failure, Severe-hypodiploidy, Ph-like ALL)
    3. First remission with persistent disease identified as end of consolidation (EOC) MRD > 0.01%.
  • Patients must have an available unrelated or haploidentical donor
  • Age ≤ 25 years at time of study enrollment
  • Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60% for patients 16 years and older and Lansky Play Score ≥ 60 for patients under 16 years of age
  • Have acceptable organ function as defined within 14 days of study registration: Renal: creatinine clearance or radioisotope GFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2 Hepatic: ALT < 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and total bilirubin ≤ 3 mg/dL Cardiac: left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 40% by ECHO/MUGA Pulmonary: No evidence of dyspnea at rest. No supplemental oxygen requirement. If measured, carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) > 50%. Central Nervous System: Based on clinical exam, no concern for/evidence of active CNS infection. Patients with fully treated prior CNS infections are eligible. Patients with seizure disorders may be enrolled if seizures are well-controlled on anticonvulsant therapy.
  • Patients who have experienced their relapse after HCT are eligible, provided they have no evidence of acute or chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) and are off all transplant immune suppression therapy for at least 7-days (e.g. steroids, cyclosporine, tacrolimus). Steroid therapy for non-GVHD and/or non-leukemia therapy is acceptable.

All females of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 7 days prior to registration to rule out pregnancy.
  • Known allergy to any chemotherapies or targeted agents included in this protocol.
  • Participating in a concomitant Phase 1 or 2 study involving treatment of disease.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This trial will assess the feasibility of alpha/beta T-cell and B-cell depleted allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) followed by blinatumomab therapy for high-risk B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as a means of reducing rates of subsequent relapse and improving survival, while also minimizing treatment-related morbidity/ mortality and late effects. The conditioning regimens will be dependent on the patient's minimal residual disease (MRD) status prior to HCT using high throughput sequencing.
Detailed Description
This trial evaluates the ability of a biologically active therapy in blinatumomab, an anti-CD19/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager, to further reduce the risk of leukemia relapse following HCT to improve post-HCT outcomes. The investigators will also utilize an alpha-beta T-cell and B-cell depleted graft to reduce the risk of GVHD along with a reduced intensity conditioning regimen without the use of TBI in patients who are minimal residual disease (MRD) negative using high throughput sequencing (HTS) prior to HCT. For those patients who remain HTS-MRD positive, a myeloablative conditioning regimen will be utilized, also followed by blinatumomab. This multi-institutional pilot study will be limited to 25 (estimated 10-15 per stratum) evaluable children, adolescents and young adults with B-ALL, that have experienced a relapse or have high-risk disease.
