New treatment option for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Official title Blinatumomab After TCR Alpha Beta/CD19 Depleted HCT
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04746209
What this study is testing
What is Blinatumomab?
Blinatumomab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Also referred to as Blincyto.
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 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.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
