New treatment option for B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Official title Blinatumomab, Inotuzumab Ozogamicin, and Combination Chemotherapy as Frontline Therapy in Treating Patients With B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02877303
What this study is testing
What is Blinatumomab?
Blinatumomab is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for b acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Also referred to as Anti-CD19 x Anti-CD3 Bispecific Monoclonal Antibody, Anti-CD19/Anti-CD3 Recombinant Bispecific Monoclonal Antibody MT103.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This phase II trial studies how well blinatumomab, inotuzumab ozogamicin, and combination chemotherapy work as frontline therapy in treating patients with B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 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.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 24 months
