Blinatumomab Intensification for MRD-Negative Acute B-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia Before Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Short-term Blinatumomab Intensification for MRD-Negative Acute B-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia Before Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study


Sponsor

First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University

Enrollment

114 participants

Start Date

Feb 5, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether short-term blinatumomab intensification before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) can improve survival outcomes in adults with high-risk BCR::ABL1-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who have achieved measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity. Blinatumomab, a CD19/CD3 bispecific T-cell engager, has shown promising efficacy in eradicating MRD and prolonging survival in B-ALL patients. In this study, eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either short-term blinatumomab consolidation prior to allo-HSCT or proceed directly to allo-HSCT. The primary endpoint is relapse-free survival (RFS). This study aims to optimize treatment strategies and improve long-term outcomes for patients with high-risk BCR::ABL1-negative B-ALL.

Interventions

DRUGBlinatumomab

Blinatumomab is administered starting approximately one month before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). For participants weighing ≥45 kg: 9 μg/day is administered on Days 1-3, followed by 28 μg/day on Days 4-14. For participants weighing \<45 kg: 5 μg/m²/day (based on body surface area) is administered on Days 1-3, followed by 15 μg/m²/day on Days 4-14. The total dose must not exceed the dosage used for participants ≥45 kg.

OTHERConsolidation Chemotherapy or Direct Allogeneic HSCT

Participants in the Non-BiTE group will either proceed directly to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) or receive one additional cycle of consolidation chemotherapy prior to
