Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with B-lineage acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in hematologic complete remission (CR) with molecular failure (i.e., had never achieved an MRD-negativity status before blinatumomab) or had a molecular relapse (i.e., became MRD positive after having been MRD negative) starting at any time point after 3 months of frontline therapy; molecular disease or minimal residual disease is defined by a value of at least of 1 x 10^-4 (0.01%) by multicolor flow cytometry and/or by next generation sequencing (NGS)

  • No active or co-existing malignancy with life expectancy less than 12 months
  • Patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) ALL can be enrolled in CR1 or CR2 and beyond; a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) will be added at the discretion of the treating physician; MRD for these patients will be defined by PCR of 0.1% and above (International Scale)

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Treatment (blinatumomab)

Arm Description

Patients receive blinatumomab IV continuously on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 5 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who do not proceed with stem cell transplantation may receive blinatumomab IV maintenance therapy with one cycle every 3 months for up to 4 cycles. Patients who remain in MRD remission for 3 months and then become MRD positive again can be retreated following the same treatment plan previously received.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Relapse-free survival (RFS)
RFS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. Will compute the Bayesian posterior probability. As a secondary analysis, will perform a competing risk analysis treating stem cell transplant as a competing event for RFS. In addition, will assess the RFS in the subgroup of patients with minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity in at least marrow complete remission (CR) 2 beyond, or in the subgroup of patients with and without allogenic stem cell transplant (ASCT), if permitted by the sample size. Landmark analysis may be performed to assess the difference in RFS between patients with or without receiving ASCT, if permitted by the sample size.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Event-free survival
Defined as RFS in addition to lack of achievement of negative MRD status after 2 cycles of blinatumomab (events will include death, lack of response after 2 cycles, and loss of response/progression, including MRD recurrence).
Overall survival (OS)
OS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. Will assess OS in the subgroup of patients with MRD positivity in at least marrow CR 2 beyond; or in the subgroup of patients with and without ASCT, if permitted by the sample size. Landmark analysis may be performed to assess the difference in OS between patients with or without receiving ASCT, if permitted by the sample size.
MRD negativity rate
Will be estimated along with the exact 95% confidence interval.
MRD negativity rate after course 1
Will be estimated along with the exact 95% confidence interval.
Incidence of toxicity
All treated patients are included in the safety analysis set. The adverse events will be summarized by organ type, grade and attribution to study treatment.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well blinatumomab works in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia whose disease is in remission (causes no symptoms or signs) but is still present in a small number of cells in the body (minimal residual disease). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of blinatumomab in patients B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in complete morphologic remission with positive minimal residual disease (MRD) in terms of relapse-free survival (RFS). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate other efficacy endpoints such as overall survival and MRD negativity rate by flow cytometry and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) overall and after the first cycle, as well as safety of blinatumomab in this setting. OUTLINE: Patients receive blinatumomab intravenously (IV) continuously on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 5 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who do not proceed with stem cell transplantation may receive blinatumomab IV maintenance therapy with one cycle every 3 months for up to 4 cycles. Patients who remain in MRD remission for 3 months and then become MRD positive again can be retreated following the same treatment plan previously received. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months.
