Blinatumomab and Auto-HSCT Sandwich Strategy as Consolidation Therapy for B-ALL

November 18, 2025 updated by: Sheng-Li Xue, MD, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University

Safety and Efficacy of Blinatumomab and Autologous HSCT Sandwich Strategy as Consolidation Therapy for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the main method potentially curing adult B-ALL, but the high treatment-related mortality (NRM) affects overall survival (OS). Autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) can significantly reduce NRM but has a higher relapse rate. Studies have confirmed that achieving MRD negativity before Auto-HSCT can effectively reduce post-transplant relapse, achieving similar efficacy to allo-HSCT. The efficacy of blinatumomab in clearing MRD has been confirmed. Therefore, using blinatumomab combined with Auto-HSCT for B-ALL patients seems to make it possible to achieve benefits in leukemia free survival（LFS） and OS. The investigators first conducted blinatumomab and auto-HSCT "sandwich " strategy as consolidation therapy in patients with B-ALL. The main Purpose of this study was to observe the safety and efficacy of this new strategy.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Enrolled patients received induction chemotherapy with the IVP regimen and two cycles of consolidation chemotherapy: high-dose cytarabine (Ara-c) + pegaspargase (± Tyrosine kinase inhibitors ,TKI) and methotrexate (MTX) + pegaspargase (± TKI). Sequential treatment with blinatumomab was then administered. After the first treatment with blinatumomab, autologous stem cell mobilization and collection were performed. Following successful stem cell collection, autologous stem cell transplantation was conducted. Starting from the third month after autologous stem cell transplantation, the second maintenance treatment with blinatumomab was administered, with one cycle every three months, for a total of four cycles. Long-term follow-up monitoring was then conducted. The follow-up period for this study was two years, and data on two-year LFS, OS, and NRM rates were collected.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child

Other: Blinatumomab and Auto-HSCT Sandwich Strateg
Combination product: blinatumomab and auto-HSCT "sandwich " strategy
The patients received sequential infusion of blinatumomab after standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy. Autologous stem cells mobilization and collection were performed 6-8 weeks after infusion. Following successful stem cell collection, autologous stem cell transplantation was conducted. Starting from the third month after autologous stem cell transplantation, the second maintenance treatment with brentuximab vedotin was administered, with one cycle every three months, for a total of four cycles. Patients were followed up and minimal residual diseases (MRD) was monitored by flow cytometry and second-generation gene sequencing of IgH rearrangement.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival（OS）
Time Frame: 4 years
It is measured from the date of entry into this trial to the date of death from any cause; patients not known to have died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last known to be alive.
4 years
leukemia free survival（LFS）
Time Frame: 4 years
It is measured from the date of achievement of a remission until the date of relapse from CR, or CRi, or death from any cause; patients not known to have any of these events are censored on the date they were last examined.
4 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
